 AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.
 ACTION: Request for comments.
 SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is announcing a forthcoming meeting of the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB). The principal purpose of NOSB meetings is to provide an opportunity for the organic community to weigh in on proposed NOSB recommendations and discussion items. These meetings also allow the NOSB to receive updates from the USDA/NOP on issues pertaining to organic agriculture.
 DATES: The meeting dates are Monday, October 25, 2010, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Tuesday, October 26, 2010, 8 a.m. to 4:40 p.m.; Wednesday, October 27, 2010, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Thursday, October 28, 2010, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Requests from individuals and organizations wishing to make oral presentations at the meeting are due by the close of business on Tuesday, October 12, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 2119 (7 U.S.C. 6518) of the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (OFPA), as amended (7 U.S.C. 6501 
                    *et seq.*) requires the establishment of the NOSB. The purpose of the NOSB is to make recommendations about whether a substance should be allowed or prohibited in organic production or handling, to assist in the development of standards for substances to be used in organic production, and to advise the Secretary on other aspects of the implementation of the OFPA. The NOSB met for the first time in Washington, DC, in March 1992, and currently has six subcommittees working on various aspects of the organic program. The committees are: Compliance, Accreditation, and Certification; Crops; Handling; Livestock; Materials; and Policy Development. In August of 1994, the NOSB provided its initial recommendations for the NOP to the Secretary of Agriculture. Since that time, the NOSB has submitted 197 addenda to its recommendations and reviewed more than 357 substances for inclusion on the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances. The Department of Agriculture (USDA) published its final National Organic Program regulation in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     on December 21, 2000, (65 FR 80548). The rule became effective April 21, 2001. In addition, the OFPA authorizes the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances and provides that no allowed or prohibited substance would remain on the National List for a period exceeding five years unless the exemption or prohibition is reviewed and recommended for renewal by the NOSB and adopted by the Secretary of Agriculture. This expiration is commonly referred to as sunset of the National List. The National List appears at 7 CFR Part 205, Subpart G. The principal purpose of NOSB meetings is to provide an opportunity for the organic community to weigh in on proposed NOSB recommendations and discussion items. These meetings also allow the NOSB to receive updates from the USDA/NOP on issues pertaining to organic agriculture. Summary of April 2010 NOSB Meeting The last NOSB meeting was held on April 26-29, 2010, in Davis, California. During this meeting, the Board did not recommend the addition of any new materials to the National List, but did recommend renewal of 148 of the 232 listings of materials scheduled to expire on specific dates in 2012 (
                    *see*
                     Table 1). In addition, the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Sunset 2012 [Doc. No. AMS-NOP-09-0074; NOP-09-01] (75 FR 14500, March 26, 2010) was open for comments during the time of the April 2010 business meeting, and was not scheduled to close until May 25, 2010. Consequently, the Board had not yet received or reviewed all public comments, and was aware that additional information may be received from the public that may require the reconsideration of one or all of the materials recommended for continued listing at the next scheduled meeting of the Board.

 In addition to sunset 2012 activities, the board accomplished the following: Suggested six steps to accomplish the changes in regulation to allow NOSB, NOP, and EPA to review materials currently on the now obsolete EPA List 3 and 4 Inerts and determine how best to evaluate these materials; proposed an annotation to allow the petitioned levels of the three forms of methionine allowed in organic poultry feed through October 1, 2012, at which time the maximum levels of methionine would be reduced; and proposed a language clarification to allow young organic animals still receiving milk in their diet to consume milk from animals being treated with substances allowed under § 205.603, regardless of withholding time. Agenda Items for Fall 2010 The Crops Committee will present recommendations on eight sunset 2012 material listings (
