The National Organic Program is pleased to announce that the Sunset 2012 and vitamins and minerals proposed rules are now available to be previewed online.

These proposed rule drafts have been submitted to the Federal Register. Their contents are subject to change before publication in the Federal Register. These versions will be removed from the website when the proposed rules are published in the Federal Register, and a link to the Federal Register publication will be provided.

Please note that the comment period won't be open until these rules are published in the Federal Register on January 12, 2012. A separate NOP Organic Insider message will be sent at that time.
