Nominations for Members of the National Organic Standards Board

概要

The Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) of 1990, as amended, requires the establishment of a National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) to assist in the development of standards for substances to be used in organic production and to advise the Secretary of Agriculture on any other aspects of the implementation of the Act. The NOSB was originally established on January 24, 1992, with individual members appointed for staggered appointments of 3, 4, and 5 years. The terms of five members will expire in January 1996. The Secretary seeks nominations of individuals to be considered for selection as NOSB members.
