The National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) generally meets twice each year in a public forum to discuss and vote on recommendations to the USDA. These recommendations help the Department develop and refine the organic standards.
We plan to webcast the meeting live for those who cannot travel. Should circumstances not permit an in-person meeting, the meeting will be held virtually. Updates will be posted to the meeting webpage at the link below.
The NOSB invites oral and written public comment on its fall agenda topics. Registration for oral comment speaking slots will open in late August 2023. Written comments may be submitted via Regulations.gov.
Deadlines: To be considered during the Fall 2023 Meeting, written comments and requests to provide oral comments must be received by 11:59 pm ET on Thursday, September 28, 2023. This timeframe gives the Board time to review the comments before the meeting.
