2023-22333 | Dried Prunes Produced in California; Suspension of the Marketing Order | Proposed Rule | This proposed rule would suspend the Federal marketing order regulating dried prunes produced in California (Order) effective at the beginning of the 2023-2024 crop year. After operating for 18 years without handling regulations, the Prune Administrative Committee (Committee) recommended the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) indefinitely suspend the Order. After reviewing the Committee's recommendation, AMS determined that regulatory suspension with a sunset provision of seven years is appropriate. This suspension period would extend through the end of the 2029-2030 crop year and would provide industry sufficient time to assess whether the Order's reinstatement is beneficial. If no recommendation is made by the Committee to reinstate the Order by the end of the 2029-2030 crop year, AMS would proceed to terminate the Order. | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/10/12/2023-22333/dried-prunes-produced-in-california-suspension-of-the-marketing-order | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-10-12/pdf/2023-22333.pdf | https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-22333.pdf?1697028326 | 2023-10-12 | [ "Agriculture Department", "Agricultural Marketing Service" ] |

2023-27255 | National Organic Program (NOP); Organic Livestock and Poultry Standards; Delay of Effective Date and Update of Compliance Date | Rule | The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is delaying the effective date of the Organic Livestock and Poultry Standards (OLPS) final rule, published on November 2, 2023, to meet the requirements of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Congressional Review Act (CRA)). The CRA requires that agencies provide Congress with at least 60 days to review a major rule before it takes effect. For the OLPS final rule, AMS provided the required notice to Congress on November 13, 2023, after publication of the rule. Therefore, the published effective date did not provide 60 days for congressional review. This final rule delays the effective date of the OLPS final rule by 10 days to meet the 60-day requirement. AMS is making a technical correction to the compliance date of January 5, 2029, for indoor and outdoor stocking density requirements and soil and vegetation requirements for broiler operations to January 2, 2029. All other compliance dates of the OLPS final rule remain unchanged. Additionally, in acknowledgement of the U.S. Government Accountability Office assessment of the final rule, AMS confirms that the Administrative Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2023 does not apply to the OLPS final rule because it does not increase direct spending. | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/13/2023-27255/national-organic-program-nop-organic-livestock-and-poultry-standards-delay-of-effective-date-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-13/pdf/2023-27255.pdf | https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-27255.pdf?1702388717 | 2023-12-13 | [ "Agriculture Department", "Agricultural Marketing Service" ] |

2024-04973 | National Organic Program; Market Development for Mushrooms and Pet Food | Proposed Rule | The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) proposes to amend the USDA organic regulations to clarify standards for organic mushrooms and organic pet food. Specific standards for these products do not currently exist. Instead, these products have been certified organic using the general organic standards for crops, livestock, and handling. However, this approach is not ideal as the current regulations do not address unique aspects of either product. AMS expects this rule would promote development of these markets by increasing regulatory certainty that would, in turn, encourage investment in the markets. The topics addressed by the proposed rule include sourcing of substrate and spawn in organic mushroom production, composting requirements for organic mushroom production, composition and labeling requirements for organic pet food, and the use of certain synthetic substances in organic pet food. | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/03/11/2024-04973/national-organic-program-market-development-for-mushrooms-and-pet-food | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-03-11/pdf/2024-04973.pdf | https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-04973.pdf?1709905525 | 2024-03-11 | [ "Agriculture Department", "Agricultural Marketing Service" ] |
