National Organic Standards Board
Fall 2021 Meeting Now Virtual

Comment Period Open

UPDATE: We have decided to modify the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) Fall 2021 Meeting to be held live online, instead of in-person. This will allow the Board to move forward with deliberations as scheduled in an open and public setting, without the need for travel. For those who had planned to attend in person, the NOSB room block has been cancelled; be sure to check any other hotel reservations that you have made.

The public comment period and public comment registration are now open for the NOSB Fall 2021 Meeting. Interested parties are encouraged to review the online meeting materials and provide feedback on topics included on the agenda.

Meeting materials available online include the tentative agenda, proposals and discussion documents. Individual proposal documents are posted on the subcommittee web pages and as a single combined PDF on the NOSB Fall 2021 meeting webpage (linked below).

Deadlines: To be considered during the Fall 2021 Meeting, written comments and requests for oral comment speaking slots must be received by 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, September 30, 2021.

Details on how to comment are available on the NOSB Fall 2021 Meeting webpage.
