National Organic Program Reorganized

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) announced organizational and structural changes for the National Organic Program (NOP). The NOP is reorganizing into three branches: Standards Development & Review; Accreditation, Auditing & Training; and Compliance & Enforcement. Also underway is the creation of an "electronic reading room," where all NOP records that can be made publicly available will be accessible electronically, including a new Q&A site to provide answers to questions posed to NOP.
