Title: National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances: Recommendations from the NOSB October 2021 and April 2022 Meetings (Crops) (AMS-NOP-21-0096) 
Abstract:

The National List identifies the synthetic substances that may be used in organic crop and livestock production as well as the nonsynthetic (natural) substances that may not be used. It also identifies the nonorganic substances that may be used in or on processed organic products. Amendments to the National List included in this proposed rule are based on recommendations from the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB). The proposed rule seeks comment on the status of the following substances used in organic crop production: sodium nitrate, ammonia, and nitrogen fertilizers that have carbon-to-nitrogen ratio lower than three-to-one (3:1).
