Overview: The Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) of 1990 requires the USDA to develop national organic standards for organically-produced agriculture. The final regulations for implementation of the OFPA were published in the Federal Register in December 2000. The new rule took effect April 21, 2001 and marked the beginning of the transition period. Full compliance with the rule will be required by October 20, 2002 in order to use the word "organic" in marketing. At that time, products can begin to use the National Organic Program organic seal label.
