Registration of Brand Name Materials for Organic Food Production

Chapter 16-160, WAC

The WSDA Organic Food Program (OFP) is proposing changes to chapter 16-160 WAC, Registration of Brand Name Materials for Organic Food Production.  The Brand Name Material Registration Program is a voluntary program that approves materials used in organic production and handling.  The program is funded from registration fees and those fees have not been adequate to cover the full cost of the program.  The proposed changes increase registration fees and change the logo used for approved materials.   

Comments Due: 7/26/07  Adopted (tentative): 8/6/07  Effective tentative): 9/6/07
