National Organic Program: A program authorized by the
Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (Title 21 of the
FACT Act of 1990) that would set national standards for
organic products, and permit such products to be
certified and labeled as "USDA Certified Organic."
The Act authorized the program to begin in 1993. However, due to delays in
developing the standards and to controversy over the proposed rule that was
published in the Federal Register (December 16,
1997, Page 65849-65898) the program had not yet been implemented by mid-1999.
