The information collection and
recordkeeping in this proposed rule would require that ruminant
producers, maintain records that show the daily dry matter
ingredients for organic ruminants.
US Code:
7 USC 6501 et.seq. Name of Law: Organic Foods Production Act of
1990
The number of respondents
reported in the proposed rule was 1,800. In the final rule, the
number of respondents has changed to 2,300. This number changed
because the number of respondents in the proposed rule was based
upon the number of dairy producers only. This final rule however,
pertains to all organic ruminant livestock operations, which
include beef cattle, sheep, goats, etc.
