This document reflects the outcome of the 2026 sunset review processes and addresses recommendations submitted to the Secretary of Agriculture, through the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service, by the National Organic Standards Board. The substances renewed in this notice currently have three sunset dates: 26 July 2026 (3 substances: oxalic acid dihydrate, pullulan, and collagen gel); 12 September 2026 (52 substances not covered by the July or October sunset dates); and 30 October 2029 (1 substance: tolazoline). Tolazoline was originally scheduled to be reviewed by the NOSB in 2027 but was reviewed early to align with xylazine as they are generally used together. A new sunset date for other substances is outlined in the header for Table 1 included in the document provided for this notification.
