The members of these organizations have a shared dedication to ensuring and maintaining the health and welfare of the animals under their care as well as the safety of the products they produce. Collectively, NCBA, NPPC, NMPF, ASI, NCC and NTF have dedicated resources and programs that have been developed through sound science and research and to educate producers on best practices that ensure high welfare of all animals. We understand that an objective of the National Organic Program is to ensure the health and welfare of animals that are raised under organic standards. At the same time, we collectively believe that industry quality assurance standards and practices are already in place to address these concerns. We request a 60-day extension to the public comment period to apply the necessary due diligence in our review of the proposed practices, existing scientific literature, and economic impacts of the proposed rule. It is our desire to have sufficient time to develop and provide well-informed and meaningful comments, which address all aspects of the proposed rule. Thank you for your consideration of our request for a 60-day extension to the public comment period.
