While the federal agency already received more than 4,600 comments during the initial comment period that closed in January, it is now encouraging “additional input on several topics identified by commenters.” This seems to a sign that USDA is willing to provide more flexible regulations, as many interested parties—from industry operators to members of Congress—have requested.
1. Measurement of Uncertainty for Sampling
2. Liquid Chromatography Factor, 0.877
3. Disposal and Remediation of Non-Compliant Plants
7. Hemp seedlings, microgreens, and clones
9. Sampling Methodology – Flower vs. Whole Plant
10. Sampling Methodology – Homogenous Composition, Frequency, and Volume
12. DEA Laboratory Registration
This is a welcome development as far as stakeholders are concerned, giving hope that USDA could ultimately revise some of the more onerous restrictions that they’ve indicated could hamper the industry’s potential.
The department’s rule for hemp, when finalized, is set to take effect on October 31, 2021.
