## Summary

**Risk-based oversight** to protect organic integrity. This bill would let the Secretary adjust inspection intensity by assessed risk and requires a formal study to design those changes within set deadlines. - Farms and handling operations: Foreign farms and handlers would need on-site inspections. U.S. farms would get an on-site inspection at least once every 3 years and annual follow-up inspections could be on-site or virtual based on risk. - Certifying agents and the National Organic Program: The bill defines "oversight protocols" and requires a study within 12 months and a public report within 18 months. The Secretary could then issue regulations to apply risk-based protocols and prioritize enforcement resources. - Consumers and sector resilience: The bill defines "risk to organic integrity" as the chance an organic product is noncompliant and authorizes reforms that aim to strengthen enforcement where risk is higher while lowering oversight costs for lower-risk operations.
