Change Report Review Time

The length of time it takes for OMRI to review a Change Report varies based on the complexity of the change. Generally, administrative changes (e.g., label updates) take less time to review than technical changes, such as changes to a product’s formulation or manufacturing process. See this page for more information about expedited reviews. 

Most Change Reports are processed in the order in which they are received. Due to a large number of reviews, it is currently taking longer than usual for reviews to begin. In order to help applicants understand what to expect, OMRI updates the table below weekly with information about expected wait times.

Once the review begins, you will be contacted if any additional information is needed. The best way to expedite the review is to submit a complete Change Report with all supporting documentation, and to respond quickly and completely to any requests for more information from OMRI staff. 

Per §2.9 of the OMRI Policy Manual, OMRI Listed suppliers are responsible for notifying OMRI at least 60 days prior to the release of any product affected by a change.
