USDA APHIS Announces Availability of Biotech Regulatory Petitions
July 25, 2013| |
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is sending several biotechnology regulatory actions to the Federal Register for publication in the coming weeks.
The first action is the notice of preliminary deregulation for Glyphosate Resistant Canola (Pioneer) in the Federal Register for review and comment. The next three actions are preliminary deregulations of the following genetically engineered (GE) plants:
- Glyphosate Resistant Canola (Monsanto)
- Glyphosate Resistant Corn (Genective)
- Hybridization System Corn (Monsanto)
According to Mike Firko, APHIS acting deputy administrator for biotechnology regulatory services, "This was the first GE product to complete our improved regulatory review process, and the 3 others are nearing completion." Notice of publication of these actions in the Federal Register and links to the regulatory documents will be posted on the APHIS website when they become available.
