USDA Extends Determination of Nonregulated Status of IR Soybean MON87751
October 22, 2014 |
The USDA Animal and Plant Heath Inspection Service (APHIS) announced the extension of determination of nonregulated status for insect resistant soybean MON 87751. According to APHIS Deputy Administrator for Biotechnology Regulatory Service, Michael Firko, they have determined that MON 87751 soy and progeny derived from it are unlikely to pose plant pest risks and are no longer to be considered regulated articles under APHIS' Biotechnology Regulations. Hence, APHIS will approve the request to extend the determination of nonregulated status to MON 87751 soy. Therefore, APHIS-approved permits or acknowledged notifications that were previously required for environmental release, interstate movement, or importation under those regulations will no longer be required for MON 87751 soy and its progeny.
