US Federal Register notice: Movement of Organisms Modified or Produced Through Genetic Engineering

[Note: Five new rules as to the nature, size, and number of mutations in plants are being proposed to reduce regulatory burden. The public is asked to provide comments.]

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

SUMMARY:

We are advising the public that we are proposing to add five new types of genetic modifications a plant can contain and be exempt from the regulations for the movement of organisms modified or produced through genetic engineering because such modifications could otherwise be achieved through conventional breeding methods.
