APHIS seeks input on new rule for genetically engineered organisms

Washington -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is looking to revise its existing regulations regarding the importation, interstate transportation and environmental release of certain genetically engineered (GE) organisms currently regulated by the Plant Protection Act of 2000.

Washington

-- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is looking to revise its existing regulations regarding the importation, interstate transportation and environmental release of certain genetically engineered (GE) organisms currently regulated by the Plant Protection Act of 2000.

The proposed rule change would address several aspects of the 2008 Farm Bill regarding the improvements of the GE organism monitoring, but does not cover vertabrate animals. The changes include provisions to protect against plant pest or noxious weed risks in light of new advances in biotechnology.

APHIS is accepting comments on the proposal, which can be viewed here, until Nov. 24. Comments can be submitted electronically by clicking here.
