Introduction of organisms and products altered or produced through genetic engineering

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of availability of draft environmental impact statement and request for comments.

SUMMARY: We are evaluating our regulatory program to determine whether we should revise our regulations regarding the importation, interstate movement, and environmental release of genetically engineered organisms. We are seeking public comment on the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) we have prepared relative to the regulatory revisions we are considering. The DEIS evaluates the alternatives we
have identified in terms of their potential effects on the human environment compared to the effects of our current regulatory program. We believe our ongoing evaluation of these alternatives would benefit from the submission of additional views and data from the public, and we are especially interested in receiving comments on the subset of DEIS alternatives described in this notice.

DATES: We will consider all comments that we receive on or before September 17, 2007.
