October 23, 2015
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has preliminarily determined that it will extend deregulation to a line of genetically engineered (GE) corn developed by Syngenta Seeds, Inc., that is resistant to the herbicides glyphosate and glufosinate. APHIS previously reviewed and deregulated this GE trait in other GE corn plants. We have prepared a draft environmental assessment, preliminary finding of no significant impact (FONSI) and a preliminary determination of nonregulated status that will be available for a 30-day public review and comment period upon publication of the Federal Register notice on October 27, 2015.
