Download as PDF 11176 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 43 / Monday, March 6, 2006 / Notices members; complete work on a paper examining the impacts of agricultural biotechnology on American agriculture and USDA over the next 5 to 10 years, through review and revision of the current draft Chair’s text for the paper; and consider preliminary presentations and introductory discussions related to two upcoming committee projects. The projects are the following: (1) What are the effects (in terms of planting decisions, markets, and rural communities) of coexistence issues on the development and use of new crops derived through modern biotechnology? and (2) What avenues of technology transfer or actions by USDA are most likely to result in the production of biotechnology-derived crops— other than large-scale, commingled, major commodity uses— that would have the greatest positive impacts on domestic markets, rural communities in the United States, and developing nations? Background information regarding the work of the AC21 will be available on the USDA Web site at https:// www.usda.gov/wps/portal/!ut/p/ _s.7_0_A/7_0_1OB?contentidonly= true&contentid=AC21Main.xml.
