Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 134 / Friday, July 13, 2007 / Notices pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES comments by the close of the 60-day comment period, which ended on July 17, 2006. There were 1,708 comments that were opposed to a determination of nonregulated status for the C5 plum and 17 comments that supported it. The majority of comments in opposition to deregulation were the same or similar and came from organic grower or consumer groups, individual organic growers, individuals who favor organic agriculture, or individuals who oppose genetic engineering in general. The majority of those comments supporting the determination of nonregulated status were from academic researchers and State farm bureaus. APHIS has addressed the issues raised during the comment period and has provided responses to these comments as attachments to the finding of no significant impact. Determination Based on APHIS’ analysis of the field, greenhouse, and laboratory data submitted by ARS, references provided in the petition, other relevant information described in the EA, and comments provided by the public, APHIS has determined that the C5 plum will not pose a plant pest risk for the following reasons: (1) The potential for gene flow and introgression are insignificant, therefore, the potential impacts from these are also insignificant; (2) the C5 plum is unlikely to thrive in unmanaged ecosystems, therefore, it is unlikely that there would be any weed impact from deregulation; (3) it does not produce any novel proteins or have any toxic properties that are likely to impact non-target organisms, including beneficial organisms and threatened or endangered species; (4) there is no apparent potential for significant impact on biodiversity; (5) the likelihood that the C5 plum would increase the development of new viruses or viruses with novel or altered properties is very low; and (6) if C5 plums were to be grown commercially, the impact on the environment would likely be no different than from cultivation of other domesticated plums. APHIS has concluded that the subject plum and any progeny derived from hybrid crosses with other nontransformed plum varieties will be no more of a plant pest than plum varieties in traditional breeding programs that are not subject to regulation under 7 CFR part 340. The effect of this determination is that ARS C5 plum is no longer considered a regulated article under APHIS’ regulations in 7 CFR part 340. Therefore, the requirements pertaining to regulated articles under VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:05 Jul 12, 2007 Jkt 211001 those regulations no longer apply to the field testing, importation, or interstate movement of C5 plum or its progeny. National Environmental Policy Act To provide the public with documentation of APHIS’ review and analysis of any potential environmental impacts associated with the determination of nonregulated status for ARS C5 plum, an EA was prepared. The EA was prepared in accordance with (1) The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), (2) regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality for implementing the procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), (3) USDA regulations implementing NEPA (7 CFR part 1b), and (4) APHIS’ NEPA Implementing Procedures (7 CFR part 372). Based on that EA, APHIS has reached a finding of no significant impact with regard to the determination that ARS plum line C5 and lines developed from it are no longer regulated articles under its regulations in 7 CFR part 340. Copies of the EA and finding of no significant impact are available as indicated in the ADDRESSES and FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT sections of this notice. Authority: 7 U.S.C. 7701–7772 and 7781– 7786; 31 U.S.C. 9701; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and 371.3. Done in Washington, DC, this 29th day of June 2007.
