Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 5 / Friday, January 8, 2016 / Notices
of nonregulated status for GE organisms,
we are publishing this notice to inform
the public that APHIS will accept
written comments regarding the petition
for a determination of nonregulated
status from interested or affected
persons for a period of 60 days from the
date of this notice. The petition is
available for public review and
comment, and copies are available as
indicated under ADDRESSES and FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT above.
We are interested in receiving
comments regarding potential
environmental and interrelated
economic issues and impacts that
APHIS may determine should be
considered in our evaluation of the
petition. We are particularly interested
in receiving comments regarding
biological, cultural, or ecological issues,
and we encourage the submission of
scientific data, studies, or research to
support your comments. We also
request that, when possible,
commenters provide relevant
information regarding specific localities
or regions as creeping bentgrass growth,
crop management, and crop utilization
may vary considerably by geographic
region.
After the comment period closes,
APHIS will review all written comments
received during the comment period
and any other relevant information. Any
substantive issues identified by APHIS
based on our review of the petition and
our evaluation and analysis of
comments will be considered in the
development of our decisionmaking
documents. As part of our
decisionmaking process regarding a GE
organism’s regulatory status, APHIS
prepares a plant pest risk assessment to
assess its plant pest risk and the
appropriate environmental
documentation—either an
environmental assessment (EA) or an
environmental impact statement (EIS)—
in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to
provide the Agency with a review and
analysis of any potential environmental
impacts associated with the petition
request. For petitions for which APHIS
prepares an EA, APHIS will follow our
published process for soliciting public
comment (see footnote 1) and publish a
separate notice in the Federal Register
announcing the availability of APHIS’
EA and plant pest risk assessment.
Should APHIS determine that an EIS
is necessary, APHIS will complete the
NEPA EIS process in accordance with
Council on Environmental Quality
regulations (40 CFR part 1500–1508)
and APHIS’ NEPA implementing
regulations (7 CFR part 372).
