Movement of Organisms Modified or Produced Through Genetic Engineering; Notice of Additional Modifications Exempt Plants Can Contain
We are adding modifications a plant may contain and qualify for exemption from regulations governing movement of organisms modified or produced using genetic engineering because the modifications are achievable through conventional breeding. An earlier notice proposed five types of modifications. Based on a review of public comments, we have been able to streamline and simplify our description of these modifications and are now finalizing two additional modifications a plant can contain and qualify for exemption. This action updates and clarifies the types of modifications that can be made to plants that qualify for exemption to reflect advances in science and technology, and what is achievable through conventional breeding methods to facilitate the application of biotechnology for the development of new crops.
