Agricultural Marketing Service July 12, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Regulations and Procedures Under the Plant Variety Protection Act
Document Number: 2019-14799
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-07-12
Agency: Agricultural Marketing Service, Department of Agriculture
Comments are invited on proposed revisions to the regulations, fees for services, and procedures established under the Plant Variety Protection Act. The proposed revisions are needed to conform with recent amendments to the Plant Variety Protection Act, which added authority for the Plant Variety Protection Office to issue certificates of protection for varieties of plants that are reproduced asexually. The proposed rule would add references to the term ``asexual reproduction'' to the regulations established under the Act. The proposed rule would also modernize the regulations by simplifying the fee schedule for PVPO services and updating the regulations relating to administrative procedures to reflect current business practices.
