Availability of an environmental assessment for a field
release of tobacco genetically engineered to produce antibodies
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: We are advising the public that we have prepared an
environmental assessment for a proposed field release involving
a transgenic tobacco line that has been genetically engineered
to produce an antimicrobial antibody that binds to a bacterium
(Streptococcus mutans) associated with tooth decay in humans.
The purpose of this field release is to generate plant biomass
from which the antibody will be extracted after harvest. The
environmental assessment is available to the public for review
and comment.
DATES: We will consider all comments received on or before April
26, 2007.
