SUMMARY: We are advising the public that the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service has received a petition from Bayer
CropScience seeking a determination of nonregulated status for
cotton genetically engineered for tolerance to the herbicide
glyphosate derived from a transformation event designated as

regulations concerning the introduction of certain genetically
engineered organisms and products. In accordance with those
regulations, we are soliciting comments on whether this
genetically engineered cotton is or could be a plant pest. We
are making available for public comment the petition and draft
environmental assessment for the proposed determination of
nonregulated status.
DATES: We will consider all comments that we receive on or
before August 18, 2008.
