Bayer CropScience; Determination of Nonregulated Status for
Cotton Genetically Engineered for Glyphosate Herbicide Tolerance
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: We are advising the public of our determination that a
cotton line developed by Bayer CropScience, designated as
transformation event GHB614, which has been genetically
engineered for tolerance to the
herbicide glyphosate, is no longer considered a regulated
article under our regulations governing the introduction of
certain genetically engineered organisms. Our determination is
based on our evaluation of data submitted by the Bayer
CropScience in its petition for a determination of nonregulated
status, our analysis of other scientific
data, and comments received from the public in response to a
previous notice announcing the availability of the petition for
nonregulated status, our environmental assessment, and the pest
risk assessment. This notice also announces the availability of
our determination and finding of no significant impact.
DATES: Effective Date: May 22, 2009.
