AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: We are advising the public that the Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection Service has prepared a draft plant pest risk assessment and 
draft environmental assessment regarding a request from Pioneer Hi-Bred 
International, Inc., seeking a determination of nonregulated status for 
DP23211 maize (corn), which was developed using genetic engineering for 
insect resistance to western corn rootworm and contains the gene that 
codes for the phosphinothricin acetyltransferase protein responsible 
for tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicides. DP23211 corn also 
contains the gene that encodes for the phosphomannose isomerase 
protein, which is used as a selectable marker. We are making these 
documents available for public review and comment.

DATES: We will consider all comments that we receive on or before May 
11, 2023.
