Availability of Determination of Nonregulated Status for Genetically Engineered Tomato Line of Monsanto Company
We are advising the public of our determination that a tomato line developed by the Monsanto Company designated as 8338 that has been genetically engineered for delayed ripening 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 Monsanto Company in its petition for a determination of nonregulated status, an analysis of other scientific data, and our review of comments received from the public in response to a previous notice announcing our receipt of the Monsanto Company petition. This notice also announces the availability of our written determination document and its associated environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact.
