Availability of Determination of Nonregulated Status for Genetically Engineered Cotton
We are advising the public of our determination that the Monsanto Company's cotton lines designated as 1445 and 1698 that have been genetically engineered for tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate are no longer considered regulated articles 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.
