Availability of Determination of Nonregulated Status for Genetically Engineered Tomato Lines

We are advising the public of our determination that tomato lines developed by Zeneca Plant Science and Petoseed Company, Inc., designated as B, Da, and F that have been genetically engineered for suppressed polygalacturonase enzyme activity 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 Zeneca Plant Science and Petoseed Company, Inc., in their 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 Zeneca Plant Science and Petoseed, Inc., petition. This notice also announces the availability of our written determination document and its associated environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact.
