Biologically Engineered Low-Nicotine Tobaccos

In a notice published in the Federal Register on May 15, 2002, the Farm Service Agency (FSA) invited comments from the public about whether the biologically-engineered, low-nicotine Burley Tobacco type 31-V and related tobaccos should be considered quota or non-quota tobacco. The preponderance of public comments supported these tobaccos being considered non-quota for the 2003 and subsequent crop years. This notice announces that there will be no change to the FSA regulations to include these tobaccos among those which are subject to marketing quota regulations.
