The final rule of USDA\u2019s Movement of Certain Genetically Engineered Organisms regulation is scheduled to be published in Monday\u2019s Federal Register. The rule amends regulations regarding the movement (importation, interstate movement, and environmental release) of certain genetically engineered organisms in response to advances in genetic engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to USDA, this final rule, which marks the first comprehensive revision of the regulations since they were established in 1987, provides a clear, predictable, and efficient regulatory pathway for innovators, facilitating the development of genetically engineered organisms that are unlikely to pose plant pest risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
