APHIS is interested in receiving comments regarding potential environmental and interrelated economic impacts to assist in our assessment of the petition as it relates to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The public comments received, along with the best available scientific documents, will assist APHIS in making a determination on the regulatory status of this cotton variety developed using genetic engineering. The PPRA and dEA can be accessed now on the News page of the BRS website. This notice may be viewed in today’s Federal Register. Beginning tomorrow, members of the public will be able to submit comments through Nov. 16, 2020 at: https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=APHIS-2019-0050.
