The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have developed a plan to update, streamline, and clarify their regulations and oversight mechanisms for products of biotechnology. The plan aims to ensure public confidence in the biotechnology regulatory system and improve its transparency, predictability, coordination, and efficiency.###
