AgroPages-APHIS to extend deruglation status for two J.R. Simplot GE potato lines-Agricultural news

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has preliminarily determined that it will extend deregulation to two lines of genetically engineered (GE) potatoes developed by J.R. Simplot Company for late blight resistance, low acrylamide potential, reduced black spot bruising, and lowered reducing sugars.

APHIS previously reviewed and deregulated these GE traits in other GE potatoes. The organization prepared a plant pest risk similarity assessment (PPRSA), preliminary finding of no significant impact (FONSI), and a preliminary determination of nonregulated status that are available for a 30-day public review and comment period beginning September 23, 2016. APHIS will consider all public comments received on or before October 24, 2016.
