United StatesThe U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is deregulating Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.’s (Pioneer) DP23211 corn. This corn was developed using genetic engineering to resist corn rootworm and tolerate glufosinate herbicides. After a thorough review, APHIS concluded that DP23211 corn is unlikely to pose a plant pest risk.
The determination is based on the evaluation of the following:
Information Pioneer submitted in its petition for deregulation
USDA APHIS' analyses
Public comments received in response to previous notices announcing the availability of the petition, draft environmental assessment (EA) and draft plant pest risk assessment (PPRA)
