CASA-Bio: Call to all Bioeconomy Researchers and Developers

Calling all Bioeconomy Researchers and Developers, If you think your research is not relevant to the bioeconomy – think again! We are seeking input from researchers interested in food and agriculture, supply chain resilience, human health, or any number of cross-cutting advances like data science; artificial intelligence; workforce development; biomanufacturing scale-up; or multiple areas of social, behavioral, and economic sciences; and security. Your ideas will impact future directions for the bioeconomy.

US Federal Register notice: Movement of Organisms Modified or Produced Through Genetic Engineering

[Note: Five new rules as to the nature, size, and number of mutations in plants are being proposed to reduce regulatory burden. The public is asked to provide comments.]

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

SUMMARY:

We are advising the public that we are proposing to add five new types of genetic modifications a plant can contain and be exempt from the regulations for the movement of organisms modified or produced through genetic engineering because such modifications could otherwise be achieved through conventional breeding methods.
