| 2020-28534 | Regulation of the Movement of Animals Modified or Developed by Genetic Engineering | Proposed Rule | We are soliciting public comment on establishing regulations for the movement of certain animals modified or developed by genetic engineering. Under the regulatory framework being contemplated, the United States Department of Agriculture would promulgate regulations using the authorities granted to the Department through the Animal Health Protection Act, the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA), and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA). Pursuant to these authorities, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service would conduct a safety assessment of animals subject to the FMIA or PPIA that have been modified or developed using genetic engineering that may increase the animal's susceptibility to pests or diseases of livestock, including zoonotic diseases, or ability to transmit the same. The Food Safety and Inspection Service would conduct a pre-slaughter food safety assessment to ensure that the slaughter and processing of certain animals modified or developed using genetic engineering would not result in a product that is adulterated or misbranded. | 2020-12-28 | 2020 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/12/28/2020-28534/regulation-of-the-movement-of-animals-modified-or-developed-by-genetic-engineering | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-12-28/pdf/2020-28534.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service; Food Safety and Inspection Service | 12,22,201 | We are soliciting public comment on establishing regulations for the movement of certain animals modified or developed by genetic engineering.
