| E8-2909 | Oregon State University; Availability of an Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact for a Controlled Release of Genetically Engineered Populus Species and Hybrids | Notice | We are advising the public that an environmental assessment has been prepared for a proposed controlled field release of genetically engineered (transgenic) clones of Populus species and hybrids. The purpose of this controlled field release is to examine the effects of the genetic constructs on the intended traits of reproductive sterility, reduced stature, reduced light response, and modified lignin content. After assessing the application, reviewing pertinent scientific information, and considering public comments, we have concluded that this field release will not present a plant pest risk, nor will it have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment. Based on the environmental analysis that there are no significant impacts associated with this controlled field release, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that a finding of no significant impact is appropriate and therefore an environmental impact statement need not be prepared for this field release. | 2008-02-15 | 2008 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/02/15/E8-2909/oregon-state-university-availability-of-an-environmental-assessment-and-finding-of-no-significant | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-02-15/pdf/E8-2909.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | We are advising the public that an environmental assessment has been prepared for a proposed controlled field release of genetically engineered (transgenic) clones of Populus species and hybrids.
