FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. John Turner, Director, Biotechnology Risk Analysis Programs, Biotechnology Regulatory Services, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 147, Riverdale, MD 20737-1236; (301) 851-3954, email: john.t.turner@aphis.usda.gov. To obtain copies of the supporting documents, contact Ms. Cindy Eck at (301) 851-3885, email: cynthia.a.eck@aphis.usda.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the authority of the plant pest provisions of the Plant Protection Act (PPA) (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.), the regulations in 7 CFR part 340, ``Introduction of Organisms and Products Altered or Produced Through Genetic Engineering Which Are Plant Pests or Which There Is Reason to Believe Are Plant Pests,'' regulate, among other things, the introduction (importation, interstate movement, or release into the environment) of organisms and products altered or produced through genetic engineering that are plant pests or that there is reason to believe are plant pests. Such genetically engineered organisms and products are considered ``regulated articles.'' The regulations in Sec. 340.6(a) provide that any person may submit a petition to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) seeking a determination that an article should not be regulated under 7 CFR part 340. Further, the regulations in Sec. 340.6(e)(2) provide that a person may request that APHIS extend a determination of nonregulated status to other organisms. Such a request must include information to establish the similarity of the antecedent organism and the regulated article in question. [[Page 53397]] In a notice \1\ published in the Federal Register on November 8, 2013 (78 FR 67100, Docket No. APHIS-2012-0025), APHIS announced our determination of nonregulated status of apples (Malus domestica) designated as events GD743 and GS784, which have been genetically engineered to resist browning. APHIS has received a request for an extension of a determination of nonregulated status of GD743 and GS784 apples to Arctic[supreg] apple event NF872 (hereinafter NF872 apple) (APHIS Petition Number 16-004-01p) from Okanagan Specialty Fruits, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as OSF), of British Columbia, Canada. In the extension request, OSF named the two previously deregulated apple events as antecedents. Like the antecedents, NF872 apple is genetically engineered to be resistant to enzymatic browning. In its request, OSF stated that NF872 apple was produced by transforming an additional variety of apple using the same DNA and method that was used for the antecedent apples and, based on the similarity, is unlikely to pose a plant pest risk. Therefore, the request stated that NF872 apple should not be a regulated article under APHIS' regulations in 7 CFR part 340. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ To view the notice, our determination, supporting documents, and the comments we have received, go to http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=APHIS-2012-0025. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As described in the extension request, NF872 apple has been genetically engineered through the insertion of genetic elements from apples. APHIS has previously assessed the risks associated with the insertion of these same genetic elements into apples and concluded that the resulting organisms did not pose a plant pest risk. Based on the information in the request, we have concluded that NF872 apple is similar to the antecedent apples. NF872 apple is currently regulated under 7 CFR part 340. As part of our decisionmaking process regarding a genetically engineered organism's regulatory status, APHIS evaluates the plant pest risk of the article. In section 403 of the PPA, ``plant pest'' is defined as any living stage of any of the following that can directly or indirectly injure, cause damage to, or cause disease in any plant product: A protozoan, a nonhuman animal, a parasitic plant, a bacterium, a fungus, a virus or viroid, an infectious agent or other pathogen, or any article similar to or allied with any of the foregoing. APHIS completed a plant pest risk assessment (PPRA) for the antecedent organisms in which we concluded that the GD743 and GS784 apples are unlikely to present a plant pest risk. NF872 apple expresses the same resistance to enzymatic browning as the antecedent apples. Therefore, based on our PPRA for the antecedents and the similarity between NF872 apple and the antecedents, APHIS has concluded that NF872 apple is unlikely to pose a plant pest risk. APHIS also prepared a plant pest risk similarity assessment (PPRSA) to compare NF872 to the antecedents. As described in the PPRSA, the NF872 apple was obtained using a polyphenol oxidase (PPO) suppression construct designed to reduce the expression of four apple genes coding for PPO proteins. The PPO suppression construct used in the NF872 apple event is the same construct used in the antecedent apple events GD743 and GS784, and APHIS has concluded that the PPO suppression construct used in GD743 and GS784 is unlikely to affect the plant pest risk of NF872. Furthermore, APHIS has previously reviewed the potential impacts on non-target organisms beneficial to agriculture and concluded that it is unlikely that NF872 apple will have an adverse effect on nontarget organisms. Therefore, based on our PPRA for GD743 apple and GS784 apple and the similarity between GD743 apple, GS784 apple, and NF872 apple as described in the PPRSA, APHIS has concluded that the PPO suppression construct used to obtain the NF872 apple is unlikely to pose a plant pest risk and that NF872 apple is unlikely to pose a different plant pest risk than GD743 apple and GS784 apple. The environmental assessment (EA) for the antecedent organisms was prepared using data submitted by OSF, a review of other scientific data, and field tests conducted under APHIS oversight. The EA was prepared to provide the APHIS decisionmaker with a review and analysis of any potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed determination of nonregulated status of the antecedent apples. The EA was prepared in accordance with (1) the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.); (2) regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality for implementing the procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500-1508); (3) USDA regulations implementing NEPA (7 CFR part 1b); and (4) APHIS' NEPA Implementing Procedures (7 CFR part 372). Based on the similarity of NF872 apple to the antecedent apples, APHIS has prepared a preliminary finding of no significant impact (FONSI) on NF872 apple using the EA prepared for GD743 and GS784 apples. APHIS considered the following alternatives: (1) Take no action, i.e., APHIS would not change the regulatory status of NF872 apple and it would continue to be a regulated article, or (2) make a determination of nonregulated status of NF872 apple. APHIS' preferred alternative is to make a determination of nonregulated status of NF872 apple. APHIS has carefully examined the existing NEPA documentation completed for GD743 and GS784 apples and has concluded that OSF's request to extend a determination of nonregulated status to NF872 apple encompasses the same scope of environmental analysis as the antecedent apples. Based on APHIS' analysis of information submitted by OSF, references provided in the extension request, peer-reviewed publications, information analyzed in the EA, and the similarity of NF872 apple to the antecedent organisms, APHIS has determined that NF872 apple is unlikely to pose a plant pest risk. We have therefore reached a preliminary decision to approve the request to extend the determination of nonregulated status of GD743 and GS784 apples to NF872 apple, whereby NF872 apple would no longer be subject to our regulations governing the introduction of certain genetically engineered organisms. Paragraph (e) of Sec. 340.6 provides that APHIS will publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing all preliminary decisions to extend determinations of nonregulated status for 30 days before the decisions become final and effective. In accordance with Sec. 340.6(e) of the regulations, we are publishing this notice to inform the public of our preliminary decision to extend the determination of nonregulated status of the antecedent apples to NF872 apple. APHIS will accept written comments on the preliminary FONSI regarding a determination of nonregulated status of NF872 apple for a period of 30 days from the date this notice is published in the Federal Register. The preliminary FONSI, as well as the extension request, supporting documents, and our preliminary determination for NF872 apple, are available for public review as indicated under ADDRESSES and FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT above. Copies of these documents may also be obtained by contacting the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. After the comment period closes, APHIS will review all written comments received during the comment period and any other relevant information. All comments will be available for public review. After reviewing and evaluating [[Page 53398]] the comments, if APHIS determines that no substantive information has been received that would warrant APHIS altering its preliminary regulatory determination or FONSI, our preliminary regulatory determination will become final and effective upon notification of the public through an announcement on our Web site at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/biotechnology/petitions_table_pending.shtml. APHIS will also furnish a response to the petitioner regarding our final regulatory determination. No further Federal Register notice will be published announcing the final regulatory determination regarding NF872 apple.
