We are advising the public of
our determination that a soybean line
developed by the Monsanto Co.,
designated as event MON 87769, which
has been genetically engineered to
produce stearidonic acid, an omega-3
fatty acid not found in conventional
soybean, is no longer considered a
regulated article under our regulations
governing the introduction of certain
genetically engineered organisms. Our
determination is based on our
evaluation of data submitted by the
Monsanto Company in its petition for a
determination of nonregulated status,
our analysis of available scientific data,
and comments received from the public
in response to our previous notice
announcing the availability of the
petition for nonregulated status and its
associated environmental assessment
and plant pest risk assessment. This
notice also announces the availability of
our written determination and finding
of no significant impact.
