The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), two of the U.S. Federal agencies responsible for regulation of agricultural biotech recently announced two comment periods related to products under their jurisdiction.
On March 8, USDA announced an extension of the comment period on its Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking discussing the possible transition of jurisdiction over certain genetically engineered animals from FDA to USDA. USDA had initially published the ANPRM on December 28, 2020, with a 60-day comment period that ended February 26. I discussed the USDA ANPRM in a Wiley alert that we published when the ANPRM was first announced.
