SUMMARY: We are advising the public

compliance assistance program 

designed to help regulated entities 

develop and implement sound

compliance with the regulatory 

requirements for field trials and 

movement of genetically engineered 

organisms in 7 CFR part 340. 

DATES: Letters of interest may be 

submitted at any time.

Edward Jhee, Chief, Compliance 

Assistance Branch, Biotechnology 

Regulatory Services, APHIS, 4700 River

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

APHIS regulates the introduction— 

the importation, interstate movement, 

and environmental release—of 

genetically engineered (GE) organisms 

that are, or may be, plant pests. It is 

essential that applicants approved to 

introduce regulated GE organisms 

comply with all APHIS regulations and 

permit conditions. To assist regulated 

entities in achieving and maintaining 

compliance with the regulatory 

requirements for field trials and 

movements of GE organisms in 7 CFR 

part 340, APHIS has developed a 

voluntary, audit-based compliance 

assistance program known as the 

Biotechnology Quality Management 

System Program (BQMS Program). The 

BQMS Program is designed to assist all 

regulated entities—to include 

universities, small businesses, and large 

companies—develop sound 

management practices through the 

creation and implementation of a 

customized biotechnology quality 

management system (BQMS). 

APHIS conducted a BQMS Program 

pilot development project in 2009, 

during which five entities participated 

and assisted APHIS in evaluating a 

BQMS draft audit standard, program 

training sessions, and audit procedures. 

APHIS selected the volunteer 

participants for the pilot program after 

soliciting letters of interest through a 

notice1 published in the Federal 

Register on September 2, 2008 (73 FR 

51266-51267, Docket No. APHIS–2008– 

0098). In addition, APHIS published a 

notice in the Federal Register (74 FR 

26831-26832, Docket No. APHIS-2008- 

0098) on June 4, 2009, soliciting 

comments from the public on the BQMS 

draft audit standard. Comments on the 

BQMS draft audit standard were to have 

been received on or before August 3, 

2009. APHIS subsequently published a 

notice in the Federal Register on August 

24, 2009 (74 FR 42644, Docket No. 

APHIS-2008-0098), reopening the 

comment period on the draft audit 

standard until October 23, 2009. 

Following the pilot development 

project and after evaluating the 

comments submitted on the BQMS draft 

audit standard, APHIS made 

adjustments to the BQMS Program and 

to the BQMS audit standard. APHIS will 

soon publish a notice in the Federal 

Register announcing the availability of 

our evaluation of the comments 

received and the availability of a revised 

BQMS audit standard. 

APHIS is now soliciting letters of 

interest from regulated entities 

interested in participating in the BQMS 

Program and the requisite training 

sessions. APHIS anticipates scheduling 

two training sessions during the 

remainder of calendar year 2010, most 

likely during summer and fall, and two 

training sessions in 2011, most likely in 

spring and fall. Regulated entities 

interested in participating should 

indicate their preference for the 

scheduling of a training session. Exact 

training session dates will be 

determined following discussions with 

interested entities. Each training session 

will be limited to five or six entities 

with approximately two or three 

representatives from each entity. 

Participants in the BQMS Program 

will be expected to commit to the 

following: 

∑ Attend required APHIS training 

sessions on the BQMS Program; 

∑ Develop and implement a BQMS 

within their organization; 

∑ Establish methods and procedures 

for monitoring critical processes and 

procedures for the movement and field 

testing of regulated GE organisms; 

∑ Participate in evaluations after 

completing training modules; and 

∑ Submit to a third-party verification 

audit in order to receive full Program 

recognition. 

Participating in the BQMS Program 

will provide regulated entities with 

concrete, practical compliance 

assistance and will afford participants 

an opportunity to demonstrate their 

commitment to regulatory 

accountability, increased transparency, 

and the identification and 

implementation of measures to 

minimize the occurrence of compliance 

infractions. 

APHIS is interested in advancing the 

BQMS Program in the next few months 

and encourages interested entities to 

submit letters of interest as soon as 

possible. APHIS will, however, accept 

letters of interest at any time. Interested 

entities may submit letters of interest by 

mail or e-mail to the person listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

APHIS will promptly contact all 

regulated entities that submit letters of 

interest to discuss their participation in 

the BQMS Program and requisite 

training sessions. A list of future 

training dates will be posted on the 

APHIS Web site at (http://www.aphis.

usda.gov/biotechnology/news_bqms.

shtml).
