National Environmental Policy Act 

A draft EA has been prepared to 

provide the APHIS decisionmaker with 

a review and analysis of any potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed determination of 

nonregulated status for the MIR162 corn 

line. The draft 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). 

In accordance with § 340.6(d) of the 

regulations, we are publishing this 

notice to inform the public that APHIS 

will accept written comments regarding 

the petition for a determination of 

nonregulated status from interested or 

affected persons for a period of 60 days 

from the date of this notice. We are also 

soliciting written comments from 

interested or affected persons on the 

draft EA prepared to examine any 

potential environmental impacts of the 

proposed determination for the 

deregulation of the subject corn line, 

and the plant pest risk assessment. The 

petition, draft EA, and plant pest risk 

assessment are available for public 

review, and copies of the petition, draft 

EA, and plant pest risk assessment are 

available as indicated under ADDRESSES

and FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

above. 

After the comment period closes, 

APHIS will review all written comments 

received during the comment period 

and any other relevant information. All 

public comments received regarding the 

petition, draft EA, and plant pest risk 

assessment will be available for public 

review. After reviewing and evaluating 

the comments on the petition, the draft 

EA, plant pest risk assessment and other 

data, APHIS will furnish a response to 

the petitioner, either approving or 

denying the petition. APHIS will then 

publish a notice in the Federal Register 

announcing the regulatory status of the 

MIR162 corn line and the availability of 

APHIS’ written regulatory and 

environmental decision.
