Therefore, the requirements pertaining

to regulated articles under those

regulations no longer apply to the field

testing, importation, or interstate

movement of corn line GA21 or its

progeny. However, importation of the

subject corn line or seeds capable of

propagation is still subject to the

restrictions found in APHIS’ foreign

quarantine notices in 7 CFR part 319.

National Environmental Policy Act

An environmental assessment (EA)

has been prepared to examine the

potential environmental impacts

associated with this determination. 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 that EA, APHIS has

reached a finding of no significant

impact (FONSI) with regard to its

determination that the Monsanto/Dekalb

corn line GA21 and lines developed

from it are no longer regulated articles

under its regulations in 7 CFR part 340.

Copies of the EA and the FONSI are

available upon request from the

individual listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

0034.

Type of Request: Extension of a

estimates the burden hours required by

the public to gather, prepare, and

foreign country. Regulations permit

applicants to petition to have secrecy

orders rescinded or modified or to

reconsider a request for a license to

submit a patent application abroad. This

collection includes that information

needed by PTO to review and decide

such requests.

Affected Public: Individuals,

businesses or other for-profit
