Therefore, the requirements pertaining

to regulated articles under those

regulations no longer apply to the field

testing, importation, or interstate

movement of Pioneer’s corn lines 676,

678, or 680 or their progeny. However,

the importation of the subject corn lines

or seeds capable of propagation are still

APHIS’ foreign quarantine notices in 7

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 Pioneer’s corn lines

676, 678, and 680 and lines developed

from them 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.
