SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

regulations in 7 CFR part 340,

‘‘Introduction of Organisms and

Products Altered or Produced Through

Genetic Engineering Which Are Plant

Pests or Which There Is Reason to

Believe Are Plant Pests,’’ require that a

person obtain a permit before

introducing (importing, moving

interstate, or releasing into the

environment) into the United States

certain genetically engineered

organisms and products that are

considered ‘‘regulated articles.’’ The

regulations set forth procedures for

obtaining a permit for the release into

the environment of a regulated article,

and for obtaining a limited permit for

the importation or interstate movement

of a regulated article.

Pursuant to these regulations, the

Animal and Plant Health Inspection

Service has received and is reviewing

the following applications for permits to

release genetically engineered

organisms into the environment:
