SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In a notice1 published in the Federal 

Register on September 2, 2009 (74 FR 

45413-45415, Docket No. APHIS-2007- 

0156), the Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS) announced 

the availability of a petition from 

Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., 

seeking a determination of nonregulated 

status for soybean designated as 

transformation event 305423, which has 

been genetically engineered to have 

higher levels of oleic acid and lower 

levels of linoleic and linolenic acids in 

their oil. In that notice, we indicated to 

the public that the petition, a draft 

environmental assessment, and a plant 

pest risk assessment were available on 

the Internet, in our Agency reading 

room, and from the person listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

Due to an Agency oversight, an 

incorrect version of the Pioneer petition 

was originally posted on the Internet for 

review and comment. With this notice, 

we are advising the public that the 

correct version of the petition has been 

posted and is available for review and 

comment. We are also extending the 

comment period for the petition, the 

draft environmental assessment, and the 

plant pest risk assessment in order to 

provide the public a full 60 days to 

consider the petition for determination 

of nonregulated status and the 

supporting documents associated with 

that petition. This action will allow 

interested persons additional time to 

prepare and submit comments. 

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 and draft environmental 

assessment will be available for public 

review. After reviewing and evaluating 

the comments on the petition, draft 

environmental 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 

Pioneer’s 305423 soybean and the 

availability of APHIS’ written decision.

day of October 2009.
