GM sugar beets take another step toward deregulation
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service issued a statement of project impact on the environment that evaluates the potential environmental effects if the agency grants unregulated status of sugar beets genetically modified to be resistant to the herbicide glyphosate, marketed as Roundup. The genetically modified sugar beets are commonly known as Roundup Ready sugar beets.
In the draft statement, three alternatives were considered by USDA: deny the petition for non-regulated status; approve the non-regulated status petition; or extend the current partial deregulation with mandatory conditions and restrictions.
The impact statement also identifies full non-regulated status as the preferred alternative, since USDA determined that the genetically engineered sugar beet is unlikely to pose a plant pest risk.
The draft statement was prepared to comply with a September 2009 judgment and order by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, which stated that USDA should have prepared an impact statement before it originally decided in 2005 to grant non-regulated status for the genetically engineered sugar beets.
