Plant Pest Risk Assessment for Pioneer 4114 Maize
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. (referred to as “Pioneer” hereafter) has petitioned APHIS (USDA-APHIS Petition Number #11-244-01p, referred to as “Petition”) for a determination that genetically engineered (GE) corn (Zea mays) event DP-ØØ4114-3 (referred to as “4114 maize” or “4114”) is unlikely to pose a plant pest risk and, therefore, is no longer a regulated article under regulations at 7 CFR part 340. APHIS administers 7 CFR part 340 under the authority of the plant pest provisions of the Plant Protection Act of 2001. This plant pest risk assessment was conducted to determine whether event DP-ØØ4114-3 maize is unlikely to pose a plant pest risk.
