In the March 4, 2015, Federal Register, USDA's APHIS withdrew an October 9, 2008, proposed rule that would have changed the federal government's approach toward agricultural biotechnology. APHIS is withdrawing the rule in light of continuing advances in biotechnology and comments received on the rule. APHIS intends to engage new stakeholders in an effort to explore alternative policy approaches, beginning with a series of webinars that will allow stakeholders to provide initial feedback. Information on these webinars will be announced soon.
