APHIS February 9, 2010 Public Meeting on Genetically Engineered Roundup Ready Alfalfa Draft EIS is Postponed

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) today announced that due to the continuing recovery efforts from this past weekend's historical snow fall and the pending inclement weather to begin the afternoon of February 9, 2010, that the public meeting scheduled for February 9, 2010 to be held in the Conference Center in Riverdale, Maryland has been postponed until the week of February 15, 2010. The purpose of the meeting was to give the public an opportunity to provide input on the Agency's draft Environmental Impact Statement on genetically engineered Roundup Ready alfalfa. Details about the new date and time will be announced by the Agency in the next couple of days. We will post updated information about the meeting on the APHIS web site shortly at: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/biotechnology/alfalfa.shtml.
