Regulation of Genetically Engineered Animals
Through the authority of the Animal Health Protection Act, APHIS has a significant role in the regulation of the health and movement of genetically engineered animals. As part of an interagency initiative being led by the White House, APHIS is working to define its role in the regulation of genetically engineered animals.
In 2007, BRS established an Animals Branch to develop a regulatory framework for the possible regulation of genetically engineered animals. As a first step in this process, the Animals Branch is drafting an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) for publication in the Federal Register. The ANPR will help APHIS gather additional input on this issue.
