Extractions: IN THE UNITED STATES The United States has more than a decade of experience in regulating bioengineered foods. About 50 varieties of bioengineered food crops have gone through the U.S. government regulatory procedures, and thousands of foods containing ingredients from these bioengineered crops are currently on the U.S. market. This fact sheet outlines the five regulatory procedures that occur from the time a scientist has an idea for a potentially marketable bioengineered plant product to when the product finally ends up in the local food market. PRE-SUBMISSION DISCUSSIONS Biotech regulation at the federal level starts as the product nears the first field test after development in the laboratory. Early in the process, the developer of a new plant line discusses the product with the three regulatory agencies to determine the kinds of data and information that will be necessary to support the regulatory review. While not required, these pre-submission consultations are strongly encouraged so as to avoid problems and delays later. FIELD TRIALS APPROVALS To satisfy USDA-APHIS regulatory requirements, a field test must be conducted in such a way that neither the genetically engineered plant nor its offspring establishes or survives beyond the field trial in either the agricultural or nonagricultural environment. Specific precautions must be taken to prevent the escape of pollen, plants, or plant parts from the field-test site. The field-test plot must be monitored the following year to assure that no "volunteer" plants survive and grow on the plot. In addition, once USDA-APHIS approves a new biotechnology-derived plant for field testing, agency officials and their state counterparts may inspect the field-test site before, during, and after a test to ensure that the test is conducted and managed safely.

Extractions: www.usda.gov Ann M. Veneman was sworn in as the 27th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on January 20, 2001. Her lifelong commitment to food and farm issues, along with her bipartisan approach to solving problems and confronting new challenges, are reasons that explain why she was chosen by President George W. Bush to serve in his Cabinet and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Growing up on a family farm in a small rural community, Ann Veneman understands well the issues important to America's farmers and ranchers. She has spent much of her career dedicated to food and agriculture issues and advancing sound U.S. farm and food policies. President Bush has often said that the spirit of the American farmer is emblematic of the spirit of America, signifying the values of hard work, faith and entrepreneurship. Secretary Veneman believes strongly in these principles and since taking office, has worked to foster economic opportunities for farmers and ranchers, ensure a safe and wholesome food supply, protect agriculture against pests and diseases, encourage conservation and environmental stewardship, invest in rural communities, and support the next generation of agricultural leaders through new educational opportunities.
