Dear BRS Stakeholder:
 
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection 
Service (APHIS) today announced the availability of the final environmental 
impact statement (EIS) that evaluates the potential environmental effects of 
deregulating alfalfa genetically engineered (GE) to be resistant to the 
herbicide glyphosate, known commercially as Roundup®.  This GE alfalfa is 
commonly referred to as Roundup Ready® (RR) alfalfa.
 
A copy of the press release can be found on the News and Information page 
of the BRS website at: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/biotechnology/news.shtml
 
You can also learn more about GE alfalfa and view a copy of the final EIS, 
and other associated documents at:
