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:

If you would like to provide any remarks, please submit them to:
biotechquery@aphis.usda.gov
or call 1-301-851-2300.
