Title: Sharing Confidential Business Information With Government Agencies Regarding the Introduction of Genetically Engineered Organisms and Products
Abstract: This action would amend our regulations regarding genetically engineered organisms to add provisions concerning the sharing of confidential business information (CBI) with authorized officials of State, tribal, and Federal Government agencies. The proposed provisions would create mechanisms for sharing CBI submitted under the regulations pursuant to a permit application or notification. This action is necessary to facilitate interagency communication and cooperation, to increase the transparency of regulatory decisionmaking, and to maintain rigorous and appropriate regulation of genetically engineered organisms.
