SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Use of Genome Editing Techniques To Produce New Plant Varieties Used
for Human or Animal Food

    Recently, new technologies have emerged that are intended to alter
the genomes of various organisms, including plants. FDA is aware that
these technologies make it easier for plant developers to produce new
plant varieties with targeted genetic modifications. Using
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence information from a plant, plant
breeders can make targeted changes to a plant's DNA sequence to alter
expression of traits in the plant. These new methods include processes
using targeted nucleases (clustered regulatory interspersed short
palindromic repeat associated nucleases, zinc-finger nucleases,
meganucleases, and transcription activator-like effector nucleases or
targeted oligonucleotides (oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis)
intended to modify a plant's DNA sequence by insertion, deletion, or
substitution of nucleotides at a specific site in a plant's genome. The
process of producing these targeted DNA sequence alterations is often
referred to as ``genome editing.''
    In the National Strategy for Modernizing the Regulatory System for
Biotechnology Products (the Strategy; released by the White House
Office of Science and Technology Policy on September 16, 2016),\1\ FDA
noted its intent to clarify its policy for the regulation of products
derived from genome editing techniques, including, as appropriate,
identifying and/or updating relevant existing guidance documents.
Consistent with this commitment in the Strategy document, FDA is
opening this docket to inform its thinking on foods derived from plants
produced using genome editing techniques. FDA also looks forward to
receiving the results from the study being conducted by the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine entitled ``Future
Biotechnology Products and Opportunities to Enhance Capabilities of the
Biotechnology Regulatory System'' commissioned under the Update to the
Coordinated Framework for Regulation of Biotechnology, available at
http://nas-sites.org/biotech/ biotech/. As we consider this issue, we intend
for our actions to be guided by the principles for the regulation of
biotechnology products articulated in the 2017 Update to the
Coordinated Framework (https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/2017_coordinated_framework_update.pdf) and the goals
and objectives of the July 2015 EOP memorandum (https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/modernizing_the_reg_system_for_biotech_products_memo_final.pdf).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/biotech_national_strategy_final.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Producers of foods from plant varieties developed using genome
editing techniques, like all food producers, have an obligation under
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) to ensure that
the foods they offer consumers are safe and in compliance with
applicable legal requirements (57 FR 22984 at 22985), available at
http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocumentsRegulatoryInformation/Biotechnology/ucm096095.htm. The
FD&C Act gives FDA broad authority to initiate legal action against a
food that is adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the
statute (id.). In 1992, FDA issued a statement of policy (57 FR 22984)
that discussed scientific issues and provided guidance relevant to the
safety assessment of foods derived from new plant varieties derived by
traditional methods, tissue culture methods, and recombinant DNA
methods (57 FR 22984 at 22991). The guidance provided in the 1992
policy has helped to ensure that developers of new plant varieties make
market entry decisions consistent with the FD&C Act. FDA also explained
that we have long regarded it to be a prudent practice for producers of
foods using new technologies to work cooperatively with us to ensure
that the new products are safe and comply with applicable legal
requirements (57 FR 22984 at 22991). Over the past 20 years, developers
have routinely consulted FDA about the safety and legality of foods
from new genetically engineered plant varieties prior to marketing.
These consultations have relied on the objective characteristics of
foods to consider their safety and legality prior to marketing. This
process has worked well and has helped developers ensure that all
safety and other legal issues are satisfactorily addressed prior to
market entry of foods derived from these new varieties. FDA intends to
continue offering consultations for developers of new plant varieties,
including those produced using genome editing, in order to help
developers ensure that applicable safety and legal questions are
resolved prior to market. In addition to the information we anticipate
gathering from developers in the course of consultations, we recognize
that developers, researchers, and other stakeholders may have valuable
factual information and data about foods derived from new plant
varieties produced using genome editing, which can help inform FDA's
thinking for these specific products. Therefore, we invite comment in
this notice.

II. Additional Issues for Consideration and Invitation for Comment:
Genome Editing in Plants

    To help inform our thinking on foods derived from new plant
varieties produced using genome editing, we invite comment on the
following questions:
    1. In what ways are the food safety risks associated with human and
animal foods from genome edited plants the same as or different from
those associated with other plant development methods (e.g.,
hybridization, chemical or radiation-induced mutagenesis and non-
targeted genetic modifications using in vitro recombinant DNA
technologies)? Please provide data and/or information to support your
view.
     To what extent is the scientific knowledge of and
experience with current new plant varieties (such as those developed
with in vitro recombinant DNA technologies that have gone through the
voluntary consultation process) relevant to the safety assessment and
regulatory status of food from new plant varieties produced using
genome editing? Is there additional scientific knowledge that would be
relevant specifically to the safety assessment and regulatory status of
new plant varieties produced using genome editing? Please provide data
and/or information to support your view.

    2. Are there categories of genome edited plant varieties for which
there are scientific bases to conclude that foods from such categories
are unlikely to present food safety risks different from or greater
than those for traditional plant breeding? Similarly, are there
categories of genome edited plant varieties for which the regulatory
status of the food derived from such plant varieties can be said to be
no different from that of traditionally-bred plants? If there are such
categories, is there a basis upon which to determine that there would
be no reason to include them in any voluntary premarket consultation
process? If so, please describe the characteristics of such categories
(including, for example, information about the types of phenotypes and
modifications (insertions, deletions or substitutions) achieved through
genome editing) and provide data and/or information for why plant
varieties in these categories are unlikely to present food safety risks
or regulatory status questions. Regulatory status questions may
include, for example, whether food from the new plant variety contains
an unapproved food or color additive such that premarket review and
approval is required (see sections 409 and 721 of the FD&C Act). As
another example, if food from the new plant variety has a different
nutritional profile from food from traditionally-bred plants, then
certain labeling may be required to disclose a material change in the
food.
    a. If such categories exist, how do plant developers ensure the
safety of foods from new plant varieties in these categories? For
example, how are safety assessments of foods from these varieties
accomplished, and what data and information are or should be considered
in such assessments?
    b. If certain categories of genome edited plants do not raise
questions of safety or regulatory status, should there nevertheless be
a mechanism separate from the voluntary premarket consultation process
through which plant developers may voluntarily notify FDA about their
intent to market a food derived from a genome edited new plant variety
that falls within these categories? If so, what process should plant
developers use to notify FDA? What kind of information should be
included in such a notification to FDA?
    c. Given that genome editing techniques can give rise to a broad
range of plant modifications, from simple gene deletions to totally
novel genes, and that some such modifications can be achieved through
traditional breeding, please discuss the basis upon which to determine
that there would or would not be a reason to include, in any voluntary
premarket consultation process, foods from genome edited crops with
modifications that could have been achieved through traditional
breeding.
    3. Are there categories of genome edited plant varieties for which
there are scientific bases to conclude that foods from these categories
are more likely than traditionally-bred plants to present food safety
risks? If so, please describe the characteristics of these categories
(including, for example, information about the types of phenotypes and
modifications (insertions, deletions or substitutions) achieved through
genome editing) and provide data and/or information to support why
plant varieties in these categories are more likely to present food
safety risks than traditionally-bred plants.
    4. What steps can we take to help small firms, including those who
may be considering using genome editing to produce new plant varieties
for use in human or animal food, to engage with FDA about any questions
related to food safety or the regulatory status of foods from their new
plant varieties? Please provide supporting data and other information
to support your comments and responses to this question.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, Inc.
Model DHC-8-102, -103, -106, -201, -202, -301, -311, and -315
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on October 2,
2013 (78 FR 60800). The NPRM was prompted by results from fuel system
reviews conducted by the manufacturer. The NPRM proposed to require
accomplishing modifications to the fuel system. We are issuing this AD
to prevent the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which,
in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank
explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2013-07, dated March 1, 2013 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    Bombardier Aerospace has completed a system safety review of the
aeroplane fuel system against fuel tank safety standards * * *. The
identified non-compliances were then assessed * * * to determine if
mandatory corrective action is required.
    The assessment showed that a number of modifications to the fuel
system are required to mitigate unsafe conditions that could result
in potential ignition sources within the fuel system.
* * * * *

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2013-0835-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (78 FR 60800, October 2,
2013) or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (78 FR 60800, October 2, 2013) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 60800, October 2, 2013).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 94 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 519 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $58,924 per
product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on
U.S. operators to be $9,685,666, or $103,039 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=FAA-2013-0835; or in person at the
Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through

regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information.
