The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) greatly value our partnerships with Tribal Nations and communities. Earlier this year, APHIS wrote to inform you of a public review and comment period for an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) regarding whether to establish regulation for the movement of certain animals modified or developed using genetic engineering.  We invite you and your staff members to participate in an Animal Biotechnology Listening Session on Monday, December 13, 2021, at 1:00 pm EST. Below is the webinar link for the meeting and registration link. If you have any questions, reach out to (denise.salvetti@usda.gov) or Dr. Terry Clark (terry.w.clark@usda.gov).
