USDA has forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) what is being labeled a pre-rule on regulations covering the movement of animals that are modified or produced by genetic engineering.
The rule was sent to OMB November 25 and there is no statutory deadline for the item and it is not clear yet what direction USDA plans to head on the topic.
Plus, given that it is not even in the proposed rule stage, the issue could well be finalized by the incoming Biden administration.
