EPA, FDA, and USDA Release Regulatory Roadmap for Biotech Developers

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are releasing a new web-based tool on the Unified Website for Biotechnology Regulation for companies that develop microbial biotechnology products. 
 
The tool provides users, through a series of prompts, with information on regulatory requirements for biotechnology products developed using genetically modified microorganisms and the approval process across agencies. Biotechnology products include plants, animals, and microorganisms developed through genetic engineering or the targeted manipulation of genetic information.
