A joint-agency venture launched the Unified Website for Biotechnology Regulation Thursday.
The Department of Agriculture, Food and Drug Administration and Environmental Protection Agency announced the website, which streamlines information about the three regulatory agencies charged with overseeing agriculture biotechnology products.
The Unified Website for Biotechnology Regulation describes the federal review process for certain biotechnology products and allows users to submit questions to the three agencies.
The goals of the website are to provide enhanced customer service to innovators and developers, while ensuring Americans continue to enjoy the safest and most affordable food supply in the world and can learn more about the safe use of biotechnology innovations.
The website is part of President Donald Trump’s Executive Order on Modernizing the Regulatory Framework for Agricultural Biotechnology Products.
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue says the website is “proof of President Trump’s commitment to provide the American people with sensible regulations in a clear and transparent manner.”
