If u find link to actual rider, I would like to read it. Even if approved, it can't enter grain market until European and Asian unions OK it
From the article:
"You can read the rider for yourself, which begins on page 86, Sec. 733 of the following document:
http://appropriations.house.gov ->
http://appropriations.house.gov/uploadedfiles/bills-112hr-fc-ap-fy13-agriculture.pdf "
It says
"SEC. 733. In the event that a determination of non-
14 regulated status made pursuant to section 411 of the
15 Plant Protection Act is or has been invalidated or vacated,
16 the Secretary of Agriculture shall, notwithstanding any
17 other provision of law, upon request by a farmer, grower,
18 farm operator, or producer, immediately grant temporary
19 permit(s) or temporary deregulation in part, subject to
20 necessary and appropriate conditions consistent with sec-
21 tion 411(a) or 412(c) of the Plant Protection Act, which
22 interim conditions shall authorize the movement, introduc-
23 tion, continued cultivation, commercialization and other
24 specifically enumerated activities and requirements, in-
25 cluding measures designed to mitigate or minimize poten-
tial adverse environmental effects, if any, relevant to the
2 Secretarys evaluation of the petition for non-regulated
3 status, while ensuring that growers or other users are able
4 to move, plant, cultivate, introduce into commerce and
5 carry out other authorized activities in a timely manner:
6 Provided, That all such conditions shall be applicable only
7 for the interim period necessary for the Secretary to com-
8 plete any required analyses or consultations related to the
9 petition for non-regulated status: Provided further, That
10 nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting the
11 Secretary s authority under section 411, 412 and 414 of
12 the Plant Protection Act."
