About this statute

This article says the Order sets the rules for applying for permits for living modified organism activities. This article defines key terms used in the Order, including “Authority,” “labelling,” and “novel genetic material.” An applicant seeking a permit for contained use or confined field trials of a living modified organism must establish an Institutional Biosafety Committee in line with Authority guidelines. The applicant must appoint a principal investigator, and that investigator must oversee safety, submit research reports, implement mitigation and emergency measures, report incidents immediately, and notify the Authority before first using a contained-use facility. A person seeking confined field trials must apply in writing to the Authority for a permit and use the prescribed form.
