In the United States, biotechnologies are regulated as products under existing laws through the U.S. Coordinated Framework for Biotechnology. The three primary agencies with regulatory responsibilities for biotechnologies are the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
