One comment was received from an anonymous individual who objected in general terms to EPA granting this experimental use permit with Bacillus thuringiensis-based plantincorporated protectants claiming that insufficient safety testing has been required. The Agency understands that some individuals are opposed to all biotechnology based pesticide use. Pursuant to section 5 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, EPA may issue a permit for experimental use of a pesticide if the Agency determines that such experimental use may be conducted in such a manner as to not result in unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. EPA has conducted a comprehensive analysis of data and information related to the requested experimental uses and, based on that analysis, EPA has determined that the experimental uses, if conducted in accordance with the terms of the permit, will not result in unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.
