II. Background 

BCS has requested an EUP, 264–EUP–

RUG, to allow for the evaluation of 

cotton plants that produce the 

insecticidal protein, Bacillus 

thuringiensis Cry2Ae, as well as cotton 

plants that produce two insecticidal 

proteins, Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ab 

and Cry2Ae, for protection against 

lepidopteran cotton pests. For 2008, the 

proposed acreage includes 94.75 acres 

of Events GHB119 and/or GHB714, 

138.75 acres of Events T303–3 and/or 

T304–40 cotton plants and Events 

GHB119 and/or GHB714 cotton plants, 

and 434.50 acres of non plantincorporated protectant border areas 

(688 total acres). Cotton derived from 

transformation events T303–3 or T304–

40 express the plant-incorporated 

protectant, Bacillus thuringiensis 

Cry1Ab protein (pTDL004 or pTDL008) 

and the genetic material necessary for 

its production were included in the 

previously granted EUP, 264–EUP–140. 

Cotton events GHB119 or GHB714 

express the plant-incorporated 

protectant, Bacillus thuringiensis 

Cry2Ae protein (pTEM12) and the 

genetic material necessary for its 

production. These plants also contain a 

pesticidal inert ingredient as a 

selectable marker, the phosphinothricin 

acetyltransferase (PAT) protein that 

confers tolerance to glufosinateammonium herbicides. 

The Cry1Ab and Cry2Ae proteins are 

being tested for their effectiveness in 

controlling the following lepidopteran 

cotton pests: Cotton bollworm 

(Helicoverpa zea), tobacco budworm 

(Heliothis virescens), pink bollworm 

(Pectinophora gossypiella), fall 

armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), and 

beet armyworm (Spodoptera exigua). 

Four trial protocols have been 

proposed: 

• Introgression (nurseries), evaluation 

(line trials), and seed increases. 

• Evaluation of the insecticidal 

efficacy against cotton insect pests, 

under different degrees of insect 

pressure, in different growing 

environments and in different genetic 

backgrounds. 

• Evaluation of the agronomic 

performance in different genetic 

backgrounds and in different growing 

regions. 

• Generation of plant material and 

data to support future regulatory 

submissions in the United States and 

other countries. 

The states involved in the proposed 

EUP include: Mississippi, North 

Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, 

and Texas. Proposed shipment/use 

dates are March 1, 2008 to January 31, 

2009. 

III. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Following the review of the BCS 

application and any comments and data 

received in response to this notice, EPA 

will decide whether to issue or deny the 

EUP request for this EUP program, and 

if issued, the conditions under which it 

is to be conducted. Any issuance of an 

EUP will be announced in the Federal 

Register. 

IV. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

The Agency’s authority for taking this 

action is under FIFRA section 5.
