SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

EPA has received an application from

Monsanto Company of St. Louis

Missouri for an experimental use permit

(EUP). This EUP application is assigned

EUP No. 524-EUP-II. The proposed

experiment involves the field testing of

the transgenic plant-pesticide CryIA(c)

expressed in tomato plant cells. The

program will involve field testing of a

maximum of 500 acres of transgenic

plantings in California, Florida, Georgia,

and Puerto Rico. CryIA(c) is currently

registered for use on cotton (EPA

registration number 524–478). CryIA(c)

is currently exempted from the

requirements of a tolerance under 40

CFR 180.1154 and 180.1155; therefore, a

tolerance exemption is not needed for

this product.

Testing will be conducted in the

following states: California, Florida,

Georgia, and Puerto Rico. The purpose

of this EUP is to test the efficacy of this

active ingredient against target pests,

conduct research for the better

understanding of resistance

management, development of IPM

logistics, evaluate agronomic

performance and continue plant

breeding activities, and test marking

potential of the fruit. The total acreage

testing will be no more than 500, and

only a maximum of 138.9 grams of the

active ingredient CryIA(c) will be

shipped, in the form of tomato seed

and/or transplants.

Plantings grown for agronomic

evaluation will be sold to processors.

Seeds will be saved for future research

or planting by Monsanto.
