response to the January 26, 2011, notice 

of receipt in the Federal Register, 76 FR 

4683, FRL–8856–2. 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.
