II. Background

A. Purpose of the Meeting

On October 25, 2000, Aventis

CropScience USA, LP (Aventis)

submitted new information in support

of its petition (PP 9F5050) (PF–867B) for

an exemption from the requirement of a

tolerance for the genetically engineered

‘‘plant-pesticide’’ in StarLink corn

plant-pesticide in Bacillus thuringiensis

subsp. tolworthi Cry9c protein and the

genetic material (DNA) necessary for the

production of this protein. While the

original petition requested an

exemption covering both the DNA and

Cry9C protein in all food commodities,

this submission limits the request only

to foods made from StarLink corn. The

Aventis submission specifically

addresses the potential allergenicity of

the Cry9C protein that may be present

in human food made from StarLink

corn, a line of genetically modified corn

developed by Aventis.

On October 31, 2000, EPA issued a

Notice in the Federal Register

announcing receipt of the Aventis

submission and the opportunity for the

public to comment on the submission

(65 FR 65245) (FRL–6754–3). This

notice also indicated that EPA intended

to hold a public meeting of a group of

external independent scientists to

conduct a peer review of scientific

issues raised by the Aventis submission.

Today’s notice announces the date,

location and purpose of that public

meeting, topics for discussion and

provides additional information of the

procedures that will be used in this

meeting. This will be a 1–day meeting

of the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel.

The purpose of this FIFRA SAP meeting

is to consider the potential allergenicity,

sensitization and dietary exposure of

Starlink corn.

B. Panel Report

The Agency anticipates that the

Panel’s report of their recommendations

will be available as soon as possible but

no later than December 1, 2000. The

Panel’s report will be posted on the

FIFRA SAP web site or may be obtained

by contacting the Public Information

and Records Integrity Branch at the

address or telephone number listed in

Unit I. of this document.
