II. Did EPA Approve the Application? 

The Agency approved the application 

after considering all required data on 

risks associated with the proposed uses 

of Bacillus thuringiensis var. aizawai 

strain PS811 Cry1F insecticidal crystal 

protein and the genetic material 

necessary for its production (plasmid 

insert PHP12537) in Event DAS-06275–

8 corn, and Bacillus thuringiensis var. 

aizawai strain NB 200, and information 

on social, economic, and environmental 

benefits to be derived from using them. 

Specifically, the Agency has considered 

the nature of the chemicals and their 

patterns of use, application methods 

and rates, and level and extent of 

potential exposure. Based on these 

reviews, the Agency was able to make 

basic health and safety determinations 

which show that uses of Bacillus 

thuringiensis var. aizawai strain PS811 

Cry1F insecticidal crystal protein and 

the genetic material necessary for its 

production (plasmid insert PHP12537) 

in Event DAS-06275–8 corn, and 

Bacillus thuringiensis var. aizawai 

strain NB 200 when used in accordance 

with widespread and commonly 

recognized practice, will not generally 

cause unreasonable adverse effects on 

the environment. 

III. Approved Application 

1. EPA issued a notice, published in 

the Federal Register of September 1, 

2004 (69 FR 53432) (FRL–7370–3),

The Agency received one public 

comment in response to the September

DAS-06275-8 corn, based on 

unspecified environmental and human 

health effects associated with 

genetically modified crops. The Agency 

understands the commenter’s concerns. 

Pursuant to its authority under the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act, EPA conducted an 

assessment of this plant-incorporated 

protectant and concluded that it will 

pose no unreasonable adverse effects to 

human health or the environment. 

This application was approved on 

May 27, 2005, as Mycogen Brand B.t.
