Application

permit
524­
EUP­
93;
request
for
extension
Dear
Mr.
Szuhay:

Please
find
enclosed
an
application
to
amend
and
extend
the
Experimental
Use
Permit
for
Corn
Event
MON
863
(
524­
EUP­
93).
This
application
replaces
our
previous
application,
dated
December
11,
2002.
Since
our
December
application
was
submitted,
EPA
granted
a
Section
3
registration
for
Corn
Event
MON
863
(
524­
528).
However,
an
extension
of
524­
EUP­
93
is
still
needed
in
order
for
Monsanto
to
continue
development
work
on
combined
insecticidal
trait
hybrids
created
by
crossing
MON
863
corn
lines
to
other
lines
containing
registered
plant­
incorporated
protectants.
Since
this
EUP
is
not
needed
for
further
testing
of
just
MON
863,
we
have
revised
the
requested
acreage
downward.

Enclosed

this
