But EPA has not waited for the field data. Indeed, the authors deleted CBI forty times in the 55-page document. In summary, because the agency has yet to collect the data needed for a comprehensive evaluation and is withholding a substantial portion of the data that it has received, we request a deferral of the upcoming SAP session on the effects of Bt crops on butterflies.
