“See attached file(s) Pesticides; Exemptions of Certain Plant-Incorporated Protectants Derived from Newer Technologies Docket ID: EPA-HQ-OPP-2019-0508 Don't open a GMO loophole! The use of genetic engineering techniques — like gene-editing — to artificially generate potentially hazardous levels of such toxins creates food safety hazards that require EPA regulation. We urge the EPA to withdraw its proposal to exempt plant-incorporated protectants based on sexually compatible plants created through biotechnology from regulation. Failure to do so could put the public at risk.”
