The quantity authorized equates to 68,066 pounds of corn seed
[containing 62 grams (0.137 pounds) of Cry1F protein, 787 grams (1.74
pounds) of Cry34Ab1 and Cry35Ab1 proteins, 27 grams (0.060 pounds) of
Cry1Ab protein, 347 grams (0.765 pounds) of Vip3Aa20 protein, and 11
grams (0.024 pounds) of mCry3A protein] on 4,126 acres. The program is
authorized only in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the States of
