Sec. 174.71  Submission of information regarding adverse effects.


    (a) Any person who produces, for sale or distribution, a plant-
incorporated protectant exempt under subpart B of this part, who obtains 
any information regarding adverse effects on human health or the 
environment alleged to have been caused by the plant-incorporated 
protectant must submit such information to EPA. This requirement does 
not apply to any person who does not produce a plant-incorporated 
protectant exempt under supart B of this part. This may include, for 
example, researchers performing field experiments, breeders making 
crosses among plant varieties with the goal of developing new plant 
varieties, or a person who only sells propagative materials (e.g., seed) 
to farmers without producing the propagative materials themselves. EPA 
must receive the report within 30 calendar days of the date the producer 
first possesses or knows of the information.
    (b) Adverse effects on human health or the environment for purposes 
of plant-incorporated protectant means at a minimum information about 
incidents affecting humans or other nontarget organisms where both:
    (1) The producer is aware, or has been informed, that a person or 
nontarget organism allegedly suffered a toxic or adverse effect due to 
exposure to (e.g., ingestion of) a plant-incorporated protectant.
    (2) The producer has or could reasonably obtain information 
concerning where the incident occurred.
    (c) All of the following information, if available, must be included 
in a report.
    (1) Name of reporter, address, and telephone number.
    (2) Name, address, and telephone of contact person (if different 
than reporter).
    (3) Description of incident.
