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
