Sec. 180.1247  Bacillus thuringiensis VIP3A protein and the genetic 

material necessary for its production in cotton is exempt from the 
requirement of a tolerance.

    Bacillus thuringiensis VIP3A protein and the genetic material 
necessary for its production in cotton is exempt from the requirement of 
a tolerance when used as a vegetative-insecticidal protein in the food 
and feed commodities, cotton seed, cotton oil, cotton meal, cotton hay, 
cotton hulls, cotton forage, and cotton gin byproducts. Genetic material 
necessary for its production means the genetic material which comprise 
genetic encoding the VIP3A protein and its regulatory regions. 
Regulatory regions are the genetic material, such as promoters,

the requirement of a tolerance expires May 1, 2005.
