I am writting in favor of deregulation of LLRICE601,APHIS Docket No APHIS-206- 0140. The gene transfer methods used to create LLRICE601 have already been used and approved by APHIS. This technology will reduce use of herbicides,scientific studies have shown LLRICE601 is safe for human consumption and it is nearly indenticial to LLRICE06 and LLRICE62. All objections to its should be based on scientific evidence and studies. It is way past time for this technology to be accepted!
