I wouild like to strongly support the EPA's proposal to collectd ENM data under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act since this statute provides the most efficient and effective way to gather data for both pre-market safety and assessment and post-market surveilllance of ENMs in pesticides. I hope that EPA will determine which part of the submitted information and test data must be made public so that peer-reviewed studies of the data to assess public and environmental health effects. EPA shluld make a public determination about each nonotech developer claim that information and data should be classified as Confidential Business information, exempt from public view to insure that the public has access to all relevant informaiotn necessary to the protection of the public interest. All too many unintended consequences have been allowed to harm our environment and our public good to further risk such harms by this new technology.
