摘要

Environmentalists are raising concerns that EPA's recent proposal to halt testing in the food supply for the presence of StarLink com— a controversial, genetically modified (GM) industrial variety that caused widespread contamination of the food supply — could ease regulatory approval for another GM corn intended to boost ethanol production. At the same time, EPA is beginning to review the potential air and water impacts of bioengineered ethanol and other GM biofuel crops as part of a newly launched biofuels strategy, agency sources say. One EPA headquarters source working on the agency's biofuels strategy says EPA is putting together an inventory of the agency's work on GM biofuels. Additionally a Region V source says the region is "gaining significant interest" in the GM biofuel issue and will "try to get a handle on" any air and water impacts, but that it will be some time before anything is publicly available.
