Title: ●Exemption for Plant Virus Derived Plant-Incorporated Protectants (PVCP-PIPs) in Hawaiian Papaya Line 55-1 and Squash Lines CZW-3 and ZW-20 
Abstract: EPA is developing a proposal for a specific exemption from regulation under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) for two squash lines (CZW-3 and ZW-20) and for the Hawaiian papaya line 55-1. There is a long history of humans using foods containing plant-incorporated protectants. Virus infected plants have always been a part of the natural environment, and organisms that interact with plants have likely been exposed to plant virus coat proteins over long periods of time. EPA is developing this proposed exemption because the Agency, which has completed a review of the data, believes that the PVCP-PIPs covered by this exemption (Squash line CZW-3, Squash line ZW-20 and Hawaiian papaya line 55-1) meet the criteria in 40 CFR 174.21 and can be exempt from the requirements of FIFRA.
