The Agency has since identified several risk factors that likely underlie these cases of resistance as well as several challenges with monitoring and confirming resistance that delayed detection and reporting of resistance.

Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 13 ED 002061 00014039-00001 I'm curious about the decision to convene this panel - is there a particular study or other event that has prompted EPA to take this step? Or is it simply something that happens periodically to review the state of Bt resistance and consider any changes that may be needed to improve pest management and delay resistance? Some other motivation? Thanks for any assistance you can offer, Atidre_w_jnnr_____ i Ex. 6 alqehhef TOt'h Robert DaguUIard U S. EPA ' Office of Media Relations Washington D.C. Ex. 6 22-564-66T81S....
