Will the plant-incorporated protectants rules affect the Bt reassessment?

No. To make sure that our biotechnology assessments reflect the latest data on health and ecological effects, EPA is in the method of reviewing currently registered genetically modified plants expressing Bacillus thuringensis (Bt) products.  As products are categorized as plant-incorporated protectants and are registered under FIFRA.  All Bt plant-incorporated protectants have already been assessed on a case-by-case basis; therefore, the plant-incorporated protectant rules will not affect current registration of Bt products.
