b. The plot will be located in an area under the control of 
Agracetus and not in an area of commercial tobacco 
production. 
c. Agracetus will not disclose publicly the plot location, nor will 
it label the area in such a way that anyone unfamiliar with 
the trial could determine that any of the plants were 
genetically altered. Location of the experimental tobacco 
within the plot will be a confidential record with Agracetus 
and will not be indicated in the plot area. 
53 Effect of Alternatives 
53 . 1 Approval of Proposal of May 5 , 1983 
The original proposal of May 5 , 1983, was more extensive than 
that considered in Section 4.1 in that the field test would include 
cotton, soybean, corn, tomato and potato in addition to tobacco. 
Expanding the tests to additional crops would increase the number 
of test sites needed which would also increase the possibility for 
the release of pollen from genetically engineered plants. In 
addition, the logistics of monitoring test sites for six crops would 
be more difficult.
