21. It appears, however, that the research referenced by Dr Ingham has
never been in front of the relevant authorities in the United States.
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) database and the
ISB database (Information Systems for Biotechnology) have no mention
of any field trial application or granted approval relating to any
Klebsiella planticola research. No specific citations of docket
numbers or other proof of assertion have been offered by Dr Ingham.

22. Moreover, correspondence from Dr Janet Anderson (EPA, Environment
Protection Agency), and Dr Sally McCammon, Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) (emails attached) indicates no record of an
approval for field trials of K. planticola as submitted by Dr Ingham
(Witness Brief, Exec Summ, para 2).

Do you have the database of withdrawn applications and why they were
withdrawn?

A while back I referred to a submission by Jack Heineman against
approval of another organisation's application for GM work in NZ.

The other organisation withdrew the application.

Was Dr Ingham's work, connected with the EPA, the cause of a
dangerous or dubious application being withdrawn?

No idea. You'll have to eyeball your regulator's documentation, I
would think.
