According to the attached 12/8/2016 *Capital Press Ag* news article, the<br>
decision to deregulate the genetically engineered glyphosate-resistant<br>
creeping bentgrass will be made by the USDA Secretary of Agriculture after<br>
the close of the final public comment period, which was Monday.<br>

Attached are several of many research papers re aspects of the expanding<br>
problem of transgenic *Agrostis* and hybrids with *Polypogon* getting<br>
into various landscapes and habitats.<br>
