II. Did EPA Conditionally Approve the Application?
A conditional registration may be granted under section 3(c)(7)(C)
of FIFRA for a new active ingredient where certain data are lacking, on
condition that such data are received by the end of the conditional
registration period and do not meet or exceed the risk criteria set
forth in 40 CFR 154.7; that use of the pesticide during the conditional
registration period will not cause unreasonable adverse effects; and
that use of the pesticide is in the public interest. The Agency has
considered the available data on the risks associated with the proposed
use of (Z,E)-9,12-tetradecadien-1-yl acetate, and information on
social, economic, and environmental benefits to be derived from such
use. Specifically, the Agency has considered the nature and its pattern
of use, application methods and rates, and level and extent of
potential exposure. Based on these reviews, the Agency was able to make
basic health and safety determinations which show that use of (Z,E)-
9,12-tetradecadien-1-yl during the period of conditional registration
will not cause any unreasonable adverse effect on the environment, and
that use of the pesticide is, in the public interest.
Consistent with section 3(c)(7)(C) of FIFRA, the Agency has
determined that these conditional registrations are in the public
interest. Use of the pesticides are of significance to the user
community, and appropriate labeling, use directions, and other measures
have been taken to ensure that use of the pesticides will not result in
unreasonable adverse effects to man and the environment.
