II. Did EPA Approve the Application?

     The Agency approved the application after considering all required 
data on risks associated with the proposed use of N-methylneodecanamide 
(MNDA), and information on social, economic, and environmental benefits 
to be derived from use. Specifically, the Agency has considered the 
nature of the chemical 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 N-methylneodecanamide (MNDA) when 
used in accordance with widespread and commonly recognized practice, 
will not generally cause unreasonable adverse effects to human health 
or to the environment.
