II. Did EPA Approve the Application?
The Agency approved the application after considering all required
data on risks associated with the proposed use of (Z,E)-9,12-
Tetradecadienyl acetate and (Z)-9-Tetradecen-1-ol, 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
(Z,E)-9,12-Tetradecadienyl acetate and (Z)-9-Tetradecen-1-ol when used
in accordance with widespread and commonly recognized practice, will
not generally cause unreasonable adverse effects to the environment.
III. Approved Application
EPA issued a notice, published in the Federal Register of December
16, 1998 (63 FR 69281) (FRL-6046-7), which announced that Biocontrol

mixture of 69% (Z,E)-9,12-Tetradecadienyl acetate and 26% (Z)-9-
