II. Did EPA Approve the Application?

    The Agency approved the application after considering all required 
data on risks associated with the proposed use of chlorfenapyr (4-
bromo-2-(chlorophenyl)-1-(ethoxymethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrrole-
3-carbonitrile), 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 chlorfenapyr 
(4-bromo-2-(chlorophenyl)-1-(ethoxymethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-
pyrrole-3-carbonitrile) when used in accordance with widespread and 
commonly recognized practice, will not generally cause unreasonable 
adverse effects to the environment.
