II. Did EPA Approve the Application?

    The Agency approved the applications after considering all required 
data on risks associated with the proposed use of 
lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE), 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 LPE 
when used in accordance with widespread and commonly recognized 
practice, will not generally cause unreasonable adverse effects to the 
environment.
