II. Did EPA Approve the Applications?

    The Agency approved the applications after considering all required 
data on risks associated with the proposed use of R-(-)-1-octen-3-ol, 
Indole-3-acetic acid, Saponins of Quillaja saponaria, fox urine, 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 R-(-)-1-octen-3-ol, Indole-3-acetic acid, Saponins of 
Quillaja saponaria, and fox urine when used in accordance with 
widespread and commonly recognized practice, will not generally cause 
unreasonable adverse effects to the environment.
