registration is based on current scientific and other knowledge, 
including its effects on human health and the environment.

whether a pesticide meets, or does not meet the standard for

comments were received for the Trichoderma species and Linalool cases. 
The final decisions that are subject to this notice continue to be 
supported by the rationales included in the proposed registration 
review decisions for each case. The documents in the subject 
registration review dockets describe the Agency's rationale for issuing 
these final decisions for Trichoderma species and Linalool cases. No 
risk mitigation measures are required or specified in the final 
decisions for these registration review cases and no labeling changes 
are required as a result of these final decisions.
