II. Did EPA Approve the Application?

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