The risk assessments, which are summarized below, are based on the review of the required target database supporting the use patterns of currently registered products and additional information received through the public dock et. After considering the risks identified in the revised risk assessments, comments re ceived, and mitigation suggestions from interested parties, the Agency developed its risk management decision for uses of halohydantoins that pose risks of concern. As a result of this
