Addendum
The following communication, dated 21 November 2002 has been received from Canada.
_______________
Regulations Amending the Food and Dr ug Regulations (1324 - Florasulam)
Under authority of the Pest Control Products Act , the Pest Management Regulatory Agency
(PMRA), of Health Canada, has approved an application for the registration of the pest control
product (pesticide) florasulam as a herbicide for the control of broadleaf weeds in barley, oats and
wheat as a post-emergent treatment.  This regu latory amendment will establish a Maximum Residue
Limit (MRL) under the Food and Drugs Act  for residues of florasulam resulting from this use in
barley, oats and wheat, in order to permit the sale of food containing these residues.
After the review of all available data, the PMRA has determined that an MRL for florasulam
of 0.01 parts per million (p.p.m) in barley, oats and wheat would not pose an unacceptable health risk
to the public.
