Addendum
The following communication, dated 7 November 2002, has been received from Canada.
_______________
Regulations Amending the Food and Dr ug Regulations (1311 - Pyridaben)
The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), of Health Canada, has recently approved
an application to amend the registration of pyridaben in order to allow its use for the control of mites
on tomatoes.  This regulatory amendment will establish a Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) forresidues of pyridaben resulting from this use in tomatoes, in order to permit the sale of food
containing these residues.
After the review of all available data, the PM RA has determined that an MRL for pyridaben
of 0.15 p.p.m. in tomatoes would not pose an unacceptable health risk to the public.
