Addendum  
 
 
 The following communication, dated 8 April 2004, is being circulated at the request of the Delegation of Canada

_______________ 
 
 Regulations Amending the Food and Dr ug Regulations (1354 - Picolinafen)
 
 
Under authority of the Pest Control Products Act , the Pest Management Regulatory Agency 
(PMRA), of Health Canada, has approved an appli cation for the registration of the pest control 
product (pesticide) picolinafen as a herbicide for the control of broadleaf weeds in barley and spring 
wheat (including durum) as a post-emergent treatment.  This regulatory amendment will establish Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) under the Food and Drugs Act  for residues of picolinafen resulting 
from this use in barley 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 picolinafen 
of 0.05 parts per million (ppm) in barley and wheat would not pose an unacceptable health risk to the 
public.
