Under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has added a new use on peanuts to the product label of Frontier Herbicide, containing technical grade dimethenamid. The specific use approved in Canada is detailed on the label of Frontier Herbicide, Pest Control Products Act Registration Number 23462.

A corresponding maximum residue limit (MRL) was proposed in the consultation document published on 21 November 2008, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2008-35, Dimethenamid. The PMRA received no comments in response to this consultation.

To comply with Canada's international trade obligations, consultation on the proposed MRL was also conducted internationally by notifying the World Trade Organization, as coordinated by the Standards Council of Canada. No comments were received as a result of the World Trade Organization consultation.

The following MRL is legally in effect as of the publication date of this document and is in addition to the MRLs already established for dimethenamid.
