Under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has granted full registration to technical grade carfentrazone-ethyl and the end-use product AIM EC for use in Canada on root and tuber vegetables (Crop Group 1), bulb vegetables (Crop Group 3), leafy vegetables (Crop Groups 4 and 5), legume vegetables (Crop Group 6), fruiting vegetables (Crop Group 8), cucurbit vegetables (Crop Group 9), pome fruits (Crop Group 11), stone fruits (Crop Group 12), berries (Crop Group 13), cereal grains (Crop Group 15), oilseeds (Crop Group 20), grapes and strawberries. See Appendix I for a list of crop group commodities. The specific uses approved in Canada are detailed on the product label of AIM EC, Pest Control Products Act Registration Number 28573.

Corresponding maximum residue limit (MRLs) were proposed in accordance with the document published on 30 June 2009, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2009-02, Carfentrazone-ethyl.

To comply with Canada's international trade obligations, consultation on the proposed MRLs was also conducted internationally by notifying the World Trade Organization, as coordinated by the Standards Council of Canada.

The PMRA received no comments in response to consultations for the proposed carfentrazone- ethyl MRLs.

The following MRLs are legally in effect as of the publication date of this document.
