Book Description

Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act and Regulations, has completed a re-evaluation of Bacillus thuringiensis and has concluded that continuing registration for this active ingredient and associated end-uses is acceptable, provided that certain mitigation measures are adopted. Additional data requirements are identified. Summaries of the data and information reviewed during the re-evaluation and the proposed regulatory decisions were published in the Proposed Acceptability for Continuing Registration document PACR2006-09, Re-evaluation of Bacillus thuringiensis, dated 16 November 2006, and the decision statement (RVD2008-18), which was published on 6 May 2008. Following the decision statement publication, some mitigation measures such as label statements have been revised. The revised labelling statements describing the acceptable uses and conditions of use for Bacillus thuringiensis end-use products are summarized in Appendix I.--Document.
