7. Provide supplemental information here

DuPont Canada has recently become aware of a US residue study from 2010 that has a slightly higher residue in one barley trial compared to the MRL set for barley by the PMRA. This was a study that Dupont US conducted to add extra residue points for a number of crops (6 extra trials for barley), however the residue trials finished after the EPA data submission deadline for the original registration package. As the US were not putting barley on their marketplace label, they did not submit this study to the EPA and also missed informing DuPont Canada that the study was available. DuPont US are currently in the process of submitting the study to the EPA now.
