BCS is submitting new information to PMRA related to FOE 5043 Technical Herbicide (Flufenacet). This information is not necessarily a new adverse effect of the subject chemical, but is rather new information submitted for the Agencys own review and evaluation because the data meet the Agencys administrative reporting criteria. The study resulted in a NOEC value less than the current early life stage NOEC for freshwater fish. This new NOEC, however, is still greater than the current NOEC for marine/estuarine species (Mysid shrimp).

5. a) Was the study discontinued before completion?

No

5. b) Provide the reason for discontinuation
