than 100% of the appropriate c-PAD,

and all acute dietary MOE values exceed

1,000. Chronic and acute dietary risk to

children from flumioxazin should not

be of concern. Further, flumioxazin has

only agricultural uses and no other uses,

such as indoor pest control, homeowner

or turf, that could lead to unique,

enhanced exposures to vulnerable subgroups of the population. It can be

concluded that there is a reasonable

certainty that no harm will result to the

U.S. population or to any sub-group of

the U.S. population, including infants

and children, from aggregate chronic or

aggregate acute exposures to

flumioxazin residues resulting from

proposed uses.

F. International Tolerances

Flumioxazin has not been evaluated

by the JMPR and there are no Codex

maximum residue limits (MRL) for

flumioxazin. MRL values have been

established to allow the following uses

of flumioxazin in the following

countries.
