MIGRATORY BIRDS CONVENTION ACT, 1994
Amendment to the Migratory Birds Regulations
Notice is hereby given that the Department of the Environment proposes an amendment to the Migratory Birds Regulations, pursuant to section 12 of the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994.
The amendment would make several minor adjustments to the current definition of non-toxic shot, which is defined presently as steel shot, tungsten-iron shot, bismuth shot or tungsten-polymer shot. The proposed amendment would rename tungsten-polymer shot as tungsten-matrix shot. The purpose is to indicate more clearly that tungsten-matrix contains a mixture of several components, and to distinguish it from other types of non-toxic shot for users and industry. Tungsten-matrix shot will mean shotgun pellets consisting of at least 86 percent by weight of tungsten, not more than 5 percent by weight of nickel, not more than 3 percent by weight of iron and not more than 5 percent by weight of ethylene methacrylic acid copolymer, and not containing more than 1 percent by weight each of any other element or compound.
This amendment also would add two non-toxic shot types to the Regulations, tin shot and tungsten-polymer shot, which were recently approved by the Canadian Wildlife Service, Environment Canada, as non-toxic. Tin shot will mean shotgun pellets containing at least 98 percent by weight of tin, and not containing more than 1 percent by weight each of any other element. Tungsten-polymer shot will mean shotgun pellets containing at least 93 percent by weight of tungsten and not more than 7 percent by weight of Nylon 6 or Nylon 11, and not containing more than 1 percent by weight each of any other element or compound.
A very minor adjustment in the definition of all other lead shot alternatives identified in the Regulations will be made to ensure consistency.
As a result of this amendment, non-toxic shot will be defined as bismuth shot, steel shot, tin shot, tungsten-iron shot, tungsten-matrix shot or tungsten-polymer shot.
Interested parties who wish to comment on the proposed amendment are invited to submit their comments, within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice, to the Chief, Migratory Birds Conservation, Canadian Wildlife Service, Environment Canada, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H3, (819) 953-6283 (Facsimile).

FOOD AND DRUGS ACT
Schedule A to the Act — Amendment (Hepatitis)
This notice is to provide the public with an opportunity to comment in advance on a proposal to amend Schedule A to the Food and Drugs Act. The intent of this proposed amendment will be to specify that liver disease, which is listed on Schedule A, does not include hepatitis.
Subsection 3(1) of the Food and Drugs Act prohibits the advertising of any food, drug, cosmetic or device to the general public as a treatment, preventative, or cure for any disease, disorder or abnormal physical state referred to in Schedule A. Liver disease is listed on Schedule A to the Act and includes hepatitis. Therefore, the advertisement and promotion of hepatitis vaccines to the general public is prohibited. It is the position of Health Canada that this unduly restricts health promotional advertisements which are beneficial to groups at risk of contracting hepatitis.
Vaccines are currently available for Hepatitis A and B and are an important public health tool. Amending Schedule A to specify that liver disease does not include hepatitis will allow health promotional advertisements to promote hepatitis vaccination. Misleading advertising can be controlled under subsection 9(1) of the Food and Drugs Act.
Interested parties are encouraged to provide preliminary comments on this proposal to: Andrew Adams, Bureau of Policy and Coordination, Therapeutic Products Programme, Health Canada, Address Locator 0702B1, Tunney's Pasture, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1A 0L2, or by Internet at: andrew_adams@hc-sc.gc.ca.

Therapeutic Products Programme — Regulations Exempting Certain Precursors and Controlled Substances from the Application of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act — Notice to Interested Parties
The Therapeutic Products Programme of Health Canada intends to undertake a review of the Regulations Exempting Certain Precursors and Controlled Substances from the Application of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to identify the substances for which regulatory changes are necessary to bring the control of certain substances, including benzodiazepines, into compliance with Canada's obligations under international drug control conventions.
Canada is a party to three United Nations drug control conventions:
(i) the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, as amended by the 1972 Protocol Amending the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961;
(ii) the Convention on Psychotropic Substances, 1971; and
(iii) the UN Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Pyschotropic Substances, 1988 (The Vienna Convention).
Canada has made a commitment to enact laws which give effect to the mandatory provisions of these Conventions by imposing control measures over the substances listed in the schedules to the 1961, 1971 and 1988 Conventions.
Some of these substances, which are listed in the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, have been exempted from the application of the Act by the Regulations Exempting Certain Precursors and Controlled Substances from the Application of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act which were enacted on May 14, 1997.
The Therapeutic Products Programme intends to identify the substances that are listed in these Regulations for which current control measures are inadequate to meet Canada's international obligations. This will be followed by the development of regulations for these substances to give effect to the mandatory control provisions of the Conventions.
Input will be sought on the development of these Regulations from interested stakeholders.
Comments on this proposal may be sent to Karen Reynolds, Project Manager, Bureau of Policy and Coordination, Therapeutic Products Programme, Health Canada, Address Locator 0702B1, Tunney's Pasture, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1A 0L2, or by electronic mail at karen_reynolds@hc-sc.gc.ca.

RADIOCOMMUNICATION ACT
Notice No. SMBR-002-98 — DTV (Digital Television) Transition Allotment Plan
Introduction
Industry Canada announces the publication of the DTV Transition Allotment Plan for public comment. The Plan is predicated on the use of the A/53 Digital TV Standard and is designed to provide for the introduction of DTV (digital television) undertakings, as well as to continue to accommodate the existing NTSC undertakings during the transition period. Thereafter, DTV only will remain.
The allotment criteria which were used to develop the Plan are listed in the Preamble to the Plan.
The A/53 Digital Television Standard describes a system designed to transmit high quality digital video and audio, as well as ancillary data over a 6 MHz channel. It was adopted as the DTV standard for Canada in Canada Gazette Notice No. SMBR-004-97 — Adoption of Standard for Digital Television (DTV) Broadcasting in Canada, which was published on November 22, 1997.
DTV Transition Allotment Plan Principles
The DTV Transition Allotment Plan is based on principles developed in Government/industry discussions, including relevant recommendations of the Task Force on the Implementation of Digital Television.
These principles include the following:
— DTV should be introduced as an eventual replacement service to analog NTSC services;
— The Plan shall accommodate both NTSC and DTV broadcasting;
— Planning parameters for DTV are based on implementation of the ATSC A/53 standard; and
— A DTV allotment shall be provided for each regular and low power NTSC undertaking and to each allotment, to the extent possible.
Coordination with the United States (U.S.)
The plan was developed taking U.S. DTV allotments and existing U.S. regular NTSC stations into account.
As usual, allotments near the border area will need to be coordinated with the United States. Industry Canada has started discussions with U.S. officials in this regard in order to reduce incompatibilities as much as possible. Any resulting changes to the Plan will be announced after discussions are completed.
Final Plan
After the ultimate phase-out of NTSC, it is expected this DTV Transition Allotment Plan will be replaced by a new DTV Allotment Plan containing only DTV allotments. It is likely that, in a number of cases, the channels for these DTV allotments will be different from those for the DTV allotments in the transition plan.
The required core spectrum for the final DTV-only plan has yet to be determined. Operational experience from early implementation of DTV undertakings will help in determining the criteria to be used in the DTV-only plan.
Further Information
The DTV Transition Allotment Plan is available electronically on the Internet at the following WWW address:
http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/spectrum/ for the English version
and
http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/spectre/ for the French version.
Submission of Comments
Interested parties may submit comments concerning the DTV Transition Allotment Plan to the Director General, Spectrum Engineering Branch, Industry Canada, 300 Slater Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0C8, or at the Internet address broadcast.gazette@ ic.gc.ca in the case of electronic mail submissions.
Comments should be submitted no later than 90 days from the date of publication of this notice. Comments received will be made available on written request to the Director General.
