DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ACT

Notice Amending the Pharmaceutical Export Certificates Fees

Notice is hereby given that the Minister of Health, under the Department of Health Act, hereby reduces the fees for the services associated with the issuance of pharmaceutical export certificates.

Export certificates provide a formal attestation regarding a drug product's marketing status in Canada and the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance status of the manufacturer. There is no obligation for a drug manufacturer, within the Food and Drug Regulations, to obtain an export certificate. Export certificates are issued by the Therapeutic Products Programme (TPP), upon request, as a voluntary service to the pharmaceutical industry.

Fees for export certificates were introduced on May 1, 1996. The fee for the services associated with the issuance of each export certificate was, until the publication of this notice, $100.00 plus tax.

Effective on the date of publication of this notice in the Canada Gazette, each pharmaceutical export certificate will be reduced to $50.00 plus tax:

1. Applications originating from Quebec require a fee of $57.51 ($50 + 7 percent GST + 7.5 percent PST = $57.51).

2. Applications originating from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, or Newfoundland require a fee of $57.50 ($50 + 15 percent HST = $57.50).

3. Applications originating from all other provinces and territories require a fee of $53.50 ($50 + 7 percent GST = $53.50).

In addition, the fee for supplemental copies, of an export certificate, that is requested at the same time as the certificate itself and with respect to the same pharmaceutical product but for a different country will be reduced to $25 plus tax:

4. Applications originating from Quebec require a fee of $28.76 ($25 + 7 percent GST + 7.5 percent PST = $28.76).

5. Applications originating from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, or Newfoundland require a fee of $28.75 ($25 + 15 percent HST = $28.75).

6. Applications originating from all other provinces and territories require a fee of $26.75 ($25 + 7 percent GST = $26.75).

The reduction in fees is based on an evaluation of the costing of pharmaceutical export certificate activities of the TPP and responds to stakeholders' requests for a review of the appropriateness of the existing fee structure.

A guidance document and a copy of the application form is available on the Therapeutic Products Programme's Web site (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hpb-dgps/therapeut/).

Additional information respecting this initiative may be obtained from France Dansereau, Office of Compliance, Planning and Coordination, Bureau of Compliance and Enforcement, Therapeutic Products Programme, Address Locator 3002C, Holland Cross, Tower A, 11 Holland Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 1B6, (613) 957-1492 (Telephone), (613) 952-9805 (Facsimile), france_dansereau@hc-sc.gc.ca (Electronic mail).

DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY ACT

Notice No. DGRB-002-00 — Radio Authorization Fee for the Assignment of Certain Call Signs in the Amateur Radio Service

Introduction

The operation of radio apparatus in the amateur radio service is for the purpose of self-training, intercommunication or technical investigation by individuals who are interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest.

Radio amateur operators enjoy communicating worldwide with other amateurs, experimenting with slow scan TV and pioneering innovative communication techniques such as packet radio. Amateurs often volunteer valuable community services by providing communications at various charity and sporting events or during disaster relief operations.

Over the years, officials of the Department have worked with radio amateurs and organizations such as Radio Amateurs of Canada Inc. to foster the development of the service. As part of this effort, the Department consulted with the amateur community to develop a proposal to streamline the current authorization procedures that permit qualified individuals to operate in the amateur radio service.

On May 14, 1999, Industry Canada issued a consultation document, entitled Discussion Paper: Streamlining the Authorization Process for the Amateur Radio Service (Canada Gazette Notice DGRB-004-99). This document set out a proposal to modify the administration of the amateur radio service by removing the requirements to hold a radio licence thereby making the Amateur Radio Operator Certificate the sole authorization document. Under the proposal, call signs used to identify an operator's station would continue to be issued under the call sign policy but associated with the certificate rather than the radio licence. The Department also invited comments on a proposal to charge a fee of $60 for user initiated transactions related to call signs.

This one-time fee will be charged:

— to change an existing call sign (including changing to a two-letter call sign);

— to issue a call sign to a club or other organization;

— to issue an additional call sign to an individual; and

— to issue a special event call sign or a special prefix.

There will be no fee charged for the grandfathering ("registration") of existing call signs assigned to individuals or clubs or the use of call sign extensions to designate multiple station locations. Moreover, a fee will not be charged:

— to issue the initial call sign with the Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with the Basic Qualification;

— to issue a replacement certificate due to loss or damage;

— to issue a replacement call sign with a new prefix, due to a change in address to a new province or territory; and

— to issue a certificate as a result of an additional qualification such as 5 words per minute (w.p.m), 12 w.p.m. or Advanced.

In response to this consultation, 24 submissions were received from interested parties. Most of the responses from individual amateurs, amateur clubs and organizations such as the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, applaud and fully support the Department's efforts to streamline the amateur service and have suggested improvements for its implementation. Radio Amateurs of Canada Inc. also endorsed the proposal and recommended that the Department publish a policy governing the assignment of call signs.

In light of this favourable response, amendments were made to the Radiocommunication Regulations that came into effect April 1, 2000, to implement the new streamlined regime.

Few adverse comments were made about the fee proposal of $60 for user initiated transactions related to call signs. For the majority of respondents, the amount and criteria for charging this fee are reasonable. The fee covers the estimated cost of producing a notification of call sign registration and the ongoing maintenance of the data base as it relates to entries for which a fee is collected.

In light of the favourable consultations with the amateur community, the fee for an additional or special call sign or prefix will be established as proposed in the policy document released in May 1999. Complete details of the fee, administered in accordance with the call sign policy for the operation of radio stations in the radio amateur service, are set out in the following fee schedule.

Fee Schedule

The Minister of Industry, pursuant to section 19 of the Department of Industry Act, hereby fixes the following fee, effective the date of publication of this notice in the Canada Gazette.

Radio Authorization Fee

2. The radio authorization fee for the assignment of a call sign or prefix in the amateur radio service is $60 for each occurrence of the following transactions:

General Notes

1. There is no fee for the grandfathering ("registration") of existing call signs or the use of call sign extensions to designate multiple stations. There is no fee charged:

— to issue the initial call sign with the Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with the Basic Qualification;

— to issue a replacement certificate due to loss or damage;

— to issue a replacement call sign with a new prefix, due to a change in address to a new province or territory; and

— to issue a certificate as a result of an additional qualification such as 5 w.p.m., 12 w.p.m. or Advanced.

2. The fee is due when applying for the issuance or registration of a call sign or special prefix.

3. The fee may be revised from time to time as circumstances warrant.
