CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ACT

Model Class Screening Report for Routine Fish Habitat Restoration and Enhancement Projects in British Columbia and Yukon — Public Notice

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) declares the Model Class Screening Report for Routine Fish Habitat Restoration and Enhancement Projects in British Columbia and Yukon to be a Class Screening Report pursuant to the provisions of subsection 19(1) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (the Act).

In making the declaration proposed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (F&O), the Agency reviewed the proposed Model Class Screening Report (MCSR) and took into account comments received from the public. The Agency determined that the project-screening process described in the document, and the procedures, requirements and time periods relating to environmental assessment and follow-up programs, facilitate the requirements of the Act being met on specific future projects.

The declaration is effective August 16, 2000, and is subject to the following terms and conditions:

— The declaration is for a period of five years from the date of declaration.

— F&O will notify the Agency, in writing, a minimum of six months prior to the date on which the declaration expires, of its intention to renew the MCSR as is; or to renew the MCSR with modifications or additions; or to not renew the MCSR and thereby allow the declaration to expire.

— To renew the MCSR, F&O will submit the proposed class screening report to the Agency for renewal of the declaration not less than two months prior to the expiration date of this declaration.

— F&O will place the MCSR and subsequent Class Screening Project Reports in the Public Registry in its Pacific Regional Headquarters Office. F&O will maintain a running tally by sub-class of all projects completed under the class, and submit the tally semi-annually to the Agency for incorporation in the Federal Environmental Assessment Index (i.e., September 30 and March 31).

— Any amendments to the MCSR will be developed and implemented in accord with the provisions for amendment contained in section 1.6 of the MCSR.

COMMENCEMENT OF INQUIRY

Waterproof Footwear and Bottoms

Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on August 10, 2000, from the Acting Director General of the Anti-dumping and Countervailing Directorate at the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, stating that a preliminary determination had been made respecting the dumping in Canada of waterproof footwear and bottoms of plastic or rubber, including moulded clogs, originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China, excluding ski-boots, skating boots and all footwear subject to the order made in the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Review No. RR-97-001.

Pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated an inquiry (Inquiry No. NQ-2000-004) to determine whether the dumping of the above-mentioned goods has caused or is threatening to cause injury, or has caused retardation, as these words are defined in SIMA, and to determine such other matters as the Tribunal is required to determine under that section.

Under section 46 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, a person who provides information to the Tribunal and who wishes some or all of the information to be kept confidential must submit to the Tribunal, at the time the information is provided, a statement designating the information as confidential, together with an explanation as to why that information is designated as confidential. Furthermore, the person must submit a non- confidential summary of the information designated as confidential or a statement indicating why such a summary cannot be made.

Public Hearing

A public hearing relating to this inquiry will be held in the Tribunal Hearing Room, 18th Floor, Standard Life Centre, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario, commencing on November 7, 2000, at 9:30 a.m.

Each person or government wishing to participate in the inquiry and at the hearing as a party must file a notice of appearance with the Secretary on or before August 30, 2000. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the inquiry and at the hearing must file a notice of appearance as well as a declaration and undertaking with the Secretary on or before August 30, 2000.

To allow the Tribunal to determine whether simultaneous interpretation will be required for the hearing, each interested party and each counsel filing a notice of appearance must advise the Secretary, at the same time that they file the notice, whether they and their witnesses will be using French or English or both languages at the hearing.

Representations concerning the public interest question referred to in subsection 45(2) of SIMA may be made to the Tribunal. Persons referred to in subsection 45(2) who wish to make representations on that question must make the request to do so to the Secretary no later than August 30, 2000. No comprehensive representations on the public interest question are required at that time. However, any person wishing to make such representations should indicate the general nature of the public interest concerns. If any such request is received, the Secretary will notify any person making such a request and the parties to the inquiry of the place and time for the making of representations and the manner in which they may be made in the event of a finding of injury.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules govern these proceedings.

In order to observe and understand production processes, the Tribunal, accompanied by its staff, may conduct plant visits.

Along with the notice of commencement of inquiry, the Secretary has sent a letter to the domestic producers, importers and certain purchasers with a known interest in the inquiry providing details on the procedures and the schedule for the inquiry. It specifies, among other things, the date for filing replies to Tribunal questionnaires, the date that information on record will be made available by the Tribunal to interested parties and counsel that have filed notices of appearance, and dates for filing of submissions by interested parties.

CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

COMMENCEMENT OF PRELIMINARY INJURY INQUIRY

Grain Corn

Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on August 9, 2000, from the Acting Director General of the Anti-dumping and Countervailing Directorate at the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) stating that the Commissioner of the CCRA had initiated an investigation into a complaint respecting the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing in Canada of grain corn in all forms, excluding white dent corn imported by snack food and tortilla manufacturers for use by them in the manufacture of snack food and tortillas, seed corn (used for reproductive purposes), sweet corn, and popping corn, originating in or exported from the United States of America, and imported into Canada for use or consumption west of the Manitoba/Ontario border.

Pursuant to subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated a preliminary injury inquiry (Inquiry No. PI-2000-001) to determine whether the evidence discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping and subsidizing of the subject goods have caused material injury or retardation or are threatening to cause material injury, as these words are defined in SIMA.

The Tribunal's inquiry will be conducted by way of written submissions. Each person or government wishing to participate in the inquiry must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before August 25, 2000. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the inquiry must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before August 25, 2000.

On August 31, 2000, the Tribunal will distribute the public information received from the Commissioner to all parties that filed notices of participation, and the confidential information to counsel who filed a declaration and undertaking with the Tribunal.

Submissions by parties opposed to the complaint must be filed on or before September 11, 2000. These submissions should include evidence, e.g. documents and sources which support the factual statements in the submissions, and argument concerning the questions of:

— whether there are goods produced in Canada, other than those identified in the Commissioner's statement of reasons for initiating the investigation, that are like goods to the allegedly dumped or subsidized goods;

— whether there is more than one class of allegedly dumped or subsidized goods;

— which domestic producers of like goods comprise the domestic industry; and

— whether the information before the Tribunal discloses a reasonable indication that the alleged dumping or subsidizing of the goods has caused material injury or retardation, or threatens to cause material injury.

The complainant may make submissions in response to the submissions of parties opposed to the complaint by September 18, 2000. At that time, other parties supporting the complaint may also make submissions to the Tribunal.

Parties will be directed to serve their public submissions on all other parties. Submissions containing confidential information must be filed with the Tribunal. (see footnote 1) The Tribunal will distribute the confidential submissions to counsel who filed a declaration and undertaking with the Tribunal.

Under section 46 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, a person who provides information to the Tribunal and who wishes some or all of the information to be kept confidential must submit to the Tribunal, at the time the information is provided, a statement designating the information as confidential, together with an explanation as to why that information is designated as confidential. Furthermore, the person must submit a non-confidential summary of the information designated as confidential or a statement indicating why such a summary cannot be made.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules govern these proceedings.

Along with the notice of commencement of preliminary injury inquiry, the Secretary has sent a letter to the domestic producers, to importers and to exporters with a known interest in the inquiry which provides details on the procedures and the schedule for the inquiry. The notice and the schedule of events consisting of key dates are available from the Tribunal's Web site, which can be found at www.citt.gc.ca.

Written submissions, correspondence or requests for information regarding this inquiry should be addressed to: The Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, (613) 993-3595 (Telephone), (613) 990-2439 (Facsimile).

CANADIAN RADIO-TELEVISION AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

PUBLIC NOTICE 2000-113

Establishment of an Industry Working Group to Examine the Digital Distribution of Existing Pay and Specialty Services

In Public Notice CRTC 2000-6 dated January 13, 2000 (Licensing framework policy for new digital pay and specialty services), the Commission indicated that it would address, later, the issues related to the migration of existing pay and specialty services from analog to digital distribution.

"Analog" and "digital" distribution are terms applied to different technologies used by distributors to deliver television programming and other services to their subscribers. Some distributors, such as those operating direct-to-home satellite undertakings and the larger multipoint distribution systems, make exclusive use of the new digital technology to deliver services to subscribers. Other distributors, including most cable television operators, still make predominant use of analog technology.

There are several advantages that digital technology holds over analog technology for use in distributing programming and other services, including its more efficient use of available spectrum (channel capacity). This will include high definition television (HDTV) signals and interactive video-on-demand programming which may require a new generation of set-top box. It is expected that once an industry standard for digital distribution technology is established, television manufacturers will begin to build this technology into their products. It is further expected that, over time, digital distribution will replace analog distribution entirely.

For some time, rules have been in place with respect to access to analog cable distribution undertakings by programming services. Recently (see Public Notice CRTC 2000-6), the Commission established a licensing framework for new digital pay and specialty services. Now, the Commission's task is to develop and implement a regulatory framework capable of facilitating, over time, an orderly transition to a wholly digital distribution environment.

The Commission is aware of discussions between the providers of certain programming services and distributors concerning, among other things, the manner in which existing pay and specialty services now generally distributed in analog packages will be distributed in a digital environment. The Commission also understands that negotiations between pay and specialty programmers and distributors concerning the renewal of existing affiliation agreements have been proceeding with difficulty. This may be because of uncertainty created in the absence of rules to govern the distribution of these services either partly, or wholly, on a digital basis.

In light of the above, the Commission hereby initiates a process for the purpose of designing a regulatory framework that will facilitate the transition to digital distribution. The process will be modelled on those undertaken in the past by the CRTC Industry Steering Committee (CISC). As a first step, the Commission requests that providers of existing pay and specialty services join with those distributors who continue to make use of analog technology to establish a working group. The role of the working group will be to develop a proposal for submission to the Commission that addresses the distribution of existing analog services in a digital environment.

The Commission notes that the potential impact of this process will be experienced, ultimately and most directly, by those subscribing to the services of distribution undertakings. Accordingly, it considers that this working group process should provide an opportunity for input by other parties, particularly consumers.

The Commission is confident that the cooperative, consensual approach implicit in such a working group process will provide interested parties with an opportunity to develop for the Commission's consideration a proposal for an acceptable and effective regulatory framework to govern the distribution of services in a digital environment. The Commission emphasizes, however, that it shall ultimately determine the shape of this framework and the rules under which it will operate.

For the purposes of this notice and the process that will follow from it, the Commission intends to make use of the following definitions for the two possible migration scenarios:

"complete migration" of the service from analog to digital cable would occur where the service is no longer available as an analog cable service; and

"partial migration" of the service from analog to digital cable would occur where the service remains available as an analog cable service and is also available as a digital cable service on a stand-alone and/or package basis.

The Commission notes that these definitions are substantially the same as those used by the Canadian Association of Broadcasters in its July 7, 2000 submission to the Commission in relation to the upcoming hearing on new digital specialty and pay services.

The Commission requests the working group to develop a proposal that addresses the issues related to each of the migration scenarios, including an implementation schedule. Without limiting the scope of the proposal, the working group should also address, at a minimum, the questions and issues set out below:

Issues in a partial migration scenario

— Should distributors be required to continue to offer existing analog services on an analog basis once a significant level of digital distribution has been achieved? If so, is there a threshold (e.g. a subscribership level or level of penetration for digital boxes) where this would no longer be a requirement? Should this threshold apply at the level of each individual distribution undertaking, a market, a region, or on a national basis?

— During the transition, should distributors be permitted to offer subscribers the option of receiving existing analog services in a digital format on an individual, à la carte basis, or must these services also be offered as part of digital packages with other services?

— Should one who distributes a service on an analog basis be required to obtain permission from the service provider before distributing the service on a digital basis as well?

Issues in either a partial or complete migration scenario

— To date, access requirements have generally addressed analog distribution. What, if any, access requirements should there be in the digital environment for existing analog services?

— What, if any, changes should be made in a digital environment to the current carriage status distinctions (dual, modified dual, discretionary)?

— In an environment that is partially digital, what changes might be justified to the terms typically found in today's affiliation agreements, particularly those dealing with rates and penetration? What changes might be justified in a wholly digital environment?

— In a digital distribution environment, what degree of choice should the public have in subscribing to individual programming services?

— Should the Commission's general regulatory approach to these issues distinguish between the different circumstances of large and small distributors? If so, how?

— Considering the size of the French-language market and the different provisions that, historically, have been applied to the distribution of French-language pay and specialty services, should the Commission consider creating different rules for the implementation of a partial or complete migration to digital in that market? If so, what should these different rules be?

In addition to the above questions, the Commission encourages the working group to address in its report any other issues that it may find relevant.

The Commission invites the licensees of all distribution undertakings that continue to employ analog distribution technology, in whole or in part, and the licensees of all pay and specialty undertakings, to participate in the working group, possibly through the formulation of submissions to their respective industry associations. In addition, the Commission will assign members of its own staff to participate as observers.

As mentioned above, the Commission expects all participants in the working group to take into account the views and concerns of consumers in preparing the report. To assist in achieving this objective, the Commission considers that it would be beneficial for the working group to include participation by French- and English-language consumer organizations and other groups representing the views of Canadians. In particular the Commission would encourage such groups to gather and present evidence of how consumers are likely to respond, overall, to the recommendations contained in the working group's report.

To ensure that as many groups and individuals as possible have the opportunity to make their views known to the working group, the Commission will accept written comments and relay these to the working group. Such comments should be submitted to the Commission (referencing this Public Notice) by September 15, 2000.

Interested parties can file their comments on paper or electronically. Submissions longer than five pages should include a summary.

The hard copy should be sent to the Secretary General, Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2.

Parties wishing to file electronic versions of their comments can do so by electronic mail or on diskette. The Commission's electronic mail address is procedure@crtc.gc.ca.

The Commission requests that the working group submit its report to the Commission by October 31, 2000. The Commission intends to provide a subsequent opportunity for public comment on the working group's report.

PUBLIC NOTICE 2000-115

Public Consultations on French-language Broadcasting Services Available to Francophones Outside Quebec

Consultation dates and locations

Beginning in September 2000, the Commission will hold a series of public consultations on French-language broadcasting services available outside Quebec. The consultations, to be held at 11 locations across Canada, are part of a public proceeding that will include a public hearing to begin in Hull on October 18, 2000.

While not wishing to limit discussion, the Commission puts forward the following questions for consideration by participants:

— What do you consider to be the deficiencies and challenges related to the provision of French-language broadcasting services (radio, television, specialty services and pay TV) in French linguistic minority communities in Canada?

— What do you consider to be the deficiencies and challenges related to the availability of French-language broadcasting services on the various broadcasting distribution systems in Canada?

— How can technological developments help to meet these challenges?

— How could access to the widest possible range of these services be encouraged and facilitated in French linguistic minority communities? Should the Commission adopt a different approach for the Ottawa region?

— How best do we ensure that the diversity of French-language communities across Canada is reflected in the Canadian broadcasting system?

Public consultations will be held at the locations listed below from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., local time, on the following dates:
