CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AGENCY

CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ACT

Model Class Screening Report for Routine Operation and Maintenance of Electrical Power Transmission Facilities in Banff National ParkPublic Notice

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) declares the Model Class Screening Report for Routine Operation and Maintenance of Electrical Power Transmission Facilities in Banff National Park 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 Parks Canada Agency, 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 to be met on similar future projects.

The declaration is effective March 29, 2003, and is subject to the following terms and conditions:

— The declaration period is valid until March 29, 2008.

— Parks Canada Agency 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, Parks Canada Agency must 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.

— Parks Canada Agency will place the MCSR and subsequent class screening project reports in the Public Registry in its regional offices. Parks Canada Agency will maintain a running tally by project type 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 accordance with the provisions for amendment contained in section 6 of the MCSR.

CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

COMMENCEMENT OF INQUIRY

Carbon Steel Pipe Nipples, Threaded Couplings and Adaptor Fittings

Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on March 18, 2003, from the 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 of carbon steel pipe nipples, threaded couplings and adaptor fittings, in nominal diameters up to and including 6 inches or the metric equivalents, originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China.

Pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated an inquiry (Inquiry No. NQ-2002-004) to determine whether the dumping of the above-mentioned goods has caused injury or retardation or is threatening to cause injury, 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, Standard Life Centre, 18th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario, commencing June 17, 2003, 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 participation with the Secretary on or before April 8, 2003. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the inquiry and at the hearing must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before April 8, 2003.

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 participation or representation 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.

In the event of an injury finding, a request for a public interest inquiry conducted pursuant to subsection 45(1) of SIMA may be made by any party to the injury inquiry or by any other group or person affected by the injury finding. Such a request must be filed with the Tribunal within 45 days of the injury finding. A public interest inquiry is completely separate from an injury inquiry. However, the Tribunal invites all persons who anticipate that they will have public interest concerns in the event of a material injury finding to simply notify the Tribunal by April 8, 2003. The Tribunal is not seeking and does not expect submissions on public interest issues during the injury inquiry.

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, as well as the schedule for the inquiry. The letter specifies, among other things, the date for filing replies to Tribunal questionnaires, the date that the information on record will be made available by the Tribunal to interested parties and counsel that have filed notices of participation or representation, and the dates for the filing of submissions by interested parties.

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).

Written and oral presentations to the Tribunal may be made in English or in French.

ORDER

Electrical and Electronics

Notice is hereby given that the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) issued an order on March 19, 2003, with respect to a complaint (File No. PR-2002-064) filed by Foundry Networks Inc. (the complainant) under subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C. 1985 (4th Supp.), c. 47, as amended by the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, S.C. 1993, c. 44, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. SGC0001963) by the Solicitor General of Canada (SGC). The solicitation was for the supply of networking equipment.

The complainant alleged that the SGC restricted the technical specifications contained in its solicitation by referring to a particular trademark or names of particular products, contrary to the applicable trade agreements.

The Tribunal is of the view that it does not have jurisdiction to continue its inquiry and therefore dismisses the complaint.

Further information may be obtained from: 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 INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

RECONSIDERATION OF RECOMMENDATION

Textile Products

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice that it will reconsider (Review No. TA-2002-001A) the recommendation made to the Minister of Finance (the Minister) on October 24, 2002, in Review No. TA-2002-001. The recommendation was for the continuation of tariff relief on certain textile products imported by Les Collections Shan Inc. (Shan). In its report to the Minister, the Tribunal specified that the proper mechanism to implement this recommendation was to allow Shan, and other qualified designers of swimwear, to claim tariff relief under the Designer Remission Order, 2001, modified as appropriate to include women's swimsuits, "co-ordinated beachwear" and "co-ordinated accessories."

On December 2, 2002, the Tribunal received a request from Shan to have the Tribunal reconsider its recommendation. Shan submitted that the Tribunal should: (a) disregard the evidence that Shan had originally submitted to the Tribunal in response to the Requester's Questionnaire and use, instead, for its economic analysis, the much lower value import data that it subsequently submitted with its request for reconsideration; and (b) accept Shan's rebuttal evidence regarding the submissions filed by domestic suppliers about their ability to supply Shan. In making its recommendation to the Minister, the Tribunal relied on import data that had been provided by Shan covering the period from November 1, 2001, to October 31, 2002. These data were reported in the Tribunal's protected staff investigation report, a copy of which was provided to counsel for Shan during the review investigation. No comments were made by Shan on these data at that time.

Following its request for reconsideration, at the request of the Tribunal, Shan submitted, on February 11, 2003, additional information with supporting documents concerning its imports of certain textile products for the period from November 1, 2001, to October 31, 2002. In this regard, the average value of some of its imports was significantly lower than that provided during the review investigation. While Shan must bear the responsibility for having provided the wrong information, the Tribunal has, nonetheless, decided to reconsider its recommendation to the Minister of Finance, but only as it relates to the new evidence provided by Shan on its imports of textile products. The Tribunal will conduct the review in accordance with section 19 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act (the CITT Act) and by way of written submissions.

The Tribunal will distribute to parties that filed notices of appearance with the Tribunal in Review No. TA-2002-001 the public information received by Shan, as well as a Tribunal staff investigation report. The confidential information provided by Shan, as well as the protected version of the Tribunal's staff investigation report, will be distributed to counsel who have filed a declaration and undertaking with the Tribunal. Upon distribution of these documents, the Tribunal will provide instructions to parties with respect to the time and manner for filing submissions. Parties will have 10 days to file their submissions and a further 5 days to file replies. The Tribunal will subsequently issue its recommendation.

Information that is confidential in nature will be treated in accordance with sections 43 to 49 of the CITT Act, which require that it shall not be made public in such a manner as to be available for the use of any business competitor or rival of the reporting person, firm or corporation. Access to confidential information will be granted to qualified counsel for a party to the proceedings pursuant to subsection 45(3) of the CITT Act.

Submissions to the Tribunal may be written in English or in French. All correspondence 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 2003-14

Call for Comments on Possible Amendments to the Commission's Procedures for Dealing with Applications for New Category 2 Pay and Specialty Services

The Commission seeks comment on the procedures it follows in processing applications proposing new Category 2 pay and specialty services. In this proceeding, the Commission will focus on possible modifications and alternatives to its current approach that would serve the public interest and make the most efficient and effective use of Commission resources, while ensuring that all applicants receive fair and equitable treatment. This review will be informed by the objectives identified by the Commission in Licensing framework policy for new digital pay and specialty services, Public Notice CRTC 2000-6, January 13, 2000.

Existing Licensing Framework for Category 2 Services

1. In Licensing framework policy for new digital pay and specialty services, Public Notice CRTC 2000-6, January 13, 2000 (Public Notice 2000-6), the Commission set out a licensing approach for new digital services. The objectives of this approach were to enhance diversity and choice for viewers, promote experimentation and innovation, and encourage the rollout of digital distribution technology. The framework provided a bridge between the traditional regulatory mechanisms and a more open-entry approach that would allow for greater risk taking; foster increased competition through a greater availability of services in the marketplace; and promote an environment in which customers increasingly determine the success of services.

2. The Commission stated that it would create two new types of digital services, namely Category 1 and Category 2 services. The Commission indicated that new Category 1 services would be speciavlty services licensed under essentially the same framework as had been applied to existing analog pay and specialty services. For example, they would be afforded genre protection. They would also receive access to distribution by all broadcasting distribution undertakings (BDUs) that offer programming services to subscribers using digital technology. Category 2 services would be pay and specialty services licensed under a lighter regulatory regime, including less rigorous obligations for the provision of Canadian content. Unlike Category 1 services, Category 2 services would not be given access rights to carriage by BDUs, but rather would have to negotiate such rights with them. The Commission's licensing framework stipulated that where a BDU chooses to carry a Category 2 service with which it is affiliated, it would be required to distribute at least five non-affiliated Category 2 services. An affiliated category 2 service is one in which a BDU directly or indirectly controls more than 10 percent of the equity.

3. To achieve the objectives outlined in Public Notice 2000-6, the Commission decided that it would not limit the number of Category 2 licences that it would issue. Instead, the Commission stated that all applicants proposing new Category 2 services would be licensed provided they met basic licensing criteria (see footnote 1)  and would not compete directly with Category 1 or existing analog services.

Subsequent Events

Licensing Action

4. At a public hearing commencing on August 14, 2000, the Commission considered applications for more than 361 Category 2 pay and specialty services, as well as those for almost 90 Category 1 specialty services and 6 pay-per-view and video-on-demand services.

5. In Introductory statement Licensing of new digital pay and specialty services, Public Notice CRTC 2000-171, December 14, 2000, as revised in Public Notice CRTC 2000-171-1 (Public Notice 2000-171), the Commission announced that, following the approval of an application, the licence for a Category 2 service would only be issued once the applicant had demonstrated that it had entered into a carriage agreement with a licensed BDU and was ready to launch. (see footnote 2)  The Commission also reiterated in Public Notice 2000-171 that it would only approve applications for new Category 2 services that would not be directly competitive with Category 1 or analog services.

6. To date, the Commission has approved 304 applications for new Category 2 services. Of this number, only 41 (13 percent of the total approved) have actually launched, following their successful negotiation of carriage agreements with BDUs.

Modification of the Procedures — Requirement for Evidence of Distribution Prior to Licensing

7. Processing the very large number of applications for new Category 2 pay and specialty services over the course of the past three years has imposed a workload on the Commission that is clearly disproportionate to the number of such services that have subsequently been able to launch. For example, the Commission has found both time- consuming and costly the public process required, in each case, to verify that a proposed service is not directly competitive with any Category 1 or analog service. This has meant, in practice, ensuring that the nature of service condition of licence is clearly defined. In some cases, as explained in Public Notice 2000-171, the Commission has "narrowed the nature of service from that proposed, rather than deny the application".

8. The proceedings dealing with the Category 2 pay and specialty services applications has also imposed a parallel administrative burden on the industry and other interested parties in reviewing the many applications and preparing interventions. Each such intervention requires further analysis by the Commission to complete its assessment of an application.

9. The expenditures of time and effort described above prompted the Commission to examine its procedures to find ways to reduce its workload and ensure that its scrutiny of Category 2 licence applications is conducted with greater efficiency. In January 2002, the Commission began to require applicants, as part of the initial deficiency process for Category 2 services, to provide evidence of a reasonable likelihood that the proposed service would obtain carriage by a licensed BDU. Accordingly, since that time, the Commission has not analyzed or processed any Category 2 pay and specialty service application in the absence of such evidence.

Concerns Expressed by Category 2 Applicants

10. Over the course of the past year, applicants for Category 2 services have expressed concern about the Commission's requirement that they demonstrate, as part of the deficiency process, a reasonable likelihood that their proposed services would receive carriage. According to these parties, the requirement is prejudicial to applicants for Category 2 licences. They stressed the importance of the Commission's approval, especially to smaller, independent players or new entrants, in negotiating a carriage agreement, and the difficulty of obtaining such an agreement, or even evidence that such an agreement might be possible, in the absence of the Commission's approval. They also noted the gate-keeping role that could be played by distributors in selecting which Category 2 services would be provided with letters of carriage. Further, they expressed concern about the potential difficulty that the requirement creates for them in protecting their concepts and plans for new services prior to the gazetting of an application by the Commission.

Call for Comments

11. The Commission acknowledges the concerns expressed by applicants for Category 2 services. At the same time, the Commission underscores the importance of making the most efficient and effective use of its resources. With a view to ensuring that all applicants continue to receive fair and equitable treatment, and that the objectives identified by the Commission in Public Notice 2000-6 are respected, the Commission invites comments on the following:

— Is the requirement that a reasonable likelihood of carriage be demonstrated before an application is deemed to be complete the most appropriate way to balance the Commission's objectives of ensuring an open and flexible licensing framework and making the best use of its resources?

— Are there alternative approaches the Commission could take that would permit it to better balance resource demands with the objective of a fair and more open-entry licensing framework?

— Would an approach based on processing applications for Category 2 undertakings only at specific time intervals be reasonable? If so, what would be the most appropriate time interval?

— What other possible approaches could be considered for dealing with Category 2 services that would be consistent with the Broadcasting Act, the approach set out in Public Notice 2000-6, and the requirements of efficient regulation?

12. The Commission will accept comments that it receives on or before June 16, 2003. The Commission will not formally acknowledge comments. It will, however, fully consider all comments, and they will form part of the public record of the proceeding, provided that the procedures for filing set out in the notice have been followed.
