SCHEDULE 1
Plan for the assessment and management of certain substances on the Domestic Substances List and list of batch 4 Challenge substances
1. Background
The Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) required that the Government review some 23 000 Domestic Substances List (DSL) substances to determine whether they have certain characteristics which indicate that the Government should assess the risks that may be associated with their continued use in Canada. The Government recently completed this exercise—called categorization. Categorization provides a new information baseline on all identified substances, one that will allow the Government of Canada to work with its partners to achieve tangible results that protect Canadians and the environment.
The Ministers of the Environment and of Health (the Ministers) published on Saturday, December 9, 2006, in the Canada Gazette, Part I, Vol. 140, No. 49, the Notice of intent to develop and implement measures to assess and manage the risks posed by certain substances to the health of Canadians and their environment. This notice indicates that approximately 200 of the 4 300 chemical substances identified by the categorization exercise are high priorities for action because
- the Ministers consider that evidence that a substance is both persistent and bioaccumulative (according to the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations), when combined with evidence of toxicity and release into the environment, can lead to harmful ecological impacts. This indicates that the substance meets the criterion in paragraph 64(a) of CEPA 1999;
- the Ministers consider that where there is evidence that a substance for which the critical health effect is assumed to have no threshold—i.e. a mutagenic carcinogen—it is assumed that there is a probability of harm to human health at any level of exposure, and therefore indicates that the substance meets the criterion in paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999;
- the Ministers consider that evidence that a substance exhibits carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, developmental toxicity, or reproductive toxicity, and a high likelihood of exposure to individuals in Canada, indicates that the substance may meet the criterion in paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999; or
- these substances are believed to be in commerce or of commercial interest in Canada.
This notice also outlines the measures the Ministers intend to take regarding these substances to further protect the health of Canadians and the environment. These measures will
- improve, where possible, persistence and/or bioaccumulation information;
- identify industrial best practices in order to set benchmarks for risk management, product stewardship, and virtual elimination; and
- collect environmental release, exposure, substance and/or product use information.
In so doing, the Ministers will make timely risk management interventions that minimize the risk of serious or irreversible harm associated with the above substances.
Pursuant to paragraph 74(a) of the Act, the Ministers are required to conduct a screening assessment of the substances categorized under subsection 73(1) to determine if they meet the criteria established in section 64 of the Act.
The Ministers have documented for each of the 18 batch 4 Challenge substances the categorization information in their possession and have prepared documentation which (a) summarizes the scientific information and any relevant uncertainties, (b) specifies the information necessary for improved decision-making and, where appropriate, requires submission of this data using section 71, and (c) outlines how this information will be used in decisions.
Information deemed necessary for improved decision-making is being gathered via section 71 of CEPA 1999. Additional information regarding the scientific properties of these substances, or best management practices associated with the use of these substances that is deemed beneficial by interested stakeholders will be collected as detailed in the technical documentation available via the Government of Canada Chemical Substances Portal (www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca). The absence of new information will not preclude the Ministers from issuing a decision that safeguards human health and the environment.
2. Timelines
If new information for the 18 substances listed below is not received by May 16, 2008, then by no later than August 16, 2008, the Ministers will open a 60-day public comment period under subsection 77(1) on (a) the screening assessment, and (b) the proposal to pursue one of the measures as specified under subsection 77(2) and, where applicable, the implementation of virtual elimination under subsection 65(3) as specified under subsection 77(2).
If new information is received by May 16, 2008, that information will be considered and, by no later than November 15, 2008, the Ministers will open a 60-day public comment period under subsection 77(1) on (a) the summary of the scientific consideration from the screening assessment and (b) their proposal to pursue one of the measures as specified under subsection 77(2).
Discussions with stakeholders on the development of the risk management approach will be initiated at the time of the subsection 77(1) publication. The Ministers will publish their final recommendation under subsection 77(6) by no later than February 14, 2009, where no new information was received during this call for information, and by no later than May 16, 2009, where new information was received during this call for information. A risk management approach will be available at that time outlining actions which the Government proposes to take to protect Canadians and their environment from risks associated with these substances.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) required the Minister of Health and the Minister of the Environment to categorize the approximately 23 000 substances on the Domestic Substances List. Based on the information obtained through the categorization process, a number of substances have been identified by the Ministers as high priorities for action. This includes substances
- that were found to meet all of the ecological categorization criteria, including persistence, bioaccumulation potential and inherent toxicity to aquatic organisms, and that are known to be in commerce, or of commercial interest, in Canada; and/or
- that were found either to meet the categorization criteria for greatest potential for exposure or to present an intermediate potential for exposure, and were identified as posing a high hazard to human health based on available evidence on carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, developmental toxicity or reproductive toxicity.
The Challenge initiative is meant to engage stakeholders to provide new information that could improve decision-making with respect to 200 substances identified as high priorities for action.
In accordance with section 76.1 of CEPA 1999, and in the absence of additional relevant information as a result of this Challenge, the Ministers are predisposed to conclude, through a screening assessment, that a substance satisfies the definition of toxic under section 64 of CEPA 1999 in that it "may enter the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health." As such, the Ministers may then recommend to the Governor in Council that this substance be added to the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of CEPA 1999, with the intent of initiating the development of risk management measures taking into account socio-economic considerations. The measures will be subject to review in light of new scientific information, including monitoring and ongoing assessment activities.
The 200 Challenge substances are in commerce or are believed to be in commerce in Canada. Should no information be forthcoming through this Challenge to confirm that a substance is in commerce in Canada, the Ministers may conclude, through a screening assessment, that this substance is not currently in commerce in Canada and that as such it may not satisfy the definition of toxic under section 64 of CEPA 1999. However, given the hazardous properties of these substances, there is concern that new activities for the substances that have not been identified or assessed under CEPA 1999 could lead to the substances meeting the criteria set out in section 64 of the Act. Therefore, it will be recommended that these substances be subject to the Significant New Activity provisions specified under subsection 81(3) of the Act, to ensure that any new manufacture, import or use of these substances in quantities greater than 100 kg/year is notified, and that ecological and human health risk assessments are conducted as specified in section 83 of the Act prior to the substances being introduced into Canada.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the notice.)
The Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health (the Ministers) have published on December 9, 2006, in the Canada Gazette, Part I, the Notice of intent to develop and implement measures to assess and manage the risks posed by certain substances to the health of Canadians and their environment. The Ministers will implement a series of measures regarding certain substances to further protect the health of individuals in Canada and the environment from the potential effects of exposure to these substances. These measures apply to the substances identified by categorization of the Domestic Substances List as being
(a) persistent, bioaccumulative, and inherently toxic to the environment and that are known to be in commerce in Canada; and/or
(b) a high hazard to humans and as having a high likelihood of exposure to individuals in Canada.
The Ministers will implement a series of measures regarding these substances to further protect the health of individuals in Canada and the environment from the potential effects associated with exposure to these substances. These measures will
- improve, where possible, persistence and/or bioaccumulation information;
- identify industrial best practices in order to set benchmarks for risk management, product stewardship, and virtual elimination; and
- collect environmental release, exposure, substance and/or product use information.
The notice of intent, published on December 9, 2006, covered a list of 193 substances on which information will be required on a quarterly basis within the next three years. This notice, pursuant to paragraph 71(1)(b) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, requires information for the fourth batch, consisting of 18 substances. This information will assist the Ministers to complete the assessment as to whether or not the substances meet the criteria set out in section 64 of the Act, to understand the use of the substances, to assess the need for controls and to improve the information available for decision-making.
Propane, 2-methyl (CAS RN 75-28-5) and butane (CAS RN 106-97-8) are considered to be potentially high-hazard substances to humans and presenting a high likelihood of exposure to individuals in Canada. Both substances were included in the fourth batch because they may contain 1,3-butadiene (CAS RN 106-99-0).
This notice is published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, under paragraph 71(1)(b) of the Act. This notice requires the persons to whom it applies to provide certain information on their activities with respect to the substances listed in Schedule 1 to this notice.
Pursuant to subsection 71(3) of the Act, every person to whom this notice applies is required to comply with this notice within the time specified in the notice. The time specified in this notice is March 18, 2008, 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time.
Persons that do not meet the requirements to respond may complete a Declaration of Non-Engagement form for the notice. Receipt of this form will allow the Government of Canada to remove the name of these persons from further mailings pertaining to that notice. This form is available on the Chemical Substances Web site at www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca.
Persons, including companies, who have a current or future interest in any Challenge substances, may identify themselves as a "stakeholder" for the substance. Please identify the substances of interest to your company and specify your activity or potential activity with the substance (import, manufacture, use). You will be included in any future mailings regarding section 71 notices applicable for these substances and may be contacted for further information regarding your activity/interest in these substances. This form is available on the Chemical Substances Web site at www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca.
The Ministers are also inviting the submission of additional information that is deemed beneficial by interested stakeholders, relating to the extent and nature of the management/stewardship of substances listed under the Challenge. Organizations that may be interested in submitting additional information in response to this invitation include those that manufacture, import, export or use this substance whether alone, in a mixture, in a product or in a manufactured item.
A questionnaire is available which provides a detailed template as an example for the submission of this information. Guidance on how to respond to the Challenge questionnaire is also available. Copies of the stakeholder form, questionnaire and associated guidance are available on the Government of Canada Chemical Substances Web site at www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca.

MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT
Technical Standards Document No. 106, "Brake Hoses" — Revision 1
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to section 12 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act and sections 16 and 17 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations, that the Department of Transport has revised Technical Standards Document (TSD) No. 106, "Brake Hoses," which specifies labelling and performance requirements for motor vehicle brake hose, brake hose assemblies, and brake hose end fittings. Revision 1 of TSD No. 106 is effective as of the date of publication of this notice and will become enforceable six months thereafter. During this six-month interim period, the brake hose, brake hose assemblies, and brake hose end fittings with which vehicles are equipped may conform to the requirements of either Revision 0 or Revision 1.
TSD No. 106, "Brake Hoses," reproduces the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106 of the same title and is incorporated by reference in section 106 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. This revision replicates the regulatory text of the Final Rules issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation that were published in the Federal Register of December 20, 2004 (Vol. 69, No. 243, p. 76298) and October 9, 2007 (Vol. 72, No. 194, p. 57450).
This revision updates the regulatory requirements governing hydraulic brake hose, brake hose assemblies, and end fittings; vacuum brake hose, brake hose assemblies, and end fittings; and air brake hose, brake hose assemblies, and end fittings. It also adds requirements governing plastic air brake tubing, brake tubing assemblies, and end fittings.
Copies of Revision 1 of TSD No. 106 may be obtained on the Internet at www.tc.gc.ca/RoadSafety/mvstm_tsd/index_e.htm. Any inquiries should be directed to Julie Deschatelets, Regulatory Development Engineer, at the following address: Standards and Regulations Division, Road Safety and Motor Vehicle Regulation Directorate, Transport Canada, 330 Sparks Street, 8th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N5, 613-998-2506 (telephone), 613-990-2913 (fax), deschju@tc.gc.ca (email).
