REGULATORY IMPACT
ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Order.)

Description

The purpose of the publication is to add substances to the Domestic Substances List (the List) and make consequential deletions from the Non-Domestic Substances List.

Subsection 66(1) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 empowers the Minister of the Environment to compile a list of substances, to be known as the Domestic Substances List, which specifies “all substances that the Minister is satisfied were, between January 1, 1984 and December 31, 1986, (a) manufactured in or imported into Canada by any person in a quantity of not less than 100 kg in any one calendar year; or (b) in Canadian commerce or used for commercial manufacturing purposes in Canada.”

For the purposes of the Act, the List is the sole basis for determining whether a substance is “existing” or “new” to Canada. Substances on the List are not subject to the requirements of the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers) made under section 89 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. Substances that are not on the List will require notification and assessment, as prescribed by these Regulations, before they can be manufactured in or imported into Canada.

The List was published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, in May 1994. However, it is not a static list and is subject, from time to time, to additions, deletions or corrections that are published in the Canada Gazette.

Subsection 87(1) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 requires the Minister to add a substance to the List where: (a) the Minister has been provided with information in respect of the substance under section 81 or 82 and any additional information or test results required under subsection 84(1); (b) the Ministers are satisfied that the substance has been manufactured in or imported into Canada by the person who provided the information in excess of (i) 1 000 kg in any calendar year, (ii) an accumulated total of 5 000 kg, or (iii) the quantity prescribed for the purposes of this section; and (c) the period for assessing the information under section 83 has expired; and (d) no conditions specified under paragraph 84(1)(a) in respect of the substance remain in effect.

Subsection 87(5) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 requires the Minister to add a substance to the List where: (a) the Minister has been provided with any information in respect of the substance under subsections 81(1) to (13) or section 82, any additional information or test results required under subsection 84(1), and any other prescribed information; (b) the period for assessing the information under section 83 has expired; and (c) no conditions specified under paragraph 84(1)(a) in respect of the substance remain in effect.

Substances added to the List, if they appear on the Non-domestic Substances List, are deleted from that List as indicated under subsection 66(3), subsection 87(1) and subsection 87(5) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.

Alternatives

The Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 sets out a process for updating the List in accordance with strict timelines. Since the substances covered by this proposal have met the criteria for addition to the List, there is no alternative to their addition.

Similarly, there is no alternative to the proposed Non-domestic Substances List deletions, since a substance cannot be on both the Non-domestic Substances List and the Domestic Substances List.

Benefits and c osts

Benefits

This amendment to the List will benefit the public, industry and governments, by identifying additional substances and by exempting them from all assessment and reporting requirements under section 81 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.

Costs

There will be no incremental costs to the public, industry or governments associated with this amendment of the List.

Competitiveness

All nominated substances are added to the List if they have been determined to be consistent with the eligibility criteria specified in the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. Thus no manufacturer or importer is disadvantaged by this amendment of the List.

Consultation

As the content of the notices associated with this amendment does not contain any information that would be subject to comment or objection by the general public, no consultation was required.

Compliance and e nforcement

The Domestic Substances List identifies substances that, for the purposes of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, are not subject to the requirements of the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers). There are no compliance or enforcement requirements associated with the List itself.
