Therefore, the Minister of the Environment indicates, pursuant to section 85 of that Act, that subsection 81(4) of the same Act applies with respect to the substance in accordance with the Annex.

PETER KENT
Minister of the Environment

ANNEX

Information Requirements

(Section 85 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999)

1. The following definition applies in this Significant New Activity Notice:

“substance” means Bismuth sulfide (Bi₂S₃), where the substance is engineered to contain particles of particle size ranging from 1 to 100 nanometres.

2. For the purpose of this Notice, a significant new activity is the use of the substance in quantities greater than 10 kg per calendar year.

3. A person who proposes a significant new activity set out in this Notice for this substance shall provide to the Minister of the Environment, at least 90 days before the day on which the quantity of the substance involved in the activity exceeds 10 kg per calendar year, the following information:

(a) a description of the proposed significant new activity in relation to the substance;

Notice No. SMSE-010-11 — Consultation on Spectrum Utilization of Frequency Bands 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz and 92-95 GHz by the Fixed Service

The intent of this notice is to initiate, through the release of the above-mentioned document, a second round of public consultation on Industry Canada’s proposed policy for the use of the bands 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz and 92-95 GHz by the fixed service.

Discussion

The Department has been approached by the wireless industry to make available the bands 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz and 92-95 GHz to the fixed service in support of the deployment of broadband applications. The unique propagation conditions that exist in these millimetre-wave frequency bands and the use of highly directional pencil-sized beams can provide for gigabit capacity in a spectrum environment where close proximity deployments can be achieved while minimizing the potential for interference.

This consultation provides an opportunity to comment on the future use of these bands by the fixed service, including designation, band plan, technical characteristics and the licensing approach.

Submitting comments

Interested parties should submit their comments no later than October 21, 2011. Soon after the close of the comment period, all comments received and any other relevant information will be posted on Industry Canada’s Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Web site at www.ic.gc.ca/spectrum.

Respondents are requested to provide their comments in electronic format (WordPerfect, Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF) to the following email address: spectrum.engineering@ic.gc.ca, along with a note specifying the software, version number and operating system used.

Written submissions should be addressed to the Director General, Engineering, Planning and Standards Branch, Industry Canada, 300 Slater Street, 19th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0C8.

All submissions should cite Canada Gazette, Part I, the publication date, the title and the notice reference number (SMSE-010-11).
