DAVID ANDERSON
Minister of the Environment
Response to Comments Received on Proposed Agreement Respecting Canada-wide Standards for Benzene Phase 2
Introduction
In accordance with subsection 9(2) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA, 1999), the Minister of the Environment published the proposed agreement respecting Canada-wide Standards (CWSs) for Benzene — Phase 2. The proposed agreement was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on June 30, 2001, for a 60-day comment period. The proposed agreement was developed by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) under the framework of the Canada-wide Accord on Environmental Harmonization and the Canada-wide Environmental Standards Sub-Agreement. CCME Ministers (except Quebec) intend to sign the agreements at their next meeting, September 22 and 23, 2001.
In accordance with subsection 9(4) of CEPA,1999 this report summarizes how the comments received were dealt with. No notices of objection were filed.
Response to Comments
A total of two comments from a public health authority were received. An additional submission was received from industry, not containing specific comments but indicating full support for the proposed agreement. The following table summarizes the comments received and Environment Canada's response.
Table 1: Comments and Response on the CWS for Benzene — Phase 2
| Comments |
Response |
1. Other sources
Include actions in the Phase 2 agreement on lowering benzene (or hydrocarbons) releases from:
— on-road and off-road diesel fuel; and
— emission control technologies on on-road and off-road diesel
vehicles and stationary engines. |
The February, 2001 Notice of Intent on Cleaner Vehicles, Engines and Fuels, includes the development of proposed emissions regulations for on- and off-road vehicles and engines. These emission regulations will address hydrocarbon emissions from diesel vehicles and engines and will reduce benzene emissions from these sources. Environment Canada plans to continue its approach of generally aligning Canadian environmental fuel requirements with those of the United States. |
2. Reporting Requirements
The reporting requirements should include information on estimated residual risk, which corresponds to ambient air concentration data, to human health due to benzene. |
Environment Canada and Health Canada recognize the importance of reducing
health risks from the presence of benzene, a non-threshold carcinogen.
The combined benefits of Phases 1 and 2 will reduce them well below
those in many other developed countries. The implementation of Phase
1 has already resulted in the reduction of national average levels
of ambient benzene by approximately 30%, based on 1995 levels. Implementation
of Phase 2 will see a further reduction of benzene emissions of over
10%. |
| |
Although the statistical relationship between the percentage of ambient reduction target of benzene and residual health risks is difficult to quantify, these CWS targets were developed to reduce the health risks. For example, a 30% reduction in emissions from 1995 emission levels is expected to result in 11 fewer incidences of cancer (acute myeloid leukemia) over a 20-year period. |

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE
CUSTOMS TARIFF
Invitation to Submit Views on Requests for Accelerated Elimination of Tariffs Under the North American Free Trade Agreement
Initiation of Domestic Consultations
The Government's objective in the domestic consultations is to obtain information from interested parties on the potential advantages and disadvantages of accelerated elimination of customs duties under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on products covered by Canadian and Mexican tariff provisions set out in the two accompanying lists.
The first list contains requests for accelerated tariff elimination that are being considered by Canada and Mexico on goods traded between those two countries. Since any agreement to eliminate tariffs is normally done on a reciprocal basis, no distinction is made between Canadian and Mexican requests. The Government is seeking views from interested parties and is prepared to undertake negotiations with Mexico on those requests which are in Canada's interest and which enjoy support in the industry concerned.
The second list contains requests for accelerated tariff elimination that are being considered by the United States and Mexico on goods traded between those two countries. The Government is seeking views from interested parties and is prepared to undertake negotiations with Mexico on those requests which are in Canada's interest and which enjoy support in the industry concerned.
The Government will be consulting with the Sectoral Advisory Groups on International Trade (SAGIT), provinces, and major associations as the primary source for seeking views.
Inquiries regarding the Mexican Tariff Schedule of the General Import Duty Act should be addressed to the Secretaria de Economia, Alfonso Reyes 30, Piso 18, 0179 México D.F.
Interested Party Submissions
Any interested party is invited to submit views to the Government at the address at the end of this notice. All submissions must be received no later than October 15, 2001. Submissions should:
(a) identify the tariff items and products being addressed;
(b) clearly indicate support or opposition to the proposed tariff acceleration with respect to each country's tariff that is under consideration;
(c) provide precise information on the reasons for this position. For example, interested parties should state the impact tariff acceleration would have on their operations, including employment and production in Canada, and on their import and export interests.
Background
The NAFTA, which came into effect on January 1, 1994, provides for the eventual elimination of most tariffs on Canadian, U.S. and Mexican goods traded between the three countries. Tariffs on some Mexican products were eliminated on January 1, 1994, while others were eliminated January 1, 1998. Remaining tariffs will be eliminated January 1, 2003. Tariffs on eligible goods traded between Canada and the United States were eliminated under the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA) January 1, 1998.
Article 302 of the NAFTA provides for accelerated elimination of duty on goods traded under the Agreement, subject to consultation and agreement between the governments of Canada, the United States and Mexico. NAFTA-accelerated tariff elimination may be bilateral or trilateral. Any country can decide not to eliminate its tariffs more quickly, but cannot prevent the other two from proceeding with accelerated tariff elimination with each other.
On May 1, 1999, a notice was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, setting out the procedures to be followed to request changes to the staging of tariff elimination under the NAFTA.
Explanation of the Lists of Requests
Requests for accelerated tariff elimination may relate to the Canadian Customs Tariff at the following levels of detail: heading (four digits), sub-heading (six digits), or tariff item (eight digits). For example, all products covered by a listed heading (four digits) are being considered for acceleration, as well as all the sub-headings, tariff items and individual products within that particular heading.
Those respondents unable to support a proposed acceleration at the entire tariff heading, sub-heading, or tariff item level, as appropriate, are requested to indicate if there are any tariff provisions, or products or goods covered by that particular heading, sub-heading, or tariff item for which they could support accelerated tariff elimination.
Organization of the Lists of Requests
The first list contains requests for accelerated tariff elimination between Canada and Mexico. The first column of each request or related group of requests contains a brief description of the products, whether it be for the entire chapter, heading, sub-heading, tariff item, or a specific product. The descriptions of the items are provided for reference only and each country's domestic tariff should be consulted for legal descriptions.
Column 2 contains the Canadian Tariff: headings, sub-headings, or tariff items related to the request received.
Column 3 contains the Mexican Tariff: headings, sub-headings, or tariff items related to the request received.
The tariff items marked with an (x) already provide duty-free entry or will provide duty-free entry January 1, 2002, for products from Mexico.
The second list contains requests for accelerated tariff elimination between the United States and Mexico. The organization of the second list is set out in the same manner as described above.
Address for Submissions
Submissions, completed in the manner outlined under the heading "Interested Party Submissions" at the start of this notice, must identify each tariff provision on which views are provided.
Submissions should be addressed to the Committee on NAFTA Acceleration, Department of Finance, 140 O'Connor Street, 14th Floor, East Tower, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G5.
Inquiries
If information is required on whether a specific product is classified under one of the tariff items in the list, in respect of the Canadian Tariff, a regional office of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency should be contacted.
General inquiries should be made in writing to the above address or by electronic mail to Beyea.Dean@fin.gc.ca, or by calling (613) 992-8790.

FOOD AND DRUGS ACT
Food and Drug Regulations — Amendment
Interim Marketing Authorization
Provision currently exists in the Food and Drug Regulations for the use of lipase enzyme, at a level of use consistent with good manufacturing practice, in the production of modified triglycerides and in flour used in the production of bread. This enzyme is obtained from a variety of sources, including several Aspergillus organisms. Health Canada has received a submission to permit the use of the lipase enzyme from Aspergillus oryzae AI-11 (pBoel 960) genetically modified to contain the lipase gene from Thermomyces lanuginosis in the production of modified triglycerides (modified fats and oils) and in flour for the production of bread.
Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness of this use of the lipase enzyme from Aspergillus oryzae AI-11 (pBoel 960) in the applications indicated above. The data demonstrated satisfactorily that the genetic modification is limited to the modified Aspergillus oryzae AI-11 (pBoel 960) organism and that the techniques used to isolate and purify the lipase enzyme from the organism produced an enzyme free from genetic material. Therefore, the resulting lipase enzyme does not transfer genetic material to the final food products.
The use of this lipase enzyme, as indicated above, will benefit consumers through the increased availability, quantity and variety of bread products and other food products made with modified triglycerides (modified fats and oils). Industry will benefit through the availability of more efficient and improved manufacturing conditions for these food products.
Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of the lipase enzyme produced by the genetically modified Aspergillus oryzae AI-11 (pBoel 960). This lipase enzyme will be permitted for use in the production of modified triglycerides (modified fats and oils) and in flour used in the production of bread. The maximum level of use for both of these applications will be consistent with good manufacturing practice.
As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, an Interim Marketing Authorization (IMA) is being issued to permit the immediate use of this lipase enzyme as indicated above while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.

Food and Drug Regulations — Amendment
Interim Marketing Authorization
Provision currently exists in the Food and Drug Regulations for the use of sodium nitrite in preserved meat or preserved meat by-product and preserved poultry meat or preserved poultry meat by-product at a maximum level of use of 200 parts per million (p.p.m.). Sodium nitrite can also be used in side bacon at a maximum level of use of 120 p.p.m.
Health Canada has received a submission for the use of sodium nitrite as a preservative in marine mammal meat (seal meat). Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness of this use for sodium nitrite.
This use of sodium nitrite will benefit consumers through the availability of a wider range of food products containing preserved marine mammal meat in the marketplace. The seal meat industry will also benefit from this use of sodium nitrite by facilitating the production of preserved marine mammal meat products.
Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of sodium nitrite as a preservative in marine mammal meat at a maximum level of use of 200 p.p.m.
As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, an Interim Marketing Authorization (IMA) is being issued to permit the immediate use of sodium nitrite as indicated above while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.
