Vol. 139, No. 41 — October 8, 2005 GOVERNMENT NOTICESDEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FOOD AND DRUGS ACT Food and Drug Regulations — Amendment Interim Marketing Authorization Provisions currently exist in Table V to section B.16.100 of the Food and Drug Regulations for the use of the enzyme lipase, obtained from various sources of micro-organisms, in bread, flour, unstandardized bakery products and edible fats and oils at levels consistent with good manufacturing practice. Health Canada has received a submission to permit the use of the lipase enzyme obtained from a genetically modified strain of Aspergillus oryzae (designated BECh2#3 [pCaHj559]) that carries a hybrid gene from Thermomyces lanuginosus/Fusarium oxysporum coding for this enzyme. This enzyme would be intended for use in bread, flour, unstandardized bakery products, egg yolk/whole egg modification and for the hydrolysis of lecithin. Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness of the lipase enzyme obtained from the genetically modified Aspergillus oryzae BECh2#3 (pCaHj559). The use of the lipase enzyme obtained from this new source will benefit the consumer through the availability of quality food products. It will also benefit industry through more efficient and improved manufacturing conditions. Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of the genetically modified Aspergillus oryzae BECh2#3 (pCaHj559) as a production organism for the enzyme lipase used in bread, flour, unstandardized bakery products, modified egg yolk/whole egg, and the manufacture of hydrolysed lecithin at levels 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 the lipase enzyme, as indicated above, while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.

(Loi) "asphalt" means a derivate of oil that is commercially described as road or paving asphalt or unblended roofers flux, that has a specific gravity equal to or greater than one, that is solid at 15 degrees Celsius and that sinks to the bottom as a solid when immersed in water.

(droits sur les produits pétroliers en vrac (DPPV)) "designated oil handling facility" means an oil handling facility that is designated pursuant to subsection 660.2(8) of the Act and is located in WCMRC's geographic area.

Effective July 1, 2005, the bulk oil cargo fees that are payable to WCMRC in relation to an arrangement required by subsection 660.2(2) and paragraph 660.2(4)(b) of the Act are the BOCF set out in Part 1 of this Schedule. 3. Nothing in this Schedule is intended to modify, replace or amend the registration fees established by, and payable to, WCMRC and published in the August 21, 1999 edition of the Canada Gazette, Part I. 4. The total BOCF payable by a designated oil handling facility that has an arrangement with WCMRC shall be determined by multiplying the total number of tonnes of bulk oil unloaded and (in the case of bulk oil intended for international destinations and destinations north of 60° north latitude) loaded at the designated oil handling facility, by the BOCF per tonne for each type of oil set out in sections 6 and 7 of this part. 5. The total BOCF payable by a ship (bulk oil) shall be determined (a) in the case of bulk oil loaded onto the ship (bulk oil) and intended for international destinations and destinations north of 60° north latitude, by multiplying the total number of tonnes of bulk oil loaded at an oil handling facility that is within WCMRC's geographical area, and that does not have an arrangement with WCMRC, by the BOCF per tonne for each type of oil set out in sections 6 and 7 of this part; (b) in the case of bulk oil unloaded from the ship (bulk oil), by multiplying the total number of tonnes of bulk oil unloaded at an oil handling facility that is within WCMRC's geographical area, and does not have an arrangement with WCMRC, by the BOCF per tonne for each type of oil set out in sections 6 and 7 of this part; (c) in the case of bulk oil loaded onto the ship (bulk oil) outside WCMRC's geographic area which is transferred within WCMRC's geographic area to another ship for use as fuel by such ship, by multiplying the total number of tonnes of bulk oil transferred, by the BOCF per tonne for each type of oil set out in sections 6 and 7 of this part; and (d) in the case of bulk oil received by the ship (bulk oil) within WCMRC's geographic area from another ship as cargo where such bulk oil is intended for international destinations and destinations north of 60° north latitude, by multiplying the total number of tonnes of bulk oil received by the BOCF per tonne for each type of oil set out in sections 6 and 7 of this part. 6. The BOCF applicable in respect of oil other than asphalt is (a) an amended fee of sixty-seven and one-tenth cents ($0.671) per tonne, plus all applicable taxes from July 1, 2005, to December 31, 2005; and (b) an amended fee of seventy-nine and six-tenths cents ($0.796) per tonne, plus all applicable taxes from January 1, 2006. 7.

EXPLANATORY NOTE The Canada Shipping Act (CSA) was amended in 1993 to enhance the environmental protection of all Canadian waters south of 60° north latitude through the establishment of industry-funded and managed Response Organizations (ROs) capable of mounting an oil spill response to a marine-based incident. Following the government reorganization of December 12, 2003, as of April 1, 2004, the Minister of Transport is responsible for certifying that ROs meet the required standards to be formally designed as a certified RO. The Marine Safety Directorate (AMS) of the Department of Transport fulfils this responsibility on behalf of the Minister. The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) maintains responsibility for ensuring response in Canadian waters north of 60° north latitude. In accordance with the provisions of the CSA, certain ships and oil handling facilities (OHFs) are required to have an oil spill preparedness arrangement with a certified RO for the provision of response in the event of an oil spill. Four ROs, each capable of providing response to a 10 000 tonne oil spill within specified geographic areas of response, have been certified by Transport Canada as follows:
The CSA provides for the amendment of fees established by a certified RO at any time during its period of certification. WCMRC's proposal to amend its bulk oil cargo fees was published by Transport Canada on June 18, 2005, in Part I of the Canada Gazette with an effective date of July 1, 2005. The Minister approved these proposed fees, without amendment, by Order, on September 20, 2005. WCMRC established its fees in accordance with the Minister's Order on September 20, 2005. The bulk oil cargo fees which have been established by WCMRC are the bulk oil cargo fees that are payable in relation to an arrangement with WCMRC. For information regarding the Minister's Order, please contact Bonnie Leonard, Marine Safety, Transport Canada, 330 Sparks Street, 10th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N8, (613) 990-4887 (telephone), (613) 993-8196 (fax), leonarb@tc.gc.ca (email).
