CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999

Notice of Report

Whereas on July 27, 2002, the Minister of the Environment published in Part I of the Canada Gazette, pursuant to subsection 9(2) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the proposed Administrative Agreement Between the Government of Quebec and the Government of Canada Regarding the Implementation in Quebec of the Federal Regulations Pertaining to the Pulp and Paper Sector,

Whereas the Minister of the Environment has received comments with respect thereto,

Now therefore, pursuant to subsection 9(4) of the Act, the Minister of the Environment hereby publishes the attached report that summarizes how the comments were dealt with.

DAVID ANDERSON

Minister of the Environment

Response to Comments Received on the Proposed Administrative Agreement Between the Government of Quebec and the Government of Canada Regarding Implementation in Quebec of the Federal Regulations Pertaining to the Pulp and Paper Sector

Introduction

In accordance with subsection 9(2) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Minister of the Environment published the proposed Administrative Agreement Between the Government of Quebec and the Government of Canada Regarding Implementation in Quebec of the Federal Regulations Pertaining to the Pulp and Paper Sector (Canada-Quebec Agreement). The proposed Canada-Quebec Agreement was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on July 27, 2002, for a 60-day comment period. It was developed by the Government of Quebec, Environment Canada's Regional Offices, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

In accordance with subsection 9(4) of CEPA 1999, this report summarizes how the comments received were dealt with. No notices of objection were received.

Response to Comments

One submission was received from an industry stakeholder. The following table summarizes the comment received and Environment Canada's response.

Table 1: Comments and Responses on the proposed Administrative Agreement Between the Government of Quebec and the Government of Canada Regarding Implementation in Quebec of the Federal Regulations Pertaining to the Pulp and Paper Sector

Comments	Response
Although it accepts the proposed draft agreement, the industry stakeholder mentions in its observations that it hopes for the negotiation of an equivalency agreement by the governments.	Section 10 of CEPA 1999 enables the federal government, within prescribed limits, to enter into an equivalency agreement with a province whereby provincial requirements are enforced in place of the equivalent CEPA 1999 regulation(s). It is possible, therefore, if prescribed conditions are met, for the federal government to allow the Minister of the Environment to enter into an equivalency agreement with the Province of Quebec respecting the two CEPA 1999 Regulations: Pulp and Paper Mill Effluent Chlorinated Dioxins and Furans Regulations and the Pulp and Paper Mill Defoamer and Wood Chip Regulations. Although this idea was contemplated, following discussions with the Quebec Government it was decided that entering into an equivalency agreement with respect to the CEPA 1999 regulations was not justified, as these regulations apply to few plants in Quebec. (i.e. 9 out of 62 pulp and paper mills that are in operation in Quebec.) In addition, the Fisheries Act does not authorize the federal government to enter into an equivalency agreement. As the Pulp and Paper Mill Effluent Regulations are made under the Fisheries Act, no equivalency agreement can be proposed for these regulations. Given the above-mentioned legal and situational limitations, both governments believe that the proposed draft administrative agreement will lead to the kind of federal-provincial co-operation that is desirable in order to reduce administrative duplications resulting from their respective regulations.
The industry stakeholder points out that despite the Agreement, there are still some discrepancies between federal and provincial regulatory requirements.	As the federal and provincial governments each have the authority to legislate in the area of environmental protection, there is a potential for the occurrence of regulatory discrepancies and administrative duplication for the affected industry when similar regulatory requirements are required by both governments. In order to reduce this discrepancy and duplication, both federal and provincial governments recognize that co-operation is desirable to allow each to better exercise their respective authorities. To illustrate the co-operation between both government jurisdictions, the three federal pulp and paper regulations (see footnote 1) were developed by a federal/provincial working group in order to prevent their respective regulations from causing undue administrative burdens for the industry, and to minimize discrepancies in regulatory requirements across the country. Furthermore, in order to streamline the administration of these federal regulations, a number of federal/provincial agreements affecting the pulp and paper sector have been negotiated and put in place. Although some discrepancies remain between the federal and Quebec requirements in the pulp and paper sector, the Canada-Quebec Agreement is intended to minimize administrative duplication, by having the Government of Quebec serve as the principal point of contact for the pulp and paper sector, and by allowing the pulp and paper sector to submit to the Government of Quebec most of the data required by the three federal pulp and paper regulations.
The industry stakeholder has also commented that visits to mill locations by both federal and provincial agents is duplicative.	The draft agreement clearly states that, once entered into, the Governments of Quebec and Canada each retain their respective authorities to apply their laws and regulations. The visits to mill facilities by agents of the federal government are undertaken to verify the compliance of the mills with federal regulations.

Significant New Activity Notice
(Section 85 of the Canadian Environmental
Protection Act, 1999)

Whereas the Ministers of Health and of the Environment have assessed information in respect of the substance Fatty acids, C12-14-tertiary, glycidyl esters, reaction products with triethylenetetramine, CAS Registry Number 68187-39-3,

Whereas the substance is not on the Domestic Substances List,

A significant new activity involving the substance is using it for any purpose other than using it as a component of an epoxy curing agent for use in industrial facilities.

The following information must be provided to the Minister, at least 90 days prior to the beginning of the proposed new activity:

New Substances Notification Regulations

The above information will be assessed within 90 days of its being provided to the Minister.

DAVID ANDERSON

Minister of the Environment

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This explanatory note is not part of the Significant New Activity Notice.)

A Significant New Activity Notice (SNAc Notice) is a legal document issued by the Minister of the Environment, that lists the activities for a given substance in Canada for which there has been no finding of toxicity under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999). The requirements prescribed in the SNAc Notice indicate the appropriate information to send to the Minister for assessment prior to the commencement of a new activity as described in the SNAc Notice.

Substances that are not listed on the Domestic Substances List can only be imported or manufactured by the person who has met the requirements under sections 81 or 106 of CEPA 1999. In circumstances where a SNAc Notice is issued for a new substance, it is the responsibility of every person who transfers the physical possession or control of the substance to notify all persons to whom the possession or control is transferred of the obligation to comply with the SNAc Notice and of the obligation to notify any new activity, and all other information as described in the SNAc Notice. It is the responsibility of the users of the substance to be aware of and comply with the SNAc Notice, and to submit a SNAc Notification to the Minister prior to the commencement of a significant new activity associated with the substance.

A SNAc Notice does not constitute an endorsement by the Minister of the Environment with respect to the substance to which it relates, nor does it constitute an exemption from the application of any other laws (whether statutes, regulations or other) that may also apply to the substance or related activities.
