[28-1-o] CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999 Notice to anyone engaged in the use of methyl bromide The Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer have agreed to phase out the production and consumption of methyl bromide. The Ninth Meeting of the Parties decided to allow for possible exemptions to these production/consumption phase-out dates in order to meet the marketplace demand for uses that are considered "critical." The Parties have established criteria and a procedure to assess nominations for "critical" use exemptions. Canada, as a signatory to the Montreal Protocol, must ensure that the requirements of this international treaty are implemented in Canada. Pursuant to subparagraphs 68(a)(ix) and 68(a)(xiii) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the following notice describes the criteria, process and schedule that the Department of the Environment will use to determine the relevance of nominations received for an exemption for a "critical" use of methyl bromide, as agreed to under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. If the nomination is accepted by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, the Party in possession of the exemption authorises the applicant to acquire the methyl bromide according to the terms of the decision. The decision will be implemented in respect to the regulatory provisions for methyl bromide and allow the production or importation of new methyl bromide after the phase-out date. The use of methyl bromide present in Canada before the phase-out date or the use of recycled or reclaimed methyl bromide does not require an application for exemption. Users of methyl bromide are hereby invited to submit, for exemptions for the year 2006, prior to August 16, 2004, their nominations for such "critical" use exemptions, as described in this notice.
BERNARD MADÉ
I. Introduction The Fourth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer agreed to add methyl bromide to the list of ozone-depleting substances subject to control. The Seventh Meeting of the Parties agreed to phase out the production and consumption (see footnote 1) of methyl bromide by January 1, 2010. The Ninth Meeting of the Parties revised the phase-out date to January 1, 2005, and established interim reduction steps. The Ninth Meeting of the Parties agreed to allow for possible exemptions to this production/consumption phase-out date in order to meet the marketplace demand for uses that are considered "critical." The Parties established, (Decision IX/6), criteria to assess nominations for "critical" use exemptions. The Parties also agreed, (Decision IX/7), to allow the use, in response to an emergency event, of quantities not exceeding 20 tonnes of methyl bromide. Canada, as a signatory to the Montreal Protocol, must ensure that the requirements of this international treaty are implemented in Canada. Canada has developed a domestic control program to do so. In 1995, Canada's Ozone Layer Protection Program was revised and it was decided that methyl bromide would be phased out by January 1, 2001. In 1998, because of the change in position of Canada's major trading partners regarding their domestic phase-out date, Canada changed its position and decided to adopt the international phase-out schedule. II. Criteria for "critical" use For the implementation in Canada of the Montreal Protocol requirements, a use of methyl bromide shall qualify as "critical" if and only if the following conditions are met: (1) the specific use is "critical" because the lack of availability of methyl bromide for that use would result in a significant market disruption; (see footnote 2) and (2) there are no technically and economically feasible alternatives or substitutes available (see footnote 3) to the user that are acceptable from the standpoint of environment and health and are suitable to the crops and circumstances of the nomination. Furthermore, consumption, if any, of methyl bromide for "critical" uses after the phase-out date shall be permitted only if the following conditions are met: (3) all technically and economically feasible steps have been taken to minimize the "critical" use and any associated emission of methyl bromide; (4) the methyl bromide is not available in sufficient quantity and quality from existing stocks of banked or recycled methyl bromide; and (5) it is demonstrated that an appropriate effort is being made to evaluate, commercialize and secure national regulatory approval of alternatives and substitutes. It must be demonstrated (see footnote 4) that research programmes are in place to develop and deploy alternatives and substitutes. III. Process The process that leads to decisions on "critical" use exemptions consists of a domestic process and an international process. The domestic process is as follows: (01) An organization (user) in Canada makes an application for a "critical" use exemption to Environment Canada. This application must fulfil the information requirements identified in section V of this document. Contact information Written submissions must be received at the following address by August 16, 2004: Section Head, Ozone Protection Programs Section, Chemicals Control Branch, Environment Canada, Place Vincent Massey, 12th Floor, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0H3. (02) Environment Canada sends the application to the Methyl Bromide Critical Use Advisory Committee. The advisory committee consists of independent experts who are knowledgeable on the alternatives available and pest problems faced by the sector for which the exemption is requested. Advisory committee The advisory committee will, at a minimum, consist of representatives from
Environment Canada — Chair
The purpose of the advisory committee is to advise and evaluate applications and forward to Environment Canada its recommendations concerning the applications. (03) The advisory committee submits its recommendation to Environment Canada, including conditions on how the substance should be used. (04) Environment Canada makes a decision, in consultation with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada when an agricultural sector is implicated, and informs the applicant. (05) If not satisfied, the applicant can appeal a decision to the Minister of the Environment. The international process is as follows: (06) Nomination: Canada submits its "critical" use nomination to the Ozone Secretariat of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) by January 31 of the year in which a decision is required; earlier submissions are encouraged. (see footnote 5) The nomination would be valid for a period commencing on January 1 of the year following the decision or as specified in the decision. (07) Assignment: The Ozone Secretariat forwards the nominations to the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP). (08) Review: The TEAP reviews the nomination to determine if it meets the criteria for a "critical" use established by Decision IX/6 and either recommends the nomination to the Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG) of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol or reports that it is unable to recommend the nomination. The TEAP report to the OEWG is due by April 30 of the year of decision. (09) Evaluation: The Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG) reviews the TEAP report and recommends a decision for consideration by the Parties. (10) Decision: The Meeting of the Parties decides whether to allow production for "critical" use in accordance with the Montreal Protocol. The Parties may attach conditions to their approval. (11) National decision: The Party in possession of a "critical" use exemption authorizes the applicant to acquire the methyl bromide according to the terms of the decision. (12) Execution of authorization: The applicant exercises its authorization to use methyl bromide according to the terms of the decision. Note: The Montreal Protocol authorizes but does not require production; each applicant must locate a willing supplier and negotiate supply. IV. Timetable The domestic timetable for the submission of nominations for "critical" use exemption is as follows:
The international timetable for the submission of nominations for "critical" use exemption is as follows:
V. Information requirements The forms recommended for nominations can be obtained by contacting Nancy Seymour, Ozone Protection Program Section, Chemicals Control Branch, Environment Canada, Place Vincent Massey, 12th Floor, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0H3, (819) 994-1109 (telephone), nancy.seymour@ec.gc.ca (electronic mail). The forms call for information in the following areas:
— market significance of use;
Note that — A separate application should be submitted for each commodity/use for which the applicant is seeking an exemption. — The amount of methyl bromide requested in the application for "critical" use exemption cannot exceed the average quantity of methyl bromide used in the two years prior to the first year for which the use is nominated for exemption. — The TEAP recommended to the Parties that nominations which were granted multi-year exemptions be reviewed annually for quantities required and biennially for essentiality. VI. Canadian assessment of nominations Only the Government of Canada, as a Party to the Protocol, may nominate "critical" use exemptions for Canada. Organizations and/or individuals interested in obtaining an exemption for methyl bromide after 2004 are hereby invited to submit nominations to Environment Canada. Environment Canada will evaluate all nominations received in order to decide whether to support them for international review using the following process and schedule. (1) Applicants for "critical" use exemptions must demonstrate that all elements of the "critical" use criteria described above have been met. Applications must contain all the information elements. (2) Nominations will be rigorously evaluated in consultation with independent recognized experts, other government departments and non-government organizations that will have complete access to all submitted information. (3) The final decision to accept any nomination or to forward any nomination for international consideration rests with the Government of Canada. (4) No nomination will be accepted from an applicant that has not had a methyl bromide allowance or used methyl bromide during the past three years. (5) The quantity of methyl bromide requested by Canada for any year will not exceed 30 percent of Canada's initial baseline consumption allowance.

[28-1-o] Under the Montreal Protocol, "consumption" refers to the trade (production + import - export) of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), and not to the use of ODSs. For "critical" uses, significant market disruption would mean the loss of an industry sector or production sector (e.g. one crop), not just the loss of one company or facility, unless a single company represents a large portion of the market. The onus would be on industry to demonstrate that there are no alternatives or substitutes available. The onus would be on industry to demonstrate that research programmes are in place. It is possible to present exemption nominations two years in advance of the year the exemption is required in order to get a decision one year in advance of the phase-out date. The length of time required to obtain a ministerial decision can vary. S.C. 1999, c. 33 S.C. 1999, c. 33 Supplement, Canada Gazette, Part I, January 31, 1998 S.C. 2002, c. 24, s. 4 |
