A significant new activity involving the substance is any new activity other than manufacturing it, importing it, using it or distributing it exclusively as a raw material in industrial operations in the manufacture of cured rubber articles.

A person that proposes a significant new activity set out in this notice for this substance shall provide the Minister of the Environment, at least 90 days prior to the commencement of the proposed significant new activity, with the following information:

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 pursuant to subsection 81(4) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) issued by the Minister, that lists the activities for a given substance in Canada for which there has been no finding of toxicity under the CEPA 1999. The SNAc Notice sets out the appropriate information that must be sent 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 the CEPA 1999. Under section 86 of the 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 from Environment Canada of the substance to which it relates nor an exemption from any other laws or regulations that are in force in Canada and that may apply to this substance or activities involving the substance.
