REGULATORY IMPACT
ANALYSIS STATEMENT

Description

These amendments to the regulations are of a technical nature and are to come into force on the day on which they are registered. They do not reflect any substantive changes to the regulations made under the Canada Post Corporation Act, but rather

— correct minor errors in format, syntax, spelling or punctuation;

— update or clarify minor, non-substantive unclear passages; and

— revoke obsolete provisions that have no further application or effect.

The following provides information relating to the regulatory proposals for the Miscellaneous Amendment Program:

1. Materials for the Use of the Blind Regulations

— clarify that the use of Xpresspost is free of charge if mailed to an address in Canada. The Material for the Use of the Blind Regulations do not apply to Xpresspost if destined for delivery outside of Canada. For international outbound materials, another product is listed in the Regulations.

2. International Letter-post Items Regulations

— remove the reference to a green CN22 label as being displayed in Schedule I of the Regulations. By removing an example of the customs label from the Regulations and only referring to it by form name will eliminate the risk of inconsistencies, since the form layout is changed regularly. This will also allow for format changes to be made on a timely basis.

3. Canadian Armed Forces Regulations

— remove the reference to a green label as being displayed in Schedule I of the International Letter-post Items Regulations. Same label as referred to in the above-cited International Letter-post Items Regulations.

Consultation

As requested by the Canada Post Corporation Act, these amendments are published for comments in the Canada Gazette, Part I, thereby initiating a formal 60-day period in which interested persons can make representations to the Minister responsible for the Canada Post Corporation, 555 Mackenzie Avenue, 7th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0L5.

Compliance and enforcement

These Regulations are enforced by Canada Post under the Canada Post Corporation Act. No increase in the cost of enforcement is expected as a result of the proposed changes.
