Vol. 139, No. 49 — December 3, 2005 Regulations Amending the Canadian Aviation Regulations (Parts I and III)Statutory authority Aeronautics Act Sponsoring department Department of Transport
REGULATORY IMPACT (This statement is not part of the Regulations.) Description General These proposed Regulations Amending the Canadian Aviation Regulations (Parts I and III) will revise Subpart 3 Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting at Airports and Aerodromes of Part III Aerodromes and Airports (Subpart 303) to include criteria which must be satisfied before a certified airport will be required to provide an on-site aircraft firefighting service and will revoke Subpart 8 Aircraft Emergency Intervention at Airports of Part III (Subpart 308). These two subparts deal with the requirements for the provisions of firefighting services at Canadian airports and aerodromes and of emergency intervention at Canadian airports. Subpart 303 applies to the 28 airports listed in the schedule attached to it. These airports are required to provide on-site aircraft firefighting vehicles and personnel to respond to an aircraft emergency. The inclusion of an airport on the schedule was intended to ensure that the largest and busiest Canadian airports provide on-site aircraft firefighting services. Operators of airports or aerodromes may also voluntarily choose to meet the requirements of Subpart 303 (such airports or aerodromes are termed in Subpart 303 "participating airports or aerodromes"). In any case, airports providing the aircraft rescue and firefighting services set forth in Subpart 303 are obligated to comply with standards based on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards for these services. The lack of criteria in the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) for determining to which airports or aerodromes Subpart 303 should apply makes it difficult to identify airports or aerodromes where an increase in the movement of emplaned and deplaned passengers necessitates the provision of on-site aircraft firefighting services or those where, because of a reduction in the movement of emplaned and deplaned passengers, on-site aircraft firefighting services are no longer required. These proposed amendments will introduce statistical criteria to determine the airports at which the level of passenger traffic is such as to necessitate the provision of on-site aircraft firefighting services. Resources will be more efficiently allocated and, thus, be more effective in ensuring on-site aircraft firefighting services at airports at which it is most likely to be required. Subpart 308 applies to those airports which are not required and those which have not voluntarily chosen to meet the requirements of Subpart 303 but which meet the following criteria: there are movements by aircraft in respect of which a type certificate has been issued authorizing the transport of 20 or more passengers; these aircraft are operated in an air transport service (see footnote 1) under Subpart 701 Foreign Air Operations or Subpart 705 Airline Operations; (see footnote 2) and the schedule of movements of these aircraft is available to the operator of the airport at least 30 days in advance. The requirements imposed by Subpart 308 are less burdensome than those mandated under Subpart 303. The airports to which Subpart 308 applies are not designated as international airports and, therefore, are not required to meet the ICAO standards. Subpart 308 has been unpopular with many stakeholders in the aviation community and has been the subject of ongoing representation for its revocation. With the revocation of Subpart 308, the tension between members of the airport management community and officials from Transport Canada is expected to be alleviated. Better working relations would enable both parties to co-operate in introducing safety management systems (SMS) and proposed new regulations related to airport emergency planning into the airport environment. An amendment to introduce the concept of safety management systems into the CARs was published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, on June 15, 2005. (see footnote 3) The expected result of this initiative is the fostering of stronger safety cultures within the civil aviation industry and, as a consequence, the improvement of safety practices. A proposal to extend the provisions of the concept of safety management systems to apply to airports is under consultation with stakeholders. The forthcoming proposal addressing airport emergency response planning will provide the criteria necessary for planning to respond to emergencies at all certified airports in Canada, based on the level of traffic and the type of aircraft using the airport. By introducing these new regulatory provisions, Transport Canada will require airport operators to revisit their safety culture using a safety management focus. Transport Canada expects that airport operators will be able to reach an equivalent level of safety services to that envisioned in the provisions of Subpart 308 while retaining the flexibility to manage the resources they have available more efficiently. Specific Part I (General Provisions) Part I contains definitions affecting more than one part of the CARs and administrative provisions applicable to all parts of the CARs. Proposed changes to the Schedule Designated Provisions which is attached to Subpart 103 Administration and Compliance will add maximum monetary penalties which may be assessed for non-compliance with provisions proposed in this amendment to the CARs. References to sections in Subpart 308 which are being repealed will be removed from the Schedule. Part III (Aerodromes and Airports) Part III Aerodromes and Airports of the CARs comprises rules governing the operation of civilian aerodromes and airports in Canada. These proposed amendments to Part III include the proposed introduction of statistical criteria in Subpart 303 to identify which airports will be required to provide on-site aircraft firefighting services and the proposed revocation of Subpart 308. As an element of these proposed amendments, the schedule attached to Subpart 303 Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting at Airports which lists the 28 designated airports to which the requirements of Subpart 303 apply will be removed from the Regulations. As well, the definition of "designated airport" as "an airport set out in the schedule to this Subpart" will be repealed. A one-year delay from the date of registration of these Regulations until the repeals of the schedule and of the definition take effect will ensure there is no hiatus in coverage at the busiest airports as a result of the proposed amendments. A proposed amendment to section 303.02 Application will introduce a requirement that an airport must provide an on-site aircraft firefighting service in accordance with the provisions of Subpart 303 when more than 180 000 emplaned and deplaned passengers use the airport per year. Section 303.06 Aircraft Movement Statistics will be retitled as Statistics on the Number of Passengers and Aircraft Movements. This proposed change will better describe the provisions included in this section. A requirement for the operator of an airport or an aerodrome to review, at least once every 6 months, the statistics in respect of the number of emplaned and deplaned passengers resulting from the Electronic Collection of Air Transportation Statistics project, (see footnote 4) carried out jointly by the Department of Transport and Statistics Canada, for the 12 months preceding the review is proposed to be introduced in this section. The operator of an airport or an aerodrome will be required to determine from the review of statistics whether the airport or aerodrome is required to provide on-site aircraft firefighting services. A further proposed amendment to section 303.06 will provide that the Minister may grant an application by the operator of an airport which has been required to provide an aircraft firefighting service to cease providing that service if the operator can demonstrate by means of a risk analysis based on Standard CAN/CSA-Q850-97 entitled Risk Management: Guideline for Decision-makers, as amended from time to time, that the cessation of the aircraft firefighting service will not result in an unacceptable risk to aviation safety. An operator of an airport for which the Minister has authorized the cessation of an on-site firefighting service shall submit the content of the authorization for publication in the Canada Flight Supplement and in a NOTAM, (see footnote 5) if the NOTAM is published earlier than the next edition of the Supplement. Editorial amendments throughout Subpart 303 will be necessary as a consequence of the above-proposed amendments. The complete revocation of Subpart 308 is included in these proposed Regulations Amending the Canadian Aviation Regulations (Parts I and III). Alternatives The rationalization of regulations relating to the provision of aircraft firefighting services at Canadian airports and aerodromes and of emergency intervention at Canadian airports can only be accomplished by amendment of the Canadian Aviation Regulations. Departmental officials have determined that these proposed amendments are the most effective and efficient means of achieving that rationalization. The continuance of the status quo is not a viable situation. Subpart 303 provides no ready means of identifying airports where an increase in the movement of emplaned and deplaned passengers necessitates the provision of aircraft firefighting services or of those where, because of a reduction in the movement of emplaned and deplaned passengers, aircraft firefighting services are no longer required. Subpart 308 has been highly controversial and has been the subject of ongoing representation for its revocation. Among firefighters, it is perceived as not restrictive enough. Airport operators and air operators perceive it as too restrictive and too costly. Because of the difficulties for many airport operators in implementing the provisions of Subpart 308, an exemption was issued prior to the date on which airport operators would have been required to meet its provisions. This exemption relieves the operators from the requirement to provide aircraft emergency intervention services. It will cease to be in effect as of December 31, 2005. The most contentious issue with respect to Subpart 308 has been to which airports the provisions should be applicable. The criteria included in the present proposal have been reached during consultation with the airport operator community with the intention of providing coverage for over 90% of passengers on aircraft operated by commercial air transport services without imposing an undue burden on the aviation community. The entry threshold of more than 180 000 emplaned and deplaned passengers will require most of the airports or aerodromes currently providing an aircraft firefighting service to continue to provide this service. Strategic environmental assessment A preliminary scan of this initiative has been done in accordance with the criteria of Transport Canada's Strategic Environmental Assessment Policy Statement — March 2001. It is not expected that these changes will produce effects that would be considered environmentally important. It is concluded from the preliminary scan that a detailed analysis is not necessary. Further assessments or studies regarding any other environmental effects of this initiative are not likely to yield a different determination. Benefits and costs Throughout the development of the aviation regulations and standards Transport Canada applies risk management concepts. Where there are risk implications, the analysis of these proposed amendments to the CARs has led to the conclusion that the imputed risk is acceptable in light of the expected benefits. As a consequence of the proposed amendments to Subpart 303, six airports currently on the schedule will be able to discontinue providing on-site aircraft firefighting services if they so desire. Two airports which are not, at present, on the schedule but have voluntarily chosen to provide on-site aircraft firefighting services will be obliged to continue to provide such services in the future. Three airports which do not, at present, provide on-site aircraft firefighting services will be obliged to begin providing them. Although the individual airports affected will experience financial impacts from these proposed changes, overall, there is expected to be minimum financial impact on the aviation community and the Canadian economy from the proposed amendments to Subpart 303. Those airports which have been expected to be required to provide an emergency intervention service in line with the provisions in Subpart 308 will no longer need to anticipate the costs associated with these provisions. There will be relief from the need to allocate approximately $5 million for future annual operating costs for these airports. These funds will become available to be applied to performance-based site-specific plans at these airports to be developed under the proposal for airport emergency planning which is to be introduced into the CARs. A more efficient allocation of these resources will be possible. With the revocation of Subpart 308, the tension between members of the airport management community and the Department of Transport will be alleviated. Better working relations will enable both parties to cooperate in introducing safety management systems (SMS) and proposed new regulations related to airport emergency planning into the airport environment. These new programs will assist airport operators in providing services offering an equivalent level of safety to that envisioned in the provisions of Subpart 308 while retaining the flexibility to manage the resources they have available more efficiently. The expected benefits from these proposed amendments to Part III include more consistent identification of those airports at which on-site aircraft rescue and firefighting services are necessary; the release of resources earmarked for Subpart 308 provisions to be allocated to improve safety in other areas at the affected airports; and an improvement in the relationship between members of the airport community and Departmental officials which will prepare the way for the introduction of safety management systems and the initiative addressing airport emergency planning. Since the provisions of Subpart 308 have not been implemented, there will be no cost impact on the Canadian economy from a removal of an existing service. Summary of benefits and costs The introduction of explicit criteria for airports which will be required to provide on-site aircraft firefighting services under Subpart 303 will allow a prompt and predictable response to increased traffic requiring the introduction of such services. A process will be introduced in requirements linked to reduced traffic which allows for the suspension of such services at specific sites. Resources will be more efficiently allocated and, thus, be more effective in ensuring emergency protection at airports at which it is most likely to be required. Since the provisions of Subpart 308 have not been implemented, there will be no removal of services at any location. The introduction of the provisions for safety management systems at Canadian airports and for site-specific emergency response planning are expected to compensate for the revocation of the provisions in Subpart 308. On balance, the benefits provided by the improvement of resource allocation and the alleviation of tension among those responsible for the safety of Canadian airports are likely to outweigh any costs resulting from the proposed amendments. These proposed amendments to the CARs are anticipated to have a positive benefit-cost impact. Consultation Industry stakeholders were extensively consulted on the introduction of Subpart 308. A summary of these consultations can be found in the Canada Gazette, Part II, Vol. 136, No. 13, June 19, 2002, or at the Transport Canada, Regulatory Services' Web site. (see footnote 6) Because of the adamantly held polarized positions and resulting lack of consensus with respect to the provisions contained in Subpart 308 even after extensive consultation, Departmental officials did not feel that additional Canadian Aviation Regulation Advisory Council (CARAC) Technical Committee consultations with respect to any of these provisions would be productive. Therefore, consultation on the proposed Regulations Amending the Canadian Aviation Regulations (Parts I and III) was limited to separate discussions with various stakeholder representatives. Meetings were held in February 2005 between senior Departmental officials and the representatives of the Air Transport Association of Canada (ATAC) and of the Canadian Airports Council (CAC). Further discussions took place between senior officials and representatives of the CAC and the Regional Community Airports Coalition of Canada (RCACC) in March 2005. Interested parties have been informed of the intention to pre-publish this proposal by means of a letter which was sent in June 2005 to members of the CARAC Aerodromes and Airports (A & A) Technical Committee informing them of the proposal and of the intention to pre-publish it in the Canada Gazette, Part I. A list of the recipients is provided in the Appendix to this Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement. As is standard CARAC Secretariat practice, copies of the information pre-published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, will be provided to all members of the Technical Committee immediately following the public presentation in the Canada Gazette, Part I. Compliance and enforcement These proposed amendments to the Canadian Aviation Regulations will be enforced through the assessment of monetary penalties imposed under sections 7.6 to 8.2 of the Aeronautics Act, through suspension or cancellation of a Canadian aviation document or through judicial action introduced by way of summary conviction as per section 7.3 of the Aeronautics Act.
