Vol. 136, No. 4 — January 26, 2002 GOVERNMENT NOTICESDEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT MIGRATORY BIRDS CONVENTION ACT, 1994 Notice of Intent Notice is hereby given that the Department of the Environment proposes amendments to the Migratory Birds Regulations, pursuant to section 12 of the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994. The purpose of these amendments to Schedule I is to establish hunting season dates for 2002-2003, as well as the number of migratory game birds that may be taken or possessed during those dates. These restrictions are altered on an annual basis in response to changes in the status of migratory game bird populations. The Canadian Wildlife Service produces two discussion papers as part of its formalized annual consultation process. The November report, entitled Population Status of Migratory Game Birds in Canada, contains population and other biological information on migratory game birds, and thus provides the scientific basis for wildlife management. The proposed changes to the annual hunting regulations, which are based on population trends outlined in the November report, are included in the December report entitled Proposals to Amend the Canadian Migratory Birds Regulations. These two discussion papers are distributed to organizations and individuals with an interest in migratory game bird conservation in order to provide an opportunity for input to the development of hunting regulations in Canada. Hard copies of the above-mentioned documents may be obtained by writing to the Director General, Canadian Wildlife Service, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H3. Electronic copies may be viewed at the following address: http://www.cws-scf.ec.gc.ca/ canbird/status/index_e.htm. Interested parties who wish to comment on the proposed amendments are invited to submit their comments before February 25, 2002, to: Director General, Canadian Wildlife Service, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H3.

DAVID ANDERSON [4-1-o] FOOD AND DRUGS ACT Food and Drug Regulations — Amendment Interim Marketing Authorization Provision currently exists in the Food and Drug Regulations for the use of a number of food ingredients and food additives, such as sweetening agents, clarifying and stabilizing agents (fining agents), acidity adjusting agents and flushing agents, in the production of wine. Health Canada has received a submission to request the use of additional food ingredients and food additives during wine production. These additional substances, their related purposes of use and respective proposed maximum levels are: — acacia gum, oak chips and particles as fining agents at a maximum level of use consistent with good manufacturing practice; — polyvinylpolypyrrolidone and silicon dioxide as fining agents at a maximum level of use resulting in not more than 2 parts per million (p.p.m.) in the finished product; — malo-lactic bacteria from the genera Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc and Pediococcus as fermentation aids at a maximum level of use consistent with good manufacturing practice; — fumaric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, potassium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium citrate as acidity adjusting agents at a maximum level of use consistent with good manufacturing practice; — potassium acid tartrate as an acidity adjusting agent up to a maximum level of use of 0.42 percent; — fructose as a sweetening agent at a maximum level of use governed by good manufacturing practice; and — nitrogen as a flushing agent up to maximum levels of use governed by good manufacturing practice. In addition to the use of the above food ingredients and food additives, the submission also requested an increase in the permitted level of volatile acidity in wine from the current value of 0.13 percent to 0.21 percent weight by volume. Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness of the use of the above substances during the production of wine and of the increase in permitted level of volatile acidity in wine. The use of the substances listed above will benefit the consumers through the increased availability of quality wines. It will also benefit the industry through more efficient and improved wine production conditions. Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of the above-listed substances in the production of wine at the permitted levels of use indicated and to increase the maximum level of volatile acidity in wine. As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, an Interim Marketing Authorization (IMA) is being issued to permit the immediate use of these substances and the increase in the permitted level of volatile acidity in wine, as indicated above, while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.
