COMING INTO FORCE 9. These Regulations come into force on the day on which they are registered. REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT (This statement is not part of the Regulations.) Description The Regulations Amending the Ship Station (Radio) Technical Regulations, 1999 (Miscellaneous Program) deal with issues raised by the Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations (SJC). The Regulations prescribe the technical characteristics, installation requirements and the operation and inspection of ship stations required by the Ship Station (Radio) Regulations, 1999, to be fitted onboard Canadian ships and foreign ships operating in Canadian waters. The SJC noted that in the French version of subsection 1(4), reference to a standard or document incorporated by reference "from time to time" is expressed as "dans son état modifié". The expression is replaced by "avec ses modifications successives" which is the expression more commonly used. The SJC pointed out that SOR/2005-137 repealed section 38 of the Regulations. Subsection 2(2) is therefore replaced to delete reference to section 38 from that provision. The French version of the portion of section 5 before paragraph (a) is amended at the suggestion of the SJC in order to clarify that the time in question in this section is the time at which the ship was at the position that is automatically provided by the radio equipment in the case of a distress alert. The SJC noted that the reference to "the performance standards in force on March 31, 2001" in paragraph 6(1)(a) of the Regulations was vague. Upon review, it was determined that the only condition that matters for the purposes of subsection 6(1) is the one set out in paragraph 6(1)(b). Paragraph 6(1)(a) is therefore repealed. The French version of subsection 6(2) is amended to clarify that provision's meaning. The SJC noted an anomaly between the English and French versions in paragraph 13(c). The English version refers to "fully" charging the batteries whereas the French version does not specify that the batteries are to be "fully" charged. The French version is amended to include the requirement. Paragraph 28(b) is amended to make the wording consistent with that used in subparagraph 25(a)(ii). The French versions of paragraphs 30(2)(a) and (b) are amended by replacing the words "et qui sont encore à bord" with the SJC's preferred wording "soient encore à bord". The SJC noted that it was not clear in the second sentence of the French version of subsection 37(1) whether "en détresse" applied to all the elements listed in front of it or just to "une personne". The subsection is amended to make it clear that all the elements are included. Contact
