Vol. 136, No. 16 — April 20, 2002 Interprovincial Movement of Hazardous Waste RegulationsStatutory Authority Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 Sponsoring Department Department of the Environment REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT Description The goal of the proposed Interprovincial Movement of Hazardous Waste Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the proposed Regulations) is to ensure that the current manifest tracking and classification requirements for the interprovincial movements of hazardous wastes are maintained. Under section 191 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Governor in Council has the authority to make regulations respecting conditions governing the movement within Canada of hazardous wastes and hazardous recyclable materials. The proposed Regulations are required as a consequence of the new Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDG Regulations), made pursuant to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992. These new TDG Regulations are scheduled to enter into force on August 15, 2002. The manifest has been used in Canada as a means to track shipments of hazardous waste since 1985, when it was first introduced under the TDG Regulations. Both the manifest and the classification process under the TDG Regulations have been used as important references for several other federal and provincial regulations on hazardous wastes and hazardous recyclable materials. The introduction in CEPA 1999 of new authority to control the movement in Canada of hazardous wastes and hazardous recyclable materials signaled the intention of the Government of Canada to transfer the manifest tracking requirements from the TDG Regulations to regulations under CEPA 1999. This approach is reflected in the new TDG Regulations. The new TDG Regulations do not include specific sections concerning the manifesting of hazardous waste, nor do they continue to define waste for the purpose of controlling wastes and recyclable materials as a separate category of dangerous goods. In order to maintain the current manifest system, these requirements must be included in the proposed Regulations. In addition, the new Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations modifies the way in which miscellaneous dangerous goods are classified, which must also be addressed in the proposed Regulations. Timing Environment Canada has initiated consultations on the planned comprehensive Interprovincial Movement of Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Recyclable Materials Regulations to implement enhanced authority to control interprovincial movements of hazardous wastes and hazardous recyclable materials under CEPA 1999. However, these comprehensive Regulations are not expected to be in place until the end of 2002. Therefore, the proposed Regulations are required to ensure that there is no regulatory gap once the new TDG Regulations come into force. To avoid any confusion, the entry into force of the proposed Regulations is being timed to coincide with the entry into force of the new TDG Regulations. Alternatives A number of alternatives were examined: (1) Taking no action Given Canada's routine use of manifests to track hazardous waste shipment in Canada and internationally, allowing a regulatory gap to occur was not considered as an acceptable alternative. (2) Accelerating the comprehensive Interprovincial Movement of Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Recyclable Materials Regulations On-going manifesting procedures could be maintained by these requirements in the comprehensive Interprovincial Movement of Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Recyclable Materials Regulations. However, accelerating the time frame for the adoption of these proposed Regulations would not allow the time required for the necessary stakeholder consultations. (3) Delaying the entry into force of the new TDG Regulations The new TDG Regulations include significant changes to the Canadian approach to the safety in transport of dangerous goods. It would be inappropriate to delay their entry into force given the efforts that the regulated community has already expended to prepare for the new requirements. Delaying the entry into force of only those portions that impact the Interprovincial Movement of Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Recyclable Materials Regulations could create confusion and regulatory uncertainty due to potential conflicting requirements. (4) Interprovincial Movement of Hazardous Waste Regulations Under this alternative, manifest provisions in the TDG Regulations would be transferred to the proposed Regulations. This alternative was considered the most appropriate since it will minimize the impact on both the regulated community and the Government. It also promotes continuing compliance with well-established and -understood requirements for manifesting. Benefits and Costs Benefits The proposed Regulations ensure that there is no regulatory gap and that Canada will continue to comply with its obligations to require manifests for interprovincial movements of hazardous waste. Regulatory certainty will be maintained. This will facilitate compliance and allow the time required for appropriate consultations on more comprehensive Interprovincial Movement of Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Recyclable Materials Regulations. Costs It is reasonable to assume that there will be no increase in costs to the regulated community as the control regime is not changing. Consultation Environment Canada has informed the governments of provinces and members of the CEPA National Advisory Committee who are representatives of Aboriginal governments of the proposed Regulations. In addition, Environment Canada's intention to publish these proposed Regulations was presented to industry, provinces and other stakeholders as part of a series of consultations across Canada on the planned comprehensive Interprovincial Movement of Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Recyclable Materials Regulations 2002. Stakeholders did not express any concerns regarding these proposed Regulations. Compliance and Enforcement The proposed Regulations maintain in place a manifest system for wastes that, until August 15, 2002, is in force under the TDG Regulations. As the proposed Regulations are being made under CEPA 1999, Environment Canada will become responsible for their enforcement. The department intends to seek the co-operation of provincial, territorial and aboriginal governments in enforcing the Regulations. Section 217 of CEPA 1999 allows designation, by the Minister of the Environment, of employees of provincial, territorial and aboriginal governments as enforcement officers with the approval of these governments. Such designations plus other matters involving co-operative enforcement could be implemented by administrative agreements to be negotiated and made under section 9 of CEPA 1999. Environment Canada CEPA enforcement officers and analysts will undertake enforcement, including inspection, investigation and any follow-up activities, until administrative agreements can be negotiated with provinces, territories and aboriginal governments that are willing to do so. Environment Canada enforcement officers have significant experience in the enforcement of manifest requirements since this same document is used for international shipments under the Export and Import of Hazardous Wastes Regulations. The cost of enforcement by Environment Canada of the proposed Regulations is estimated to be $175,000 until the comprehensive Interprovincial Movement of Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Recyclable Materials Regulations are in place. These costs will have to be reevaluated at that time since these comprehensive Regulations will be more extensive in scope. As provinces, territories and aboriginal governments agree to sign administrative agreements for the enforcement of the Regulations, the enforcement cost to the department is likely to be reduced. In signing such agreements, Environment Canada will bear the cost of training any provincial, territorial and aboriginal government employees in order to enforce the proposed Regulations under the authority of CEPA 1999. These costs may be significant but could be reduced through cost-sharing arrangements related to the processing of manifests. The number of persons to be trained will depend on the province, territory or aboriginal governments involved since the number of shipments to be inspected varies across Canada. Given that it is not known at this time how many administrative agreements will be signed, it is not possible at this time to estimate the training cost. When verifying compliance with the proposed Regulations, CEPA enforcement officers will abide by the Compliance and Enforcement Policy implemented under CEPA 1999. This policy sets out the range of possible responses to violations: warnings, directions, environmental protection compliance orders issued by enforcement officers, ticketing, ministerial orders, injunctions, prosecution and environmental protection alternative measures. In addition, the policy explains when Environment Canada will resort to civil suits by the Crown for costs recovery. Once there is confirmation that a violation has been committed, the appropriate response will be selected, based on the following criteria: — Nature of the alleged violation: This includes consideration of the damage, the intent of the alleged violator, whether it is a repeat violation, and whether an attempt has been made to conceal information or otherwise subvert the objectives and requirements of CEPA 1999; — Effectiveness in achieving the desired result with the alleged violator: The desired result is compliance within the shortest possible time and with no further repetition of the violation. Factors to be considered include the violator's history of compliance with CEPA 1999, willingness to cooperate with enforcement officials, and evidence of corrective action already taken; and — Consistency: Enforcement officers will consider how similar situations have been handled in determining the measures to be taken to enforce CEPA 1999.

[16-1-o] Regulations Amending the Export and Import of Hazardous Wastes RegulationsStatutory Authority Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 Sponsoring Department Department of the Environment REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT Description The goal of the proposed Regulations Amending the Export and Import of Hazardous Wastes Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the proposed amended Regulations) is to ensure that the current manifest tracking and classification requirements for the international movements of hazardous wastes are maintained. Under section 191 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Governor in Council has the authority to make regulations respecting conditions governing the import, export, and transit through Canada of hazardous wastes and hazardous recyclable materials. The proposed amended Regulations are required as a consequence of the new Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDG Regulations), made pursuant to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992. These new TDG Regulations are scheduled to come into force on August 15, 2002. The existing Export and Import of Hazardous Wastes Regulations (EIHW Regulations) refer to the current TDG Regulations for the purposes of setting out the definition and classification of hazardous waste, including hazardous recyclable materials, as well as for establishing the requirement for the use of the waste manifest. The manifest has been used as a means to track shipments of hazardous waste since 1985, when it was first introduced under the TDG Regulations. Both the manifest and the classification process under the TDG Regulations have been used as important references for several other federal and provincial regulations on hazardous wastes and hazardous recyclable materials, including the EIHW Regulations. Canada is committed to ensuring the proper control of imports and exports of hazardous waste in order to meet its international obligations, such as the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal. Among the various obligations imposed by these international agreements is the requirement that imports and exports of hazardous waste be accompanied by a movement document such as a manifest. This document ensures that international movements of hazardous wastes are properly tracked from their point of origin until they are received at a facility that is authorized to dispose of or recycle the material in question. The introduction in CEPA 1999 of new authority to control the movement in Canada of hazardous wastes and hazardous recyclable materials signaled the intention of the Government of Canada to transfer the manifest tracking requirements from the TDG Regulations to regulations under CEPA 1999. This approach is reflected in the new TDG Regulations. The new TDG Regulations do not include specific sections concerning the manifesting of hazardous waste, nor do they continue to define waste for the purpose of controlling wastes and recyclable materials as a separate category of dangerous goods. In order to maintain the status quo under the EIHW Regulations, these requirements must now be directly included in the proposed amended Regulations. In addition, the new TDG Regulations modify the way in which miscellaneous dangerous goods are classified, which must also be addressed in the proposed amended Regulations. Timing Environment Canada has initiated consultations on planned major amendments to the EIHW Regulations to implement enhanced authority to control imports, exports and transits of hazardous wastes and hazardous recyclable materials under CEPA 1999. However, these major amendments are not expected to be in place until mid-2003. Therefore, the proposed amended Regulations are required to ensure that there is no regulatory gap once the new TDG Regulations come into force. To avoid any confusion, the entry into force of the proposed amended Regulations is being timed to coincide with the entry into force of the new TDG Regulations. Alternatives A number of alternatives were examined: (1) Taking no action Given Canada's international obligations and the routine use of manifests to track hazardous waste shipments internationally and also within Canada, allowing a regulatory gap to occur was not considered as an acceptable alternative. (2) Accelerating the major amendment to the EIHW Regulations Ongoing manifesting procedures could be maintained by including these requirements in the planned major amendment to the EIHW Regulations. However, accelerating the time frame for the adoption of these major amendments would not allow the time required for necessary stakeholder consultations and development of new requirements on environmentally sound management and reduction plans on exports for final disposal. (3) Delaying the entry into force of the new TDG Regulations The new TDG Regulations include significant changes to improve the Canadian approach to the safety in transport of dangerous goods. It would be inappropriate to delay their entry into force, given the efforts that the regulated community has already expended to prepare for the new requirements. Delaying the entry into force of only those portions that impact the EIHW Regulations could create confusion and regulatory uncertainty due to potential conflicting requirements between the two regulations. (4) Consequential amendment to the EIHW Regulations Under this alternative, references to the TDG Regulations in the EIHW Regulations would be replaced by specific sections that are equivalent. This alternative was considered the most appropriate since it will minimize the impact on both the regulated community and the Government. It also promotes continuing compliance with well-established and -understood requirements for manifesting. Benefits and Costs Benefits The proposed amended Regulations ensure that there is no regulatory gap and that Canada will continue to comply with its international obligations to require manifests for imports and exports of hazardous waste. Regulatory certainty will be maintained. This will facilitate compliance and allow the time required for appropriate consultations on more significant changes to the EIHW Regulations. Costs It is reasonable to assume that there will be no increase in costs to the regulated community as the control regime is not changing. In addition, the proposed amended Regulations will not result in any additional costs for the related enforcement or program activities of Environment Canada. Consultation Environment Canada has informed the governments of provinces and territories and members of the CEPA National Advisory Committee who are representatives of Aboriginal governments of the proposed amended Regulations. In addition, Environment Canada's intention to publish these interim consequential amendments was presented to industry, provinces, territories and other stakeholders as part of a series of consultations across Canada on the planned major amendments to the EIHW Regulations in 2001 and 2002. There is strong support for maintaining the current system until the planned major amendments are in place. This information was also published on Environment Canada's CEPA Environmental Registry on its Green Lane Internet site. Compliance and Enforcement Since the proposed amended Regulations will be promulgated under CEPA 1999, the Compliance and Enforcement Policy implemented under the Act will be applied by CEPA enforcement officers. The proposed amended Regulations do not change the current practice. Therefore, no changes are required to the current approach to enforcement and compliance promotion for the EIHW Regulations.
