Notice to Anyone Engaged in the Production, Import or Use of Ozone-depleting Substances (ODSs)

The Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer have agreed to phase out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs). The Fourth Meeting of the Parties decided to allow for possible exemptions to these production/consumption phase-out dates in order to meet the marketplace demand for uses that are considered "essential."

The Parties have established criteria and a procedure to assess nominations for "essential" use exemptions. Canada, as a signatory to the Montreal Protocol, must ensure that the requirements of this international treaty are implemented in Canada.

Pursuant to subparagraphs 68(a)(ix) and 68(a)(xiii) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the following notice describes the criteria, process and schedule that the Department of the Environment will use to determine the relevance of nominations for an exemption for an "essential" use of ozone-depleting substances, as agreed to under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.

These exemptions, valid for calendar years 2004 and beyond, are with respect to the regulatory provisions that set the phase-out dates for the production and importation of ODSs. These exemptions allow the production or importation of new ODSs after their respective phase-out dates. The use of ODSs present in Canada before the phase-out date or the use of recycled or reclaimed ODSs does not require an application for exemption.

Producers, importers and users of ozone-depleting substances are hereby invited to submit, prior to September 1, 2002, nominations for such "essential" use exemptions, as described in this notice.

The Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer have agreed to phase out the production and consumption (see footnote 1)  of:

by January 1, 1994 halons
by January 1, 1996 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) or methyl chloroform
(MCF)
by January 1, 1996 carbon tetrachloride (CTC)
by January 1, 1996 chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
by January 1, 1996 hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs)
by January 1, 1996 other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons
(other CFCs)
by January 1, 2002 bromochloromethane or halon 1011
by January 1, 2005 methyl bromide
by January 1, 2030 hydrochlorofluorocarbons

The Fourth Meeting of the Parties decided to allow for possible exemptions to these production/consumption phase-out dates in order to meet the marketplace demand for uses that are considered "essential." The Parties have established criteria and a procedure to assess nominations for "essential" use exemptions.

Canada, as a signatory to the Montreal Protocol, must ensure that the requirements of this international treaty are implemented in Canada.

II. Criteria for "essential" use

For the implementation in Canada of the Montreal Protocol requirements, a use of an ODS shall qualify as "essential" only if:

(1) it is necessary for the health, safety, or is critical for the functioning of society (encompassing cultural and intellectual aspects); and

(2) there are no available technically and economically feasible alternatives or substitutes that are acceptable from the standpoint of environment and health and that are consistent with regulatory regimes.

Furthermore, production and consumption of an ODS for "essential" uses after the phase-out dates, if any, shall be permitted only if:

(3) all economically feasible steps have been taken to minimize the "essential" use and any associated emission of the ODS to the atmosphere; and

(4) the ODS is not available in sufficient quantity and quality from existing stocks of banked or recycled ODSs.

III. Process

The process that leads to decisions on "essential" use exemptions is as follows:

(01) Application: An organization in a developed country that is a Party to the Montreal Protocol makes an application for an "essential" use exemption to the relevant authorities in its Government. The Government reviews the application and decides whether it should be nominated.

(02) Nomination: The Party submits its "essential" use nomination to the Ozone Secretariat of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) by January 31 of the year in which a decision is required; earlier submissions are encouraged.

(03) Assignment: The Ozone Secretariat forwards the nominations to the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP) which in turn assigns the nomination to the appropriate Technical Option Committee (TOC). In some circumstances, two or more TOCs may jointly consider the nomination.

(04) Review: The Technical Options Committee reviews the nomination to determine if it meets the criteria for an "essential" use established by Decision IV/25. The TEAP reviews the TOC report and either recommends the nomination to the Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG) of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol or reports that it is unable to recommend the nomination. The TEAP report to the OEWG is due by April 30 of the year of decision.

(05) Evaluation: The Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG) reviews the TEAP report and recommends a decision for consideration by the Parties.

(06) Decision: The Meeting of the Parties decides whether to allow production for "essential" use in accordance with the Montreal Protocol. The Parties may attach conditions to their approval.

(07) National decision: The Party in possession of an "essential" use exemption authorizes the applicant to acquire the ODS according to the terms of the decision.

(08) Execution of authorization: The applicant exercises its authorization to use the ODS.

Note: The Montreal Protocol authorizes but does not require production; each applicant must locate a willing supplier and negotiate supply.

IV. Timetable

The Parties agreed, under Decision V/18, that all nominations are due by January 31 for consideration by the Parties at their next meeting, typically in the fall of each year.

The international timetable for the submission of nominations for "essential" use exemption is as follows:

June—September Applicant organizations prepare and submit nominations to national Governments.
September—December Governments review applications and prepare nominations to the Ozone Secretariat.
January 31 Deadline for submissions of nominations to the Ozone Secretariat. Nominations received after January 31 will be considered for the next year.
April 30 The TEAP publishes its evaluation and the Ozone Secretariat mails it to the Parties.
June—July The OEWG meets and recommends whether or not the nomination should be approved.
October—November The Parties meet and decide whether or not to grant the exemption for "essential" use.

V. Information requirements

The form recommended for nomination is attached. It calls for information in the following areas:

— role of use in society;

— alternatives/substitutes to use;

— steps to minimize use;

— steps to minimize emissions; and

— requested quantity per year.

VI. Canadian assessment of nominations

Only the Government of Canada, as a Party to the Protocol, may nominate "essential" use exemptions for Canada. Organizations and/or individuals interested in obtaining an exemption for ODSs for 2004 or later are hereby invited to submit nominations to the Department of the Environment.

The Department of the Environment will evaluate all nominations received in order to decide whether to support them for international review using the following process and schedule:

(1) Written submissions must be received at the following address by September 1, 2002: Jean M. Carbonneau, Ozone Protection Programs Section, National Office of Pollution Prevention, Environment Canada, Place Vincent Massey, 12th Floor, Hull, Quebec K1A 0H3, (819) 953-1675 (Telephone), (819) 994-0007 (Facsimile), jean.carbonneau@ec.gc.ca (Electronic mail).

(2) Applicants must demonstrate that all elements of the "essential" use criteria described above have been met. Submissions must contain all the information elements.

(3) Nominations will be rigorously evaluated in consultation with independent recognized experts, other government departments and non-government organizations who will have complete access to all submitted information.

(4) The final decision to forward any nomination for international consideration rests with the Government of Canada.

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE

NOTICE THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA WILL BEGIN CONDUCTING A STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF THE NEW WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION NEGOTIATIONS LAUNCHED AT DOHA IN NOVEMBER 2001

The Government of Canada intends to conduct a Strategic Environmental Assessment (EA) of the new World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations, which were launched at Doha in November 2001, and invites comments on their likely and significant environmental impacts on Canada.

The World Trade Organization

Canada is one of the world's leading traders. In 2001, exports of goods and services represented 43 percent of Canada's gross domestic product (GDP) and trade supported one in four jobs. Canada's economic growth and prosperity are clearly linked to our trade success. Canada's current and future prosperity depends on an international framework of rules that provides access to growing world markets and keeps pace with changes in technology, business practices, social systems and public interests. The WTO is the cornerstone of Canadian trade policy and the foundation for Canada's relations with our trading partners. At its heart are several multilateral trade agreements.

At Doha, in November 2001, WTO members launched a new round of multilateral trade negotiations, to be concluded by January 1, 2005. The negotiations will be a "single undertaking," meaning that nothing is finally agreed until everything is finally agreed. Agreements reached at an early stage can, however, be implemented on a provisional basis. The negotiations will serve to achieve:

— substantial improvements in agricultural market access;

— the reduction, with a view to phasing out, of all forms of agricultural export subsidies and substantial reductions in trade-distorting domestic support;

— improvements in market access for services;

— clearer rules on anti-dumping, subsidies and countervailing duties;

— the reduction or elimination of non-agricultural tariffs and non-tariff barriers;

— improvements to the Dispute Settlement Understanding;

— a system of notification and registration of geographical indications for wines and spirits; and

— enhanced mutual supportiveness of trade and the environment including the relationship between existing WTO rules and specific trade obligations in multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs).

Sustainable Development and the WTO

The aims of upholding and safeguarding an open and rules-based multilateral trading system, and acting for the protection of the environment and the promotion of sustainable development can and must be mutually supportive. In the Doha Ministerial Declaration, members of the WTO reaffirmed their commitment to the objective of sustainable development, and noted efforts, such as this, to conduct national environmental assessments of trade policies. Members welcomed the WTO's continued cooperation with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), other inter-governmental environmental organizations and relevant international environmental and developmental organizations.

Strategic Environmental Assessments

The Government of Canada is committed to sustainable development. Mutually supportive trade and environmental policies can contribute to this objective. Toward this end, the Minister for International Trade, with the support of his Cabinet colleagues, has directed trade officials to improve their understanding of, and information base on, the relationship between trade and environment issues at the earliest stages of decision making, and to do this through an open and inclusive process. The environmental assessment of trade negotiations is critical to this work.

In February 2001, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) published the Framework for Conducting Environmental Assessments of Trade Negotiations (Framework) with guidance from the 1999 Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan and Program Proposals. For the full text of the Framework, please refer to: http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/tna-nac/Environment-e.asp.

An EA is a systematic process of identifying and evaluating likely and significant environmental impacts of an initiative. Public consultations will be conducted throughout the EA process, which includes the following steps:

— announcement of the intent to conduct an EA, which is the purpose of this Canada Gazette notice;

— preparation of an initial EA that will define the scope of the more complete analysis to be carried out in the next stage;

— preparation of a draft EA, which will include an in-depth analysis of the issues raised in the initial EA; and

— preparation of a final EA report that will be released after the conclusion of the negotiations.

In each of the above steps, the analysis follows four stages:

— identify the economic effects in Canada of the negotiation;

— identify the likely environmental impacts in Canada of such effects;

— assess the significance of the likely environmental impacts; and

— identify enhancement/mitigation options to inform the negotiation process.

Environmental Assessment of the WTO Negotiations

An EA committee has been formed to undertake the analysis as outlined in the Framework. Coordinated by DFAIT, the WTO EA Committee includes representatives from Environment Canada, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and other relevant government departments and agencies. An important responsibility of the Committee will be the consideration of input from stakeholders in the formulation of the reports at each stage. Views from other levels of government, Sectoral Advisory Groups on International Trade (SAGITs), business groups and the public will also be sought.

Submissions by Interested Parties

All interested parties are invited to submit, by July 31, 2002, their views on likely and significant environmental impacts on Canada. These submissions will help the Government of Canada develop Canada's negotiating objectives at the WTO. Information on these objectives can be found at http://www.dfait-maeci.gc. ca/tna-nac/menu-e.asp.

Please be advised that any information received as a result of these consultations will be considered public information. Parties may indicate if their submission contains sensitive information of which the Government should be aware. Submissions should include:

1. contributor's name and address, and if applicable, their organisation, institution or business;

2. specific issues being addressed; and

3. the rationale for the positions taken.

RADIOCOMMUNICATION ACT

Notice No. DGRB-002-02 — Determination of Interference for Equipment that Defeats the Conditional Access System of Broadcast Satellite (Direct-to-Home or DTH) Receivers (Section 50 of the Radiocommunication Regulations)

Introduction

The Department of Industry has received several complaints of interference to public safety radiocommunication services across Canada.

The Department has made investigations at known interference sites and has conducted laboratory tests of suspect equipment. These analyses have demonstrated that certain devices used to defeat conditional access systems of DTH broadcast satellite receivers will, when used in conjunction with such receivers, cause the emission of radio frequency signals of sufficient strength that interference is caused or is likely to be caused to radiocommunication, including that used for law enforcement and search and rescue. For example, these excessive emissions have interfered with the communications of law enforcement agencies and emergency response teams.

Accordingly, the Minister of Industry has, under section 50 of the Radiocommunication Regulations, made a Determination of Interference (through investigations and laboratory analyses) for several models of equipment used to defeat conditional access systems. Conditional access systems are used by direct-to-home (DTH) broadcasters to protect their transmissions from unauthorized reception. The decoding of encrypted subscription programming signals from direct-to-home (DTH) broadcast satellite facilities must be performed under and in accordance with an authorization from a person who has a lawful right in Canada to transmit the signal and to authorize its decoding. Various types of equipment, such as pirate smart cards or modules, may be employed to gain unauthorized access to satellite television signals. Equipment of this type has also been found to adversely affect the technical performance of the broadcast satellite receiver with respect to radio frequency emissions.

This Determination, as specified in the following notice, will assist in safeguarding radiocommunication services, including those used by police and search and rescue, from interference.

In accordance with section 50 of the Regulations, when there is a determination that a model or several models of equipment cause or are likely to cause interference to radiocommunication, the Minister shall give notice of the determination to persons who are likely to be affected thereby: in this case, persons who manufacture, import, distribute, lease, offer for sale, sell, install or who use equipment referred to in this notice.

For further details respecting the applicable models of equipment please refer to the Annex of this notice and to the "List of Models of Equipment Subject to a Determination of Interference (section 50 of the Radiocommunication Regulations)" published by the Department. The list of the models of equipment subject to this notice may be amended from time to time and is available at the following Web site: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSG/sf05659e. html.

Hard copies of the documents are available, for a fee, from Canadian Government Publishing, Communication Canada, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0S9, Canada, 1-800-635-7943 (North America toll-free telephone), 1-800-565-7757 (Canada toll-free facsimile), (819) 956-4800 (Worldwide telephone), (819) 994-1498 (Worldwide facsimile).

Notice

Notice is hereby given, that the Minister of Industry has, under section 50 of the Radiocommunication Regulations, made a determination that the models of equipment listed in the Annex to this notice cause or are likely to cause interference to radiocommunication. The list may be amended from time to time and the most recent version can be found at the following Industry Canada Web page: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSG/sf05659e.html. Effective the date of publication of this notice, persons who manufacture, import, distribute, lease, offer for sale, sell, install or use the listed equipment are subject to section 50 of the Radiocommunication Regulations.

In accordance with subsection 50(3) of the Regulations, no person shall manufacture, import, distribute, lease, offer for sale, sell, install or use equipment in respect of which notice has been given. Persons who do not comply with section 50 of the Regulations may also be in breach of other applicable provisions of the Radiocommunication Act and Regulations or other statutes, such as the Criminal Code.

Failure by a person to comply with the Minister's notice, issued pursuant to section 50, is an offence under the Radiocommunication Act. Paragraph 10(1)(d) of the Radiocommunication Act provides for sentencing of up to $5,000 and/or one year in prison for individuals and fines up to $25,000 for corporations. Under subsection 10(3) of the Radiocommunication Act, a person may be convicted for a separate offence for each day on which the offence is committed or continued. The Contraventions Act is also applicable in those provinces where it is in force.

Any inquiries regarding this notice should be directed to the local Industry Canada District Office, which is listed in the government blue pages of the telephone directory under "Radio Licensing" or on Industry Canada's Strategis Web site, at http:// strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSG/sf01742e.html.
