REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Order.)

Issues

The Government of Canada (the Government) assessed information on 23 substances new to Canada and determined that they meet the criteria for addition to the Domestic Substances List (DSL). Therefore, the Government added 23 substances to the DSL under the Order 2018-87-04-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List (Order 2018-87-04-01).

Background

Assessment of substances new to Canada

Substances that are not on the DSL are considered new to Canada and are subject to notification and assessment requirements set out in sections 81, 83, 106 and 109 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), as well as in the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers) footnote 2 and the New Substances Notification Regulations (Organisms). footnote 3 These regulations are administered by the New Substances Program and were made to ensure that new substances introduced to the Canadian marketplace over certain thresholds footnote 4 are risk assessed to identify potential hazards to the environment and human health, and that appropriate control measures are taken, if deemed necessary.

Domestic Substances List

The DSL is an inventory of substances in the Canadian marketplace published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, in May 1994. footnote 5

The current structure of the DSL was established in July 2001 footnote 6 and it includes 8 Parts defined as follows:

The DSL is amended on average 10 times a year to add or delete substances. A substance must be added to the DSL under section 66 of CEPA if it was manufactured or imported into Canada by any person in a quantity greater than 100 kg in any one calendar year, or if it was in Canadian commerce, or used for commercial manufacturing purposes in Canada between January 1, 1984, and December 31, 1986.

In addition, a substance must be added to the DSL under subsection 87(1), 87(5) or 112(1) of CEPA within 120 days once all of the following criteria are met:

Adding 23 substances to the DSL

The Government assessed information on 23 new substances reported to the New Substances Program and determined that they meet the criteria for their addition to the DSL, under subsections 87(1) and 87(5) of CEPA. These 23 substances are therefore added to the DSL and are no longer subject to the notification and assessment requirements under sections 81 and 83 of CEPA.

Objectives

Order 2018-87-04-01 is made pursuant to subsections 87(1) and (5) of CEPA to add 23 substances (chemicals and polymers) to the DSL.

By adding 23 substances to the DSL, these substances are no longer subject to the notification and assessment requirements under sections 81 and 83 of CEPA. This is expected to facilitate access to these substances.

Description

The Order 2018-87-04-01 adds 23 substances (chemical and polymers) to the DSL. Six substances identified by their CAS RN are added to Part 1 of the DSL and 17 substances identified by their masked name and their CAN are added to Part 3 of the DSL.

An order adding a substance to the DSL does not constitute an endorsement from the Department of the Environment or the Government of Canada of the substance to which it relates, or an exemption from any other laws or regulations that are in force in Canada and that may apply to this substance or activities involving the substance.

Consultation

As the Order is administrative in nature, no consultation was deemed necessary.

Rationale

Substances new to Canada are subject to notification and assessment requirements before they can be manufactured or imported over the thresholds set in the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers) or the New Substances Notification Regulations (Organisms). These regulations were made to ensure that new substances introduced to the Canadian marketplace over certain thresholds are risk assessed to identify potential hazards to the environment and human health and that appropriate control measures are taken, if deemed necessary.

The Government assessed information on 23 substances new to Canada, and determined that they meet the criteria for their addition to the DSL. These substances have been added to the DSL and are therefore exempt from notification and assessment requirements under sections 81 and 83 of the Act.

“One-for-One” Rule and small business lens

The Order does not trigger the “One-for-One” Rule, as it does not add any additional costs to business. Also, the small business lens does not apply to the Order, as it does not add any administrative or compliance burden to small businesses.

Implementation, enforcement and service standards

Developing an implementation plan, a compliance strategy, or establishing a service standard is not required when adding substances to the DSL.
