EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Interim Order.)

Proposal

The Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations (the Regulations), which came into force in September 2010, establish common greenhouse gas (GHG) emission requirements in Canada and the United States (U.S.) for companies that manufacture or import new passenger automobiles and light trucks (hereinafter referred to as light-duty vehicles) of the 2011 and later model years. The Regulations establish progressively more stringent GHG emission standards for new light-duty vehicles for the 2011 to 2016 model years.

Since September 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which is the U.S. agency responsible for regulating light-duty vehicle GHG emissions, has amended its regulations. While the vast majority of these amendments have been designed to serve as a post-model year 2016 regulatory regime, with progressively more stringent GHG emission standards for the 2017 to 2025 model years, some of these amendments impact the operation of the pre-2017 model year period.

The purpose of the Interim Order Modifying the Operation of the Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations (the Interim Order), made pursuant to subsection 163(1) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), is to maintain alignment of Canada's Regulations with those of the United States with respect to the treatment of emergency vehicles (see footnote 1) and the options for complying with the emission standards for nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4). This Order, which is a renewal of a previous order made by the Minister of the Environment (the Minister) on April 12, 2013, will address this issue on a temporary basis until the amendments are finalized through publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II.

In December 2012, the proposed Regulations Amending the Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations were published in the Canada Gazette, Part I. (see footnote 2) The vast majority of this regulatory proposal would establish common GHG emission requirements in Canada and the United States for the 2017 and later model years; however, it also includes amendments so that it is aligned with the U.S. EPA treatment of emergency vehicles and the options for demonstrating compliance with the emission standards for N2O and CH4.

The Regulations Amending the Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations are targeted for publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II, later in spring 2014. Once the Regulations are published, there will be common Canada–United States requirements for light-duty vehicles for all future model years and these will be established on a permanent basis.

Treatment of emergency vehicles

The U.S. EPA's Final Rule for light-duty vehicle GHG emissions for the 2017 and later model years — published in October 2012 (see footnote 3) — amended provisions related to the treatment of emergency vehicles for all model years following the publication. As amended, the U.S. EPA regulations provide regulated manufacturers of light-duty vehicles with the option of excluding emergency vehicles from calculations of both the fleet average carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emission standards and fleet average carbon-related emission values. These vehicles are also not subject to the prescribed emission standards for N2O and CH4. The Interim Order provides Canadian companies that manufacture or import new light-duty vehicles with the same options related to the treatment of emergency vehicles.

Complying with emission standards for N2O and CH4

The U.S. EPA's Final Rule for heavy-duty vehicle GHG emissions for the 2014 and later model years — published in September 2011 (see footnote 4) — amended provisions related to the light-duty vehicle emission standards for N2O and CH4. As amended, the U.S. EPA regulations provide regulated manufacturers of light-duty vehicles with the option of certifying vehicle test groups to emission levels that are higher (i.e. less stringent) than the prescribed standards. However, manufacturers that use this option must account for the higher emissions through the calculation of CO2e emission deficits, which must be included in calculations of fleet average emission performance. The Interim Order provides Canadian companies that manufacture or import new light-duty vehicles with the option to report, for test groups, N2O and/or CH4 emission values that are higher than the prescribed standard(s). However, companies that use this option must account for the higher emissions. This is consistent with the approach prescribed in the U.S. EPA regulations.

The Interim Order will, in accordance with subsection 163(3) of CEPA 1999, cease to have effect 14 days after it is made unless it is approved by the Governor in Council within that 14-day period. If approved, the Interim Order will, in accordance with subsection 163(5) of CEPA 1999, remain in force for a period of up to one year. It will cease to have effect when it is repealed or when the Regulations are amended to give effect to the Order, or one year after the Interim Order is made, whichever is earlier.

Objective

The primary objective of the Interim Order is to maintain alignment of Canada's light-duty vehicle GHG emission regulations with those of the United States. Environment Canada believes that aligning these regulations with those of the U.S. EPA provides significant environmental and economic benefits while enhancing the competitiveness of the Canadian auto industry. Canada–United States regulatory alignment with respect to light-duty vehicle GHG emission is consistent with the objectives of the Canada-United States Regulatory Cooperation Council. It is anticipated that the Interim Order will have a negligible impact on the environmental outcomes of the Regulations; however, it will prevent unintended consequences of imposing different requirements on Canadian and U.S. companies.

The Interim Order temporarily modifies the operation of the Regulations with respect to the treatment of emergency vehicles and the options for complying with the emission standards for N2O and CH4 in order to maintain alignment between the Canadian and U.S. regulations.

In accordance with the Regulations, regulated companies are required to subject any passenger automobiles or light trucks that meet the conditions of an emergency vehicle to the prescribed emission standards, starting with the 2012 model year. Given the unique role that emergency vehicles play, there are numerous characteristics (e.g. horsepower, high accessory load) that reduce the ability of manufacturers to reduce emissions without compromising the utility of these vehicles.

The objective of this modification, which would provide regulated companies with the option to exclude emergency vehicles from compliance obligations, is to avoid the unintended consequences of negatively impacting the performance or utility of emergency vehicles.

The emission standards for N2O and CH4 established in the Regulations were set at a level intended to serve as a cap in order to prevent future increases in the emissions of these substances. These standards were not intended to lead to emission reductions or the application of new technologies.

In accordance with the Regulations, regulated companies have two compliance options: (1) demonstrate that all passenger automobiles and light trucks comprising their fleets emit lower than the prescribed emission levels for N2O and CH4; (see footnote 5) or (2) convert the N2O and CH4 emissions from all passenger automobiles and light trucks comprising their fleets into CO2e and adding the results to the carbon-related exhaust emission value. Some regulated companies have noted that certain models of vehicles in their existing fleets are challenged to meet the prescribed emission levels for N2O and CH4 and that there is no lead time to develop technological solutions. Therefore, they are required to comply using option (2), despite the fact that the vast majority of their vehicles meet the conditions of option (1). The use of option (2) is estimated to raise an affected company's carbon-related exhaust emission value by 3 to 4 g of CO2e per mile. (see footnote 6)

The objective of this modification, which would provide regulated companies with the option to report, for individual test groups, N2O and CH4 emission values that are higher than the prescribed standards, is to avoid unintended increases in company carbon-related exhaust emission values as a result of having as few as one vehicle that is unable to comply with the prescribed emission standards.

Background

On October 13, 2010, Canada published the Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations, which established light-duty vehicle GHG emission standards in Canada aligned with those in the United States.

On September 15, 2011, the U.S. EPA published an amendment to its light-duty vehicle GHG emission regulations that modified the options available to regulated companies for complying with the emission standards for N2O and CH4.

On October 15, 2012, the U.S. EPA published an amendment to its light-duty vehicle GHG emission regulations that modified the treatment of emergency vehicles in compliance obligations for regulated companies.

Implications

By providing regulated companies with the option of excluding emergency vehicles from compliance obligations, it is anticipated that these vehicles will continue to be designed to meet the necessary performance criteria demanded by the role that these vehicles play. On a national scale, the volume of new light-duty emergency vehicles entering the fleet on an annual basis is minor compared to the rest of the fleet of new vehicles. It is not anticipated that this will negatively impact the GHG emission reduction outcomes of the Regulations.

Providing regulated companies with the option to comply with the N2O and CH4 emission requirements by reporting emission levels higher than the prescribed standards and accounting for the higher emissions as CO2e will allow them to avoid the unintended increase of 3 to 4 g per mile in their carbon-related exhaust emission value. While this will lower the fleet average compliance obligation by this same amount, the N2O and CH4 emission standards are not intended to lead to reductions in the emissions of these substances. By requiring that companies convert higher emissions for individual model types into CO2e and include them in their carbon-related exhaust emission values, companies are still accountable for these higher emissions. Alignment with the U.S. EPA on light-duty vehicle emission regulations is a priority under the Canada-United States Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC). This Interim Order is a commitment to the RCC work plan on light-duty vehicles.

Consultation

The two issues being addressed by this Interim Order were first communicated to Environment Canada by auto industry representatives through consultations on the development of the proposed Regulations Amending the Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations. Several meetings have taken place between Environment Canada and auto industry representatives in recent months to discuss the intent and content of this Interim Order. The auto industry is supportive of the modifications being made by this Interim Order because they maintain Canada–United States alignment.

On December 8, 2012, the proposed Regulations Amending the Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations were published in Part I of the Canada Gazette. The proposal included amendments to align with the U.S. EPA with respect to the treatment of emergency vehicles and the options for complying with the emission standards for N2O and CH4.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the notice.)

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed on September 16, 1987, in Montréal, Quebec. It is credited with major accomplishments in reducing the consumption and production of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) globally. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) were considered as long-term substitutes to ODS. As a result, HFCs are increasingly used in applications that traditionally used ODS. Although it is recognized that HFCs are not ODS, their increased use is a direct consequence of the implementation of the Montreal Protocol.

In June 1992, Canada was one of over 150 countries to sign the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Earth Summit) held in Rio de Janeiro. Canada became the eighth country to ratify the Convention, which entered into force on March 21, 1994. The Convention sets an objective of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that prevents dangerous human-induced interference with the earth's climate system. HFCs, a class of compounds with high global-warming potential, are included as one of the six key greenhouse gases covered under the UNFCCC.

Since 2009, Canada, in collaboration with the United States and Mexico, has been promoting the control of HFCs under the Montreal Protocol by co-sponsoring a proposal to amend the Protocol to incorporate a phase-down of HFCs in both developed and developing countries. This proposal would build on the historical experience of the Montreal Protocol with respect to HFCs, enhance actions on ozone-depleting substances and complement efforts under the UNFCCC to address climate change.

This notice requires information on HFCs for the 2008 to 2012 calendar years. The information will help the Government of Canada to better define current applications and quantities of these substances to inform Canada's position on potential control strategies, including at the international level.

Pursuant to subsection 71(3) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, every person to whom this notice applies is required to comply with this notice within the time specified in the notice. The time specified in this notice is August 19, 2014, 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Saving Time.

Persons not subject to this notice who have a current or future interest in a substance set out in Schedule 1 to this notice may identify themselves as a “stakeholder” for the substance by completing the voluntary Declaration of Stakeholder Interest. The person will be included in future mailings regarding these substances and may be contacted for further information regarding their interest in these substances. This form is available via Environment Canada's Single Window on the Chemical Substances Web site at www.chemicalsubstanceschimiques.gc.ca.

Persons who do not meet the requirements to respond and have no commercial interest in the substances covered by this notice may submit a Declaration of Non-Engagement for the notice. The form is available via Environment Canada's Single Window from the Chemical Substances Web site at www.chemicalsubstanceschimiques.gc.ca.

The Minister of the Environment is also inviting interested stakeholders to submit additional information that is deemed beneficial. Organizations that may be interested in submitting additional information in response to this invitation include those that manufacture, import, export or use these substances, whether alone, in a mixture or in a product or a manufactured item.

Compliance with the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (hereinafter referred to as the “Act”) is mandatory pursuant to subsections 272(1) and 272.1(1) of the Act. Amendments to the fine scheme of the Act came into force on June 22, 2012. Subsections 272(2), (3) and (4) and 272.1(2), (3) and (4) of the Act set the penalties for persons who commit an offence under the Act. Offences include failing to comply with an obligation arising from the Act and providing false or misleading information. Penalties for offences can result, upon conviction (either summary conviction or indictment), of fines of not more than $12 million, imprisonment for a term of not more than three years, or both.

The current text of the Act, including the most recent amendments, is available on the Department of Justice's Internet site: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-15.31/.

The Act is enforced in accordance with the Compliance and Enforcement Policy for the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, available at www.ec.gc.ca/lcpe-cepa/default.asp?lang=En&n=5082BFBE-1. Suspected violations under the Act can be reported to the Enforcement Branch by email at environmental.enforcement@ec.gc.ca.
