Coming into Force

3 This Order comes into force on the day on which it is published in the Canada Gazette.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This explanatory note is not part of the Order Amending the Non-domestic Substances List.)

Additions to the Non-domestic Substances List

Substances are eligible for addition to the Non-domestic Substances List if they have been listed on the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act Inventory for a minimum of one year, are not subject to risk management controls in Canada or the United States, and are not subject to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants or the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade. This order adds 38 substances that meet these criteria to the Non-domestic Substances List.

Deletions from the Non-domestic Substances List

In 2016, the Department initiated a review of substances on the Non-domestic Substances List to determine whether they are subject to risk management controls in Canada or the United States, or are subject to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants or the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade. The review identified 83 substances meeting these criteria. A notice of intent to remove these 83 substances from the Non-domestic Substances List was published in September 2017 in the Canada Gazette.

It was determined that three of these substances have since been deleted from the Non-domestic Substances List and added to the Domestic Substances List. Furthermore, based on comments received and further assessment, it was determined that 56 of these substances should not be deleted from the Non-domestic Substances List because they are commercialized in Canada. Deletion would result in lowering the notification thresholds under the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers). This is expected to result in situations of non-compliance, as certain regulated parties would have already exceeded the new import or manufacture thresholds on the day on which these thresholds would apply. No comments were received on the remaining 24 substances and therefore, they are deleted from the Non-domestic Substances List.

It was determined that 29 substances were on both the Domestic Substances List and the Non-domestic Substances List and therefore, these substances are deleted from the Non-domestic Substances List.

It was also determined that one substance appeared twice on the Non-domestic Substances List under both the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number 68584-82-7 and the invalid CAS Registry Number 181887-30-9. Therefore, CAS Registry Number 181887-30-9 is deleted from the Non-domestic Substances List.

ANNEX

Summary of the draft screening assessment of the Decenes Group

Pursuant to section 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of two substances referred to collectively as the Decenes Group.^{footnote 3} Substances in this group were identified as priorities for assessment as they met the categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA. The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers (CAS RNs), the Domestic Substances List (DSL) names and the common names of these substances are listed in the table below.

Substances in the Decenes Group
CAS RN	DSL name	Common name or abbreviation
68649-11-6^{table a4 note a}	1-Decene, dimer, hydrogenated	Hydrogenated didecene
68649-12-7^{table a4 note a}	1-Decene, tetramer, mixed with 1-decene trimer, hydrogenated	Hydrogenated trimer and tetramer of decene or HTTD
Table a4 note(s) Table a4 note a The substance bearing this CAS RN is a UVCB (unknown or variable composition, complex reaction products, or biological materials). Return to table a4 note a referrer

According to information submitted in response to a CEPA section 71 survey, imported quantities of hydrogenated didecene and hydrogenated trimer and tetramer of decene (HTTD) in Canada in 2011 were in the range of 10 000 to 100 000 kg and 203 742 kg, respectively. In the same year, no Canadian manufacturing activities were reported for hydrogenated didecene above the reporting threshold of 100 kg, while HTTD was reported to be manufactured in quantities between 1 000 and 10 000 kg. Hydrogenated didecene is used in lubricants and greases, self-care products, and mining applications. HTTD is used in lubricants and greases for automotive care and in the automotive, aircraft and transportation sectors.

The ecological risks of the substances in the Decenes Group were characterized using the ecological risk classification of organic substances (ERC), which is a risk-based approach that employs multiple metrics for both hazard and exposure, with weighted consideration of multiple lines of evidence for determining risk classification. Hazard profiles are based principally on metrics regarding mode of toxic action, chemical reactivity, food web–derived internal toxicity thresholds, bioavailability, and chemical and biological activity. Metrics considered in the exposure profiles include potential emission rate, overall persistence, and long-range transport potential. A risk matrix is used to assign a low, moderate or high level of potential concern for substances based on their hazard and exposure profiles. Based on the outcome of the ERC analysis, the substances in the Decenes Group are considered unlikely to be causing ecological harm.

Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this draft screening assessment, there is a low risk of harm to the environment from hydrogenated didecene and HTTD. It is proposed to conclude that hydrogenated didecene and HTTD do not meet the criteria under paragraphs 64(a) or (b) of CEPA, as they are not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends.

With respect to the human health assessment, no critical health effects were identified for hydrogenated didecene or HTTD via the oral or dermal routes of exposure. This was based on the available health effects data on these substances as well as on analogues. Therefore, oral exposure to substances in the Decenes Group resulting from potential releases to surface water and exposure to lipsticks is not a concern. In addition, dermal exposure from use of automotive and self-care products containing these substances is not of concern. With respect to inhalation exposure, the critical health effect is histopathological effects observed in the nasal cavity and lungs of rats exposed to aerosolized hydrogenated didecene. Hydrogenated didecene and HTTD were identified in products used as sprays for firearm maintenance (i.e. cleaner/lubricant/preservative [CLP]). Margins of exposure between concentrations of hydrogenated didecene and HTTD following use of CLP spray products for firearm maintenance and critical effects levels in laboratory studies are considered potentially inadequate to address the uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases.

On the basis of the information presented in this draft screening assessment, it is proposed to conclude that hydrogenated didecene and HTTD meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA, as they are entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.

Proposed overall conclusion

It is proposed to conclude that hydrogenated didecene and HTTD meet one or more of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA.

It is also proposed that HTTD meets the persistence criteria but not the bioaccumulation criteria and that hydrogenated didecene does not meet the persistence and bioaccumulation criteria as set out in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations of CEPA.

The draft screening assessment and the risk management scope document for these substances are available on the Canada.ca (Chemical Substances) website.

Summary of the screening assessment of the Thiocarbamates Group

Pursuant to sections 68 or 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of two substances referred to collectively under the Chemicals Management Plan as the Thiocarbamates Group. Substances in this group were identified as priorities for assessment, as they met the categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA or were considered a priority on the basis of other human health concerns. The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers (CAS RNs^{footnote 4}), the Domestic Substances List (DSL) names and the acronyms and common names of these substances are listed in the table below.

Substances in the Thiocarbamates Group
CAS RN	DSL name	Acronym and common name
120-54-7^{table a5 note a}	Piperidine, 1,1’-(tetrathiodicarbonothioyl)bis-	DPTT
137-26-8	Thioperoxydicarbonic diamide ([(H₂N)C(S)]₂S₂), tetramethyl-	TMTD, thiram
Table a5 note(s) Table a5 note a This substance was not identified under subsection 73(1) of CEPA but was included in this assessment as it was considered as a priority on the basis of other human health concerns. Return to table a5 note a referrer

TMTD and DPTT do not occur naturally in the environment. Information obtained from CEPA section 71 surveys indicate that no company manufactured either of them in Canada above the 100 kg reporting threshold. However, between 170 300 and 403 100 kg of TMTD was imported into Canada in 2008 and 150 000 kg of DPTT was imported in 2011.

TMTD is primarily used as a process regulator for manufacturing solid rubber products in Canada. It is used as a component in automotive parts, in sealants and adhesives, and in the manufacture of a limited number of food packaging materials. This substance is also registered as an active ingredient in pest control products in Canada (under the name of thiram). The final re-evaluation of Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) decision for thiram includes a risk assessment and the required risk mitigation measures to protect human health and the environment from pesticidal uses of TMTD under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act. Therefore, exposures to TMTD resulting from pesticidal sources and uses of thiram are not characterized further in this screening assessment.

DPTT is only used in Canada as a process regulator for manufacturing solid rubber products.

Releases of TMTD and DPTT to surface water are expected to occur mainly as a result of discharges from wastewater treatment systems associated with facilities manufacturing solid rubber products.

TMTD and DPTT are expected to degrade rapidly in the environment and their potential for long-range transport is low. They are not expected to bioaccumulate; empirical bioconcentration factors are low for both substances and mammalian data suggest that they could undergo rapid metabolism and elimination. Current uses of these substances may result in exposures to aquatic organisms near points of release.

Empirical data suggest that TMTD is highly toxic to aquatic organisms. DPTT does not demonstrate any effect on aquatic organisms at water solubility limits.

The ecological risk characterization for TMTD indicates that releases from uses of this substance in manufacturing solid rubber products may pose a risk to aquatic organisms. The risk to aquatic organisms associated with current uses of DPTT in manufacturing solid rubber products is considered to be low.

Considering all lines of evidence presented in this screening assessment, there is a risk of harm to the environment from TMTD. It is concluded that TMTD meets the criteria under paragraph 64(a) of CEPA, as it is entering or may enter the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity. However, it is concluded that TMTD does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(b) of CEPA, as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends.

Considering all lines of evidence presented in this screening assessment, there is a low risk of harm to the environment from DPTT. It is concluded that DPTT does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(a) or (b) of CEPA, as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends.

From a human health perspective, TMTD has been reviewed by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), and the identified effects of concern included developmental neurotoxicity and carcinogenicity. TMTD was also reviewed internationally through the Cooperative Chemicals Assessment Programme of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), and these agencies identified the same effects of concern.

For the general population of Canada, exposure to TMTD through environmental media from non-pesticidal uses is not expected to be significant, due to the substance’s rapid photodegradation and hydrolysis in water, low persistence in soil, and low volatility. In Canada, TMTD is not a permitted food additive, nor is it currently used in any prescription or non-prescription drug, natural health product, or cosmetics. Regarding its possible use in the manufacture of a limited number of food packaging materials, dietary exposure from this use, if any, is expected to be negligible. Exposure to TMTD is not expected from its uses in the manufacture of automobiles or from rubber products, since residual TMTD is not expected in the final products. In products available to the general population, exposure to TMTD from the use of adhesive tape products is expected to be minimal.

DPTT was evaluated using the Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC)-based approach for certain substances, which is based on the potential hazard of similar chemical structures, as well as available chemical-specific genotoxicity data, when available. The estimate of exposure generated for DPTT was lower than the TTC value, indicating a low probability of risk to human health. Therefore, DPTT is considered to be a low concern for human health at current levels of exposure.

On the basis of the information presented in this screening assessment, it is concluded that TMTD and DPTT do not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA, as they are not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.

Overall conclusion

It is concluded that TMTD meets one or more of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA. It is concluded that DPTT does not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA.

It has also been determined that TMTD does not meet the persistence or bioaccumulation criteria as set out in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations of CEPA.

Consultations on a potential Canada-Indonesia comprehensive economic partnership agreement

The Government of Canada is committed to strengthening its trade and investment ties with Asia-Pacific partners in line with Canada’s export diversification strategy. As a trading nation, Canada is also committed to strengthening the rules-based international trading system. A comprehensive economic partnership agreement (CEPA) between Canada and Indonesia could support those goals and contribute significantly to Canada’s overall economic, social and environmental priorities, in line with Canada’s commitment to an inclusive approach to trade.

The Government of Canada is seeking the views of Canadians on a possible CEPA with Indonesia, including the scope of potential negotiations.

As steps are taken to ensure that more Canadians have access to the benefits and opportunities that flow from international trade and investment, traditionally under-represented groups, such as women; micro, small and medium-sized enterprises; and Indigenous peoples, are encouraged to give their input.

Background

Canada’s commercial relationship with Indonesia

Indonesia is the largest export market for Canada in Southeast Asia and a key destination for Canadian investment in the region. Bilateral merchandise trade reached a total value of $3.7 billion in 2019. Indonesia is also the second-largest destination for Canadian direct investment in the region, with a value totalling $3.84 billion at the end of 2019. A CEPA with Indonesia could benefit importers and exporters of goods and services, as well as investors and consumers, by improving bilateral market access and enhancing the transparency and predictability of trade and investment for Canadian business, including micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises. Such an agreement could also provide Canada with the opportunity to strengthen its bilateral relationship with Indonesia and could provide broader economic and strategic benefits to Canada in this region.

More information on the Government’s consultations on a potential Canada-Indonesia CEPA can be found on the Global Affairs Canada website: Consulting Canadians on a possible Canada-Indonesia comprehensive economic partnership agreement.

All interested parties are invited to submit their views by February 23, 2021. Please be advised that any information received as a result of this consultation will be considered public information, unless explicitly specified otherwise.

Submissions should include the following information:

1. the contributor’s name and address and, if applicable, the name of the contributor’s organization, institution or business;
2. the specific issues addressed; and
3. where possible, precise information on the rationale for the positions taken, including any significant impact they might have on Canada’s domestic or international interests.

Submissions by interested parties

The following are examples of areas where the Government would appreciate receiving views from Canadians:

Trade and investment interests

Goods of export or import interest (identified by Harmonized System (HS) / tariff codes) that would benefit from the expedited or phased-in removal of tariffs and other barriers by Indonesia or Canada, as well as any import sensitivities;
Rules of origin, for specific products or sectors (identified by HS/tariff codes) that would be required to benefit from preferential tariff treatment;
Origin procedures to administer the rules of origin, including any customs processes that might have an impact on accessing preferential tariff treatment;
Non-tariff barriers (such as import licensing, administration of tariff-rate quotas, taxes or lack of transparency), technical barriers to trade (including technical regulations, standards or conformity-assessment procedures), and sanitary and phytosanitary measures;
Border and customs issues that may have an impact on the movement of commercial goods into and out of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states;
Investment barriers, including restrictions imposed on foreign ownership or entry to market, questions of transparency of regulation and performance requirements;
Trade facilitation issues (for example impediments related to import procedures);
Interests related to trade in services — specifically, identification of sectors and activities of export interest for Canadian service providers, market access barriers and domestic regulatory measures that either restrict or affect the ability to conduct business or deliver services in Indonesia;
Temporary entry of business people from Canada into Indonesia and from Indonesia into Canada (for example impediments when entering Indonesia, or Canada, to work on a temporary basis);
Electronic commerce (for example restrictive measures faced by Canadian suppliers of digital products and services in Indonesia, such as requirements for data localization);
Priority government procurement markets for Canadian suppliers in Indonesia, including at the central, sub-central and local levels; also, the goods, services and construction services that Canadian suppliers are interested in selling to those governmental organizations, as well as barriers to selling or attempting to sell to the Government of Indonesia;
Issues affecting business practices when interacting with state-owned enterprises;
Application and enforcement by Indonesia of intellectual property (IP) laws, regulations, policies or procedures that may result in discrimination against foreign intellectual property, such as brand names, and any requirements for the sharing or transfer of IP or confidential business information;
Competition policy matters, including competition law enforcement and other measures affecting competition in Indonesia;
Preferred approach to trade remedies to be applied to trade between the ASEAN member states and Canada;
Incidents of unfair business practices; and
Development of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Notice of intent to conduct impact assessments, including an initial environmental assessment and gender-based analysis plus, on a possible Canada-Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement

On January 9, 2021, the Government of Canada launched public consultations to seek the views of Canadians on a possible Canada-Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).

In parallel, the Government is seeking the views of Canadians on the potential impacts and opportunities that a Canada-Indonesia CEPA may have with respect to the environment — including greenhouse gas emissions — through an initial environmental assessment. The Government will also examine gender and other diversity considerations through a gender-based analysis plus (GBA+).

In accordance with the Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan and Program Proposals, Global Affairs Canada conducts environmental assessments (EAs) for all trade and investment negotiations using a process that requires interdepartmental coordination and public consultation. The objectives of the EA of a trade agreement are

(1) to assist Canadian negotiators in integrating environmental considerations into the negotiating process by providing information on the environmental impacts of a proposed trade or investment agreement; and
(2) to document how environmental factors are being considered in the course of trade negotiations.

The government will also conduct an economic impact assessment (EIA) of a possible Canada-Indonesia CEPA. Findings from the EIA, which includes assessing the expected impact of a possible CEPA on the Canadian labour market, are used to inform both the EA and GBA+.

Public consultations are an important part of this process, and they help to inform the initial impact assessments of Canada-Indonesia CEPA negotiations. Once negotiations conclude, and prior to the ratification of the agreement, a final economic impact assessment, final EA and final GBA+ will be undertaken to assess the potential impacts of the negotiated outcome on the environment, labour, gender and inclusivity.

The Government of Canada is seeking the views of industry stakeholders, non-governmental organizations, Indigenous peoples, and all interested Canadian citizens. Interested parties are invited to submit their views by February 23, 2021. Please be advised that any information received as a result of this consultation will be considered as public information, unless explicitly specified otherwise.

Submissions should include the following information:

1. the contributor’s name and address and, if applicable, the name of the contributor’s organization, institution or business;
2. the specific issues being addressed; and
3. where possible, precise information on the rationale for the positions taken, including any significant impact it may have on Canada’s domestic or international interests.
