Coming into Force

REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Order.)

Issues

The Government of Canada (the Government) assessed information on 17 substances new to Canada and determined that they meet the criteria for addition to the Domestic Substances List (DSL). Therefore, under the Order 2017-87-07-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List, the Government added these 17 substances to the DSL.

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) (see footnote 2) and the New Substances Notification Regulations (Organisms). (see 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 (see 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.

Substances on the DSL

The DSL is an inventory of substances in the Canadian marketplace published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, in May 1994. (see footnote 5) The DSL is amended on average 10 times a year to add or delete substances. These amendments may also add, vary, or rescind reporting obligations for substances on the DSL imposed under the significant new activity (SNAc) provisions of CEPA. (see footnote 6)

The current structure of the DSL was established in July 2001 (see footnote 7) and it includes eight parts defined as follows:

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 17 substances to the DSL

The Government assessed information on 17 new substances reported to the New Substances Program and determined that they meet the criteria for their addition to the DSL. These substances were therefore added to the DSL. This will remove the notification and assessment requirements under the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers).

Objectives

The objective of Order 2017-87-07-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List is to comply with subsections 87(1) and (5) of CEPA by adding 17 substances to the DSL.

Description

This Order adds 17 substances to the DSL. Four substances identified by their CAS RN were added to Part 1 of the DSL and 13 substances identified by their masked name and their CAN were added to Part 3 of the DSL.

Consultation

As this Order does not contain any information expected to generate comments by stakeholders, no consultation is 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 17 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, therefore, they are exempt from notification and assessment requirements under the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers).

“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.
