REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT
(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)
Issues
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) projects that without corrective action, international aviation carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions could grow by 60–80% between 2020 and 2035. In response to this projected growth in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, member states of ICAO have agreed to implement the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) set out in Annex 16, Volume IV, to the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
This amendment to the Canadian Aviation Regulations is required in order to implement CORSIA for Canadian operators operating internationally, and includes Phase 1 provisions for the monitoring, reporting and verification of CO2 emissions. Data collected through these provisions is necessary to establish the global 2020 baseline for CO2 emissions for the international aviation sector, and the subsequent Phase 2 carbon offsetting obligations for individual operators, which will be determined starting in 2021.
Background
In October 2010, the ICAO footnote 2 General Assembly adopted a new resolution on climate change, which set aspirational reduction goals for international aviation emissions, including a global annual average fuel efficiency improvement of 2% until 2020 and a medium-term goal of keeping the annual global net carbon emissions from international aviation at 2020 levels.
To help achieve these goals, ICAO Member States, including Canada, agreed to implement CORSIA at the 39th Assembly in October 2016, in order to reduce the carbon footprint of the international aviation industry. This agreement came after a substantial push from industry and civil society for one global measure in order to avoid a patchwork of unharmonized regional and local measures from developing, creating inefficiencies in the system without any certainty of delivering environmental benefits. CORSIA is a carbon-offsetting scheme that requires aircraft operators to acquire emission units on the open market to offset a portion of their emissions. The requirements of CORSIA are set out in Annex 16, Volume IV, to the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
Within Canada, the implementation of CORSIA, through the Canadian aviation regulatory framework, will happen in two phases, with a staggered coming-into-force timeline. Phase 1 will cover the requirements for monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV), which is set to begin on January 1, 2019. Phase 2, which is set to begin January 1, 2021, will cover the requirements related to offsetting obligations, including provisions for claiming reductions in these obligations from the use of sustainable aviation fuels. Together, the implementation of the two phases will enact the full CORSIA in the Canadian regulatory structure. Starting on January 1, 2019, the MRV portion of CORSIA will begin, starting the process of a mandatory annual reporting cycle. The regulations will require all commercial and private Canadian operators who meet the CORSIA applicability threshold to (1) submit a detailed emissions monitoring plan; (2) undertake annual monitoring and complete an annual emissions report; (3) have that report verified by an eligible third-party verification body; and (4) submit the report and associated verification report to Transport Canada.
Starting January 1, 2021, the offsetting portion of CORSIA will begin and will be implemented in a number of compliance periods, with each compliance period representing three calendar years until 2035. Phase 2 will expand the regulatory requirements to provide for the cancellation of acceptable emission units to meet compliance obligations at the end of each compliance period and for claiming reductions in offsetting obligations from the use of sustainable aviation fuels. Emission units represent reductions in GHG emissions that have occurred in other sectors, and cancelling them renders them unusable for other purposes, ensuring that they are only able to be used once for a compliance purpose, in this case, to offset emissions in the aviation sector. Operators who use sustainable aviation fuels will be able to use the difference in the life-cycle emissions between those fuels and typical fossil fuels to reduce the number of emission units that they are required to cancel.
Every three years, starting in 2025, operators will be required to demonstrate that they have cancelled sufficient units and used enough sustainable aviation fuels to match their compliance obligations.
This Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement only covers the first phase of Canadian implementation of CORSIA, relating to MRV.
Objectives
The objective of the Regulations Amending the Canadian Aviation Regulations (Parts I and X — Greenhouse Gas Emissions from International Aviation — CORSIA) [the Regulations] is to implement CORSIA in Canadian domestic law, and therefore fulfilling Canada’s international obligations for Phase 1 of the initiative (i.e. monitoring, reporting and verification of CO2 emissions).
The emissions data will be used by Transport Canada to establish each operator’s individual baseline. Canada will then submit a portion of the information, as specified by ICAO, to ICAO to support the establishment of a global international aviation CO2 baseline. The 2020 baseline emissions for the purposes of CORSIA is defined as the annual average of the emissions of 2019 and 2020. ICAO will consolidate the information from all States into a sectoral baseline, which will form the basis for the calculation of annual offsetting obligations in Phase 2.
Description
Phase 1 of CORSIA will begin in 2019. It will apply to aeroplane operators (i.e. both Canadian private operators and air operators) conducting international flights — defined as a flight that takes-off in one country and lands in a different one — producing more than 10 000 tonnes of total annual CO2 emissions from the use of one or more large aeroplanes.
CORSIA does not cover the following flights: domestic flights, flights using aircrafts with less than 5 700 kg maximum take-off mass, humanitarian flights, medical evacuation flights, firefighting flights, state/police flights and helicopters.
Covered operators are required to undertake the following activities:
- (1) Submission of an emissions monitoring plan: Aeroplane operators will be required to develop and submit an emissions monitoring plan to Transport Canada in order to set out the operator’s specific approach to monitoring. CORSIA allows operators to choose from five methods of direct monitoring to determine the amount of fuel used on covered flights and to convert it into total CO2 emissions. Operators with fewer than 500 000 tonnes of covered emissions will also have the choice to use a simplified procedure tool provided by ICAO called the CO2 Estimation and Reporting Tool (CERT). It is currently available in English only, French versions to be available by end of 2018. The emissions monitoring plan would contain information such as the list of aeroplane types and type of fuel used, registration marks and other identification information related to aeroplanes, and the chosen methods and means of calculating emissions from international flights. The deadline for the submission of monitoring plans will be the earlier of the following dates: February 28, 2019, or 90 days after the day on which the operator becomes subject to CORSIA. However, it is recommended that operators submit them earlier. Operators will be able to use templates provided by ICAO.
- (2) Monitoring: Aeroplane operators will be required to monitor and record fuel use according to the eligible monitoring method chosen in their emissions monitoring plan and approved by Transport Canada, on an annual basis, from 2019 onwards.
- (3) Reporting: Aeroplane operators will be required to develop and submit a verified emissions report on an annual basis beginning in 2020. The report will be due on May 31, following the calendar year during which the monitoring of emissions was carried out. The verified emissions report would contain a consolidated CO2 emissions from international flights along with other key information, such as number of flights and type of fuel consumed. Operators will be able to use templates provided by ICAO that are currently available in English only, French versions to be available by end of 2018.
- (4) Verification: Aeroplane operators will be required to engage a third-party verification body that has been accredited to ISO 14065 footnote 3 and other requirements set out in CORSIA for the verification of the annual emissions report. The list of eligible accreditation bodies will be available on the ICAO website. The verification body would undertake the verification in accordance with ISO 14064-3 footnote 4 and the requirements of CORSIA to ensure completeness and accuracy of information in the report. The operators will then be required to submit a copy of the associated verification report to Transport Canada and authorize the verification body to also submit copies of the verified emissions report and associated verification report to Transport Canada. The associated verification report will be due on May 31, following the calendar year during which the monitoring of emissions was carried out.
“One-for-One” Rule
The “One-for-One” Rule would apply because all of the requirements set under the MRV portion of CORSIA correspond to administrative burden activities. This requirement is considered an “IN” under the “One-for-One” Rule.
The increase in administrative burden includes the setup of IT systems, and annual monitoring, verification, and reporting activities. The annualized cost associated with these activities is estimated to be about $237,000, or $13,000 per business (in 2012 $CAN).
Small business lens
The small business lens does not apply to this proposal, as there are no costs on small business.
Consultation
Stakeholders: Stakeholders have been consulted throughout the development of the ICAO’s CORSIA. These consultations formed, in part, Canada’s negotiation positions. Transport Canada consulted with our impacted operators through their associations — namely the National Airlines Council of Canada, the Air Transit Association of Canada and the Canadian Business Aviation Association. Stakeholders have also been well briefed on CORSIA through their international association, namely the International Aviation Transport Association (IATA) and the International Business Aircraft Council (IBAC). IATA in particular has put in a significant effort to hold several series of international seminars to help operators understand CORSIA and their obligations.
Furthermore, two of Canada’s airlines have participated in a CORSIA implementation pilot project sponsored by ICAO and the German Government. The results of this project have further informed Transport Canada on the real-life functionality of CORSIA and identified areas where stakeholders would require further clarification of the requirements, or additional guidance. This information was considered by ICAO for suggested improvements to CORSIA. In particular, the templates were updated and new guidance material was developed to add clarity to the requirements.
Since November 2017, Transport Canada has reached out to the industry in preparation of the implementation of CORSIA and has provided information on its background and details through management and technical teleconferences hosted by the associations, as well as detailed workshops provided by Transport Canada. The questions received were primarily related to the background and details of the CORSIA requirements. Notable results of these consultations include the following:
- Designing the Regulations in a manner that does not require every commercial or private operator to demonstrate whether or not their international activities meet the CORSIA threshold of 10 000 tonnes. Rather, it places the responsibility on those operators that do meet the criteria to identify themselves and for Transport Canada to undertake due diligence to ensure that all implicated operators do identify themselves.
- Committing to provide guidance documents to operators on the form, manner and nature of recordkeeping requirements for supporting documents.
- Ensuring that the Regulations achieve the consistent treatment of Canadian private operators with those in other countries. In this phase of CORSIA implementation, the Regulations consider together the emissions from all the aircraft from the various owners flown privately under a management company’s private operator registration document to determine coverage when compared to the Regulations’ 10 000 tonnes threshold. The treatment of private operators in other countries will be monitored, and amendments to the ICAO requirements sought if needed. Changes in the Canadian regulation would be addressed in Phase 2 CORSIA implementation.
- Identifying requirements where better guidance material for states was developed through ICAO.
- Improving the CERT on an individual basis to address missing information in the ICAO provided tool, and working with ICAO to have the improvements incorporated more broadly.
- Confirming that Transport Canada will work with operators and the flexibilities provided in the ICAO requirements to ensure sufficient appropriate monitoring methods are available.
Other departments: Transport Canada has consulted with Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada several times over the development of CORSIA particularly with respect to the integration of sustainable aviation fuels. These consultations have helped to inform Transport Canada’s contributions in that area.
The public has been informed through the use of the “Let’s Talk Transportation” website. However, no comments were received. It is not expected that the travelling public will be directly affected in terms of public interest, safety or scheduling. Individual airlines will have the flexibility to choose the manner by which they absorb any costs associated with the implementation of CORSIA. There are no requirements in this regard. Furthermore, international environmental non-governmental organizations have also been involved throughout the development of CORSIA, and have provided informative materials to the general public.
A notice of intent in relation to Phase 1 of the Regulations was published on September 15, 2018. The only enquiry received related to the overall understanding of the applicability of the system for small operators.
Rationale
The full amendments for Phase 1 were not prepublished in the Canada Gazette, Part I. The implementation of the Regulations allows Canada to meet its obligations under the Convention on International Civil Aviation, under which Canada is required to keep its domestic legislation and regulations uniform to the greatest possible extent. Transport Canada undertook significant consultations to incorporate operator views to the extent possible in the development of the requirements and to ensure that all potentially implicated operators were aware of the obligations of Phase 1, as described in the consultation section.
The data collected through the annual reporting will be used to establish the global 2020 baseline for CO2 emissions for the international aviation sector, and the subsequent Phase 2 carbon offsetting obligations for individual operators that will be determined starting in 2021.
Therefore, it is key that the baseline data collected be accurate. Publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II, sufficiently ahead of the start of monitoring on January 1, 2019, allows operators who choose to do so to have their emission monitoring plans approved ahead of the start of monitoring. This approval process is expected to decrease uncertainty and error in the monitoring process. In addition, the earlier publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II, confirms for operators outside the scope of CORSIA that they do not have to report their status to Transport Canada.
Phase 2 of the Regulations will be prepublished in the Canada Gazette, Part I.
The MRV portion of CORSIA will result in incremental costs to aeroplane operators in scope and to Transport Canada. The present value of MRV costs to airplane operators are expected to be about $5.1 million (range of $1.6 million to $8.5 million) over the 2019 to 2035 period, which is equivalent to an average annualized cost of about $27,400 per operator. The total present value of the costs to government over the same period is expected to be about $2.3 million. Together, the present value of total MRV costs (airplane operators and government together) are expected to be about $7.4 million, with a range of $3.9 million to $10.8 million.
The MRV portion, on its own, is not expected to generate environmental benefits or benefits to the economy, business and trade. These benefits will be culminated with the implementation of Phase 2 of the scheme. However, as assessed during Phase 1, they could lead to a better monitoring of fuel consumption which could spur more research in and implementation of fuel-efficient technologies in the medium and long term.
Implementation, enforcement and service standards
The aviation industry at large supports the implementation of CORSIA internationally. The implementation timeframe is two months from the publication of the Regulations in the Canada Gazette, Part II.
These Regulations would be enforced through the assessment of administrative monetary penalties imposed by designated provisions under sections 7.6 to 8.2 of the Aeronautics Act, and which carry a maximum fine of $5,000 for individuals and $25,000 for corporations. The surveillance of these Regulations related to the monitoring, reporting and verification of CO2 emissions from international aviation includes the ongoing monitoring of the aviation activities of Canadian private operators and air operators using internal data sources to ensure that these operators are proactively identified; and the ongoing monitoring of the submission timelines relating to plans and reports included in the Regulations.
Members of the aviation community have a shared interest, commitment and responsibility for the sustainability of aviation, and are expected to operate on the basis of common sense, personal responsibility and respect for others. Prior to assessing administrative monetary penalties, Transport Canada will be encouraging open communication with industry for violations where there is no threat to Canada meeting its obligations within the global implementation of CORSIA, especially in cases where there are mitigating circumstances. As per Transport Canada enforcement policy, administrative monetary penalties will be assessed gradually.
In particular, by April 30, 2019, Transport Canada will be required to submit to ICAO a list of affected operators that we oversee, a list of verification bodies accredited in Canada, and approve emissions monitoring plans, for those that are submitted by February 28, 2019. Annually, starting in 2020, Transport Canada will be required to: undertake order of magnitude checks of emissions reports by August 31, submit aggregated information on our operators to ICAO by August 31 of each year and submit to ICAO by November 30 of each year any updates to our list of operators and accredited verification bodies.
