EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the notice.)
Methyl bromide has been regulated since 1995. Under the Ozone-depleting Substances Regulations (ODS Regulations), a consumption allowance system had been set up, under which a certain quantity of methyl bromide is allotted to each user who applied methyl bromide as a fumigant between 1991 and 1993. A first reduction of 25 percent of the allowances occurred on January 1, 1998, a second reduction of 50 percent occurred on January 1, 2001, and a third reduction of 70 percent occurred on January 1, 2003. A complete ban will be in place on January 1, 2005, as indicated in the Regulations Amending the Ozone-depleting Substances Regulations, 1998, published on January 3, 2001, in the Canada Gazette, Part II. The purpose of these amendments is to clarify the Regulations and to reflect Canada's international commitments under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.
In this context of elimination of the quantities available, the information collected will assist Environment Canada to determine the uses of methyl bromide, especially for the quantities used in critical and emergency uses, and to assess the need for further control strategies.
This notice is published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, pursuant to paragraph 71(1)(b) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999). This notice requires the persons to whom it applies to provide certain information on their activities with respect to methyl bromide.
Pursuant to subsection 71(3) of CEPA 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 April 14, 2004.
Compliance with CEPA 1999 is mandatory. Subsection 272(1) of CEPA 1999 provides that
272. (1) Every person commits an offence who contravenes
(a) a provision of this Act or the regulations;
(b) an obligation or a prohibition arising from this Act or the regulations;
(c) an order or a direction made under this Act;
...
Subsection 272(2) of CEPA 1999 provides that
272. (2) Every person who commits an offence under subsection (1) is liable
(a) on conviction on indictment, to a fine of not more than $1,000,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than three years, or to both; and
(b) on summary conviction, to a fine of not more than $300,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both.
Furthermore, with respect to providing false or misleading information, subsection 273(1) of CEPA 1999 provides that
273. (1) Every person commits an offence who, with respect to any matter related to this Act or the regulations,
(a) provides any person with any false or misleading information, results or samples; or
(b) files a document that contains false or misleading information.
Subsection 273(2) of CEPA 1999 provides that
273. (2) Every person who commits an offence under subsection (1) is liable
(a) on conviction on indictment, to a fine of not more than $1,000,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than three years, or to both, if the offence is committed knowingly;
(b) on summary conviction, to a fine of not more than $300,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both, if the offence is committed knowingly;
(c) on conviction on indictment, to a fine of not more than $500,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than three years, or to both, if the offence is committed negligently; and
(d) on summary conviction, to a fine of not more than $200,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both, if the offence is committed negligently.
The above provisions of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 have been reproduced for convenience of reference only. If there is any variance between the above provisions and the wording of CEPA 1999, the Act prevails. For all purposes of interpreting and applying the law, readers should consult the Act as passed by Parliament, which is published in Part III of the Canada Gazette ("Acts assented to") and the annual Statutes of Canada.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
FOOD AND DRUGS ACT
Food and Drug Regulations — Amendment
Interim Marketing Authorization
Provision currently exists in the Food and Drug Regulations for the addition of sucrose esters of fatty acids to carotenoid colour preparations to a maximum level of 1.5 percent.
Health Canada has received a submission to permit the use of sucrose esters of fatty acids as a stabilizer and an emulsifier in unstandardized confectionary products at a maximum level of 0.5 percent. Evaluation of available data supports the effectiveness and safety of this new use for sucrose esters of fatty acids. The use of this food additive will benefit the consumer through the availability of quality unstandardized confectionary products. It will also benefit industry by facilitating the manufacture and the increased stability of these food products.
Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of sucrose esters of fatty acids as a stabilizer and an emulsifier in unstandardized confectionary products at a maximum level of 0.5 percent.
As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, Health Canada issues an Interim Marketing Authorization (IMA) to permit the immediate use of sucrose esters of fatty acids, as indicated above, while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.

RADIOCOMMUNICATION ACT
Notice No. DGTP-003-04 — Revisions to the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations
This notice announces the release of the revised Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations. Proposals to amend the Canadian Table were made in Canada Gazette Notice No. DGTP-002-02 dated April 5, 2002, based on most of the decisions adopted by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) at the World Radio Conference 2000 (WRC-2000).
The Canadian Table allocates frequency bands to radio services within the scope of the International Table and as required to meet Canadian needs. Canadian footnotes provide the particular provisions and conditions for use of those radio services in Canada.
The Department has initiated or will initiate separate public consultations on domestic allocations in several frequency bands. Allocation decisions will be announced in due course. These bands include
— 614-806 MHz;
— 1 710-2 200 MHz;
— 2 500-2 690 MHz; and
— 3-30 GHz (selected domestic footnotes).
With the exception of the above allocation proceedings underway, the revisions incorporated into the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations reflect the results of the consultation on the WRC-2000 decisions. Since the release of the Canadian Table in 2000, there have been administrative and formatting changes to the Canadian footnotes using the ITU standard wording.
Also, the Department will soon be launching a consultation on the adoption of the decisions of WRC-2003.
To Obtain Copies
Copies of this notice and the revised Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations are available electronically on the Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Web site at http://strategis.gc.ca/spectrum.
Official printed copies of notices can be obtained from the Canada Gazette Web site at http://canadagazette.gc.ca/subscription-eng.html or by calling the sales counter of Canadian Government Publishing at (613) 941-5995 or 1-800-635-7943.

MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT
Notice of Publication of Revision 2 of Technical Standards Document No. 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems," and Technical Standards Document No. 121, "Air Brake Systems"
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to section 12 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act and sections 16 and 17 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations, that the Department of Transport has revised Technical Standards Document (TSD) No. 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems," and TSD No. 121, "Air Brake Systems," which specify requirements governing hydraulic, electric, and air brake systems. Revision 2 of these two TSDs is effective as of the date of publication of this notice and will become enforceable six months thereafter. Vehicles manufactured during the six-month interim period may conform to the requirements of either Revision 1 or Revision 2 of the TSDs.
TSD No. 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems," and TSD No. 121, "Air Brake Systems," reproduce U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards No. 105 and No. 121 of the same titles, and they are incorporated by reference in sections 105 and 121 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. The revision of these two TSDs replicates the regulatory text of the Final Rule issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation that was published in the Federal Register on August 11, 2003 (Vol. 68, No. 154, p. 47485).
Revision 2 of TSD No. 105 introduces a new requirement for vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 4 536 kg that are equipped with hydraulic and electric brakes to pass the braking-in-a-curve test, whereas the new revision of TSD No. 121 extends this requirement, which currently applies to truck tractors only, to single-unit trucks and buses that are equipped with air brakes. The addition of this test is intended to complement the existing antilock brake system and stopping distance requirements.
The revision of TSD No. 105 also adds the definitions "full brake application" and "maximum drive-through speed," and Table 1 in both TSDs has been updated to include the new test. In addition, a requirement has been added to both TSDs that, when alternative compliance options are permitted, manufacturers must identify, prior to certification, the option that they have selected for a particular vehicle, make, or model.
Copies of Revision 2 of TSDs No. 105 and 121 may be obtained on the Internet at www.tc.gc.ca/RoadSafety/mvstm_tsd/index_e.htm. Any inquiries regarding the revision of these TSDs should be directed to Winson Ng, Regulatory Development Engineer, Standards and Regulations Division, Road Safety and Motor Vehicle Regulation Directorate, Department of Transport, 330 Sparks Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N5, (613) 998-1949 (Telephone), (613) 990-2913 (Facsimile), ngwk@tc.gc.ca (Internet address).
