2. For each of the GHGs listed in Table 1 of Schedule 1, a person subject to this notice shall report the following information for each facility that meets the reporting threshold set out in Schedule 3 of this notice:

(a) the total quantity in tonnes of direct emissions of carbon dioxide, in each of the following source categories: stationary fuel combustion emissions, industrial process emissions, venting emissions, flaring emissions, fugitive emissions, on-site transportation emissions, waste emissions, and wastewater emissions. The person subject to this notice shall not include CO₂ emissions from biomass combustion in the above-mentioned source categories, but shall report these emissions separately;
(b) the total quantity in tonnes of direct emissions of methane and nitrous oxide, in each of the following source categories: stationary fuel combustion emissions, industrial process emissions, venting emissions, flaring emissions, fugitive emissions, on-site transportation emissions, waste emissions, and wastewater emissions. The person subject to this notice shall include CH₄ and N₂O emissions from biomass combustion in the above-mentioned source categories;

Note: Table 2, below, provides a table for the reporting of these gases.

Table 2: Table for reporting certain GHGs by source category
Gas	Stationary Fuel Combustion	Industrial Process	Venting	Flaring	Fugitive	On-site Transportation	Waste	Wastewater
	Source Categories
Carbon dioxide (excluding that from biomass combustion, which is to be reported further to paragraph (e))
Methane
Nitrous oxide
Total

(c) in instances where industrial process emissions are produced in combination with emissions from fuel combusted for energy purposes, the person subject to this notice shall report the emissions according to the purpose of the activity: if the purpose of the activity is energy production, the emissions shall be reported as stationary fuel combustion emissions; however, if the purpose of the activity is an industrial process rather than energy production, the emissions shall be reported as industrial process emissions; (see footnote 3)
(d) the total quantity in tonnes of direct emissions of sulphur hexafluoride and each hydrofluorocarbon and perfluorocarbon listed on Schedule 1 from industrial processes and industrial product use;
(e) the total quantity in tonnes of CO₂ from biomass combustion; and
(f) the method of estimation used to determine the quantities reported pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b), (d) and (e) chosen from monitoring or direct measurement, mass balance, emission factors, or engineering estimates.

3. CO₂ emissions from biomass decomposition are not to be reported.

4. The reported information is to include a Statement of Certification, signed by an authorized signing officer, indicating that the information submitted is true, accurate and complete.

5. If the reported information is subject to a request for confidentiality pursuant to section 51 of the Act, the person subject to this notice shall identify which information is subject to the request and the reasons for the request in accordance with section 52 of the Act.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the notice.)

In March 2004, the Government of Canada initiated a phased approach to the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and related information. This mandatory greenhouse gas reporting program was launched through the publication of the first Canada Gazette notice in March 2004, which set out basic reporting requirements. This notice is the twelfth in a series of notices requiring the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. This program is part of Canada's effort to develop, through a collaborative process with provinces and territories, a harmonized and efficient reporting system that will meet the information needs of all levels of government, provide Canadians with reliable and timely information on GHG emissions and support regulatory initiatives.

Reporting requirements on greenhouse gas emissions outlined in this notice are met via Environment Canada's Single Window (EC SW) system that was launched in March 2010. The EC SW system currently collects data for Environment Canada's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Program and for British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario, to support provincial GHG reporting regulations; the National Pollutant Release Inventory and its partners and various other partner programs. The EC SW system is currently being considered for GHG reporting by other provinces. The use of a single system for reporting on GHG emissions helps to reduce the reporting burden on industry, and the overall cost to Government. The system requires industry to submit information that is common to multiple jurisdictions once, but also accommodates reporting requirements and thresholds that are jurisdiction specific.

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) in 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 http://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.

Footnotes

Footnote 1
Since many greenhouse gases (GHGs) exist and their GWPs vary, the emissions are added in a common unit, namely a CO₂ equivalent. To express GHG emissions in units of CO₂ equivalent, the quantity of a given GHG (expressed in units of mass) is multiplied by its GWP.
Footnote 2
The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number is the property of the American Chemical Society, and any use or redistribution, except as required in supporting regulatory requirements and/or for reports to the Government of Canada when the information and the reports are required by law or administrative policy, is not permitted without the prior, written permission of the American Chemical Society.
