EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This explanatory note is not part of the Notice of Intent.)
Description
The Notice of Intent (NOI) is an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed amendments to the Domestic Substances List (DSL) to apply the significant new activity (SNAc) provisions of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (see footnote 1) (CEPA) to the 54 substances listed in Table 1, pursuant to subsection 87(3) of that Act.
Within 60 days of publication of the NOI, any person may submit comments to the Minister of the Environment. These comments will be taken into consideration during the development of the Order amending the DSL to apply the SNAc provisions to the 54 substances listed in Table 1.
A number of other SNAc instruments that will also target consumer products are to be published in the near future. As a result, stakeholder input provided in response to the consumer product language proposed in this NOI may not be reflected in upcoming NOIs due to publication timelines. However, the input will be taken into consideration during the development of all related notices and orders that pertain to consumer products.
The DSL amendments are not in force until the Order is adopted by the Minister pursuant to subsection 87(3) of CEPA. The Order must be published in the Canada Gazette, Part II.
Information-gathering methods other than the use of the SNAc provisions were considered, including the addition of the substance to the list of substances subject to the Inventory Update under CEPA, and the periodic market surveillance of products through the analysis of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). (see footnote 2) However, these tools would collect information after the substance may have been used in consumer products. This could lead to exposure levels of concern.
Applicability of the proposed Order
It is proposed that the Order amending the DSL require any person (individual or corporation) engaging in a significant new activity in relation to any of the 54 substances listed in Table 1 to submit a Significant New Activity Notification (SNAN) containing all of the information prescribed in the Order at least 90 days prior to the import, manufacture or use of the substance for the significant new activity.

In order to address ecological concerns, the Order would target activities where any of the substances listed in Part A of Table 1 are used in Canada in a quantity greater than 100 kg for any given calendar year, including the use of the substance as a research and development substance, a site-limited intermediate substance, or an export-only substance. Given the ecological concerns associated with these substances, the use of the substances, even in small quantities, would represent a significant risk to the environment, as discharges to the environment could occur from industrial or commercial activities or from down-the-drain releases. The terms “research and development substance” and “site-limited intermediate substance” are defined in subsection 1(1) of the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers). (see footnote 3) An export-only substance is a substance that is manufactured or imported in Canada and destined solely for foreign markets.
In order to address human health concerns, the Order would target the use of the substances listed in Part B of Table 1 in consumer products to which the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (see footnote 4) (CCPSA) applies, as well as in cosmetics, within the meaning of section 2 of the Food and Drugs Act (FDA). Consumer products and cosmetics are potential sources of direct and significant human exposure to these substances. For the manufacture of such products, notification would be required when the concentration of the substance in the product is equal to or greater than the concentration specified in Table 1 for each substance.
For any other activities related to consumer products or cosmetics, notification would be required when, in a calendar year, the concentration of the substance in the product is equal to or greater than the concentration specified in Table 1 for each substance, and the total quantity of the substance to be used in the manufacture, import, or use of the product is greater than 10 kg.
In order to address human health concerns, the Order would also target activities not related to consumer products or cosmetics where any of the substances in Part B of Table 1 are used in Canada in a quantity greater than 1 000 kg in any given calendar year, with the exception of uses of the substances as research and development, site-limited intermediate, or export-only substances. The potential for exposure of humans to the substances from these uses is expected to be low.
Activities not subject to the proposed Order
In relation to the substances listed in Part A of Table 1, the Order would be broadly applicable. Therefore, any activity involving the use of any of these substances in a quantity less than 100 kg for any given calendar year would not require notification.
In relation to the substances listed in Part B of Table 1, the manufacture of consumer products or cosmetics that contain any of the substances at a concentration less than the concentration specified for each substance in Table 1 would be excluded from the application of the proposed Order. Similarly, any other activity involving a consumer product or a cosmetic would not be subject to the Order if the total quantity of the substance used in the manufacture, import or use of such products is 10 kg or less in a calendar year. For activities involving more than 10 kg of the substance in a calendar year, the Order would not apply if the concentration of the substance in the consumer product or cosmetic involved in the activity is less than the concentration specified in Table 1 for each substance. For any other activity not related to consumer products or cosmetics, any activity where less than 1 000 kg of the substance is used during a calendar year would be excluded from the application of the Order. In addition, the use of any of these substances as research and development, site-limited intermediate, or export-only substances would be excluded from the Order, as the potential for exposure of humans to the substances from these uses is expected to be low.
The proposed Order would not apply to products to which the CCPSA does not apply (see Annex A for the CCPSA definition of “consumer product” and exemptions), with the exception of cosmetics within the meaning of section 2 of the FDA, or to uses of these substances that are regulated under the Acts of Parliament listed in Schedule 2 of CEPA, including, for example, the Pest Control Products Act, the Fertilizers Act and the Feeds Act. The Order would also not apply to transient reaction intermediates, impurities, contaminants, or partially unreacted intermediates, or in some circumstances to items such as, but not limited to, wastes, mixtures or manufactured items. However, it should be noted that individual components of a mixture may be subject to notification under the Order. See subsection 81(6) and section 3 of CEPA, and section 3 of the Guidelines for the Notification and Testing of New Substances: Chemicals and Polymers for additional information. (see footnote 5)
Information to be submitted
The NOI sets out the proposed requirements for information that would need to be provided to the Minister 90 days before the day on which the substances are imported, manufactured or used for a significant new activity. The Department of the Environment and the Department of Health will use the information submitted in the SNAN to conduct human health and environmental assessments within 90 days after the complete information is received.
The information requirements in the proposed Order relate to general information in respect of the substances, details surrounding their use, and exposure information. Some of the proposed information requirements are set out in the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers).
For the substances listed in Part A of Table 1, information requirements are proposed due to the potential ecological effects of these substances, which are expected based on their relatively high aquatic ecotoxicity. These requirements include, but are not limited to, for water-soluble substances with a solubility below 0.1 mg/L, an acute sediment toxicity test report; for substances with a water solubility between 1 mg/L and 0.1 mg/L, both an acute sediment toxicity test report and an acute aquatic toxicity test report; and for substances with a water solubility greater than 1 mg/L, an acute aquatic toxicity test report. These requirements also include details on the waste management practices with respect to the substance notified in the SNAN.
For the substances listed in Part B of Table 1, information requirements include, but are not limited to, a description of the consumer product or cosmetic containing the notified substance, its mode of use or application, and the total quantity of the product expected to be sold in a calendar year.
Additional guidance on preparing a SNAN can be found in section 4 of the Guidelines for the Notification and Testing of New Substances: Chemicals and Polymers.
Compliance
When assessing whether or not a substance is subject to SNAc provisions, (see footnote 6) a person is expected to make use of information in their possession or to which they ought to have access. The phrase “to which they ought to have access” means information in any of the notifier's offices worldwide or other locations where the notifier can reasonably have access to the information. For example, manufacturers are expected to have access to their formulations, while importers or users of a substance, mixture, or product are expected to have access to import records, usage information and the relevant SDS.
Although an SDS is an important source of information on the composition of a purchased product, it should be noted that the goal of the SDS is to protect the health of workers in the workplace from specific hazards of chemical products. Therefore, an SDS may not list all product ingredients that may be subject to an order due to public health or environmental concerns. Any person requiring more detailed information on product composition is encouraged to contact their supplier.
If any information becomes available that reasonably supports the conclusion that any of the substances identified in this proposed Order are toxic or capable of becoming toxic, the person who is in possession or has knowledge of the information and is involved in activities with the substance is obligated, under section 70 of CEPA, to provide that information to the Minister without delay.
A company can submit a SNAN on behalf of its clients. For example, in cases where a person takes possession and control of a substance from another person, they may not be required to submit a SNAN, under certain conditions, if their activities were covered by the original SNAN. The Substances Management Advisory Note, “Clarification in relation to the submission of Significant New Activity Notifications in application of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999,” provides more detail on this subject. (see footnote 7)
Any person who transfers the physical possession or control of a substance subject to an order should notify all persons to whom the physical possession or control is transferred of the obligation to comply with the Order, including the obligation to notify the Minister of any significant new activity and to provide all the required information outlined above.
A pre-notification consultation (PNC) is available for notifiers who wish to consult during the planning or preparation of their SNAN to discuss any questions or concerns they have about the prescribed information and test plans.
Where a person has questions concerning their obligations to comply with a notice or order, believes they may be out of compliance, or would like to request a PNC, they are encouraged to discuss their particular circumstances by contacting the Substances Management Information Line. (see footnote 8)
CEPA is enforced in accordance with the publicly available Compliance and Enforcement Policy for the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. (see footnote 9) In instances of non-compliance, consideration is given to factors such as the nature of the alleged violation, potential harm, intent, and history of compliance.
ANNEX A
Consumer product definition in the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) (see footnote 10)
In section 2 of the CCPSA, “consumer product” means a product, including its components, parts or accessories, that may reasonably be expected to be obtained by an individual to be used for non-commercial purposes, including for domestic, recreational and sports purposes, and includes its packaging.
