REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT
(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)
Executive summary
Issues: The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR) are not aligned with the latest international codesfootnote 1 that set out rules for classifying and packaging dangerous goods, as well as marking, documentation and training. This lack of harmonization directly affects Canadian stakeholders as they contend with multiple sets of requirements for both domestic and international transportation, imposing an administrative and economic burden and putting them at a competitive disadvantage. Also, differences between Canadian and American regulations create regulatory barriers that impede the seamless transportation of dangerous goods across the border, resulting in additional costs, delays, and administrative burden. In addition, the provisions for air transport lack clarity and impose costs on stakeholders because they do not reflect current domestic needs, including the need to transport dangerous goods to remote communities.
Description: The Regulations Amending Certain Regulations Made Under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992 (Part 12 and International Harmonization Update) [the proposed Regulations] would incorporate changes and new requirements adopted in the 22nd edition of the United Nations Model Regulations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN Recommendations) and the 2020 edition of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code). Associated changes to the proposed Regulations would include amendments to dangerous goods safety marks, classification information, shipping namesfootnote 2, and packaging requirements. The proposed Regulations would include updates to Canadian standards that are incorporated by reference, to better align with the UN Recommendations for the design, manufacture, and use of means of containment.footnote 3 The proposed Regulations would also allow the use of dangerous goods safety marks prescribed under Title 49 of the United States (U.S.) Code of Federal Regulations (U.S. 49 CFR) and special permits issued in the United States for the transportation of dangerous goods across North America by road and railway vehicles. Finally, the proposed Regulations would rewrite Part 12 of the TDGR to clarify air transportation requirements and update provisions for transport to remote locations and exemptions for medical, scientific, industrial, aerial and enforcement activities to reflect current domestic needs.
Rationale: The proposed Regulations would increase alignment with international dangerous goods codes. This alignment would clarify requirements and reduce the administrative and financial burden on consignorsfootnote 4 and carriers. The revised air provisions would replace outdated requirements with provisions that are clear and reflect current needs in Canada. Moreover, the proposed Regulations would remove several regulatory barriers, increasing the efficiency of importing and exporting dangerous goods across the different modes of transport.
The proposed Regulations would result in a net cost of about $0.49 million between 2023 and 2032 (discounted to the year 2023 at a 7% discount rate and expressed in 2021 dollars). The total monetized cost is estimated at $3.15 million, $3.13 million of which would be assumed by industry stakeholders transporting dangerous goods due to compliance with a new requirement to retest containers every five years, and $0.02 million by the Government of Canada. During the same period, it is expected that the total monetized cost savings (benefits) would be an estimated $2.66 million ($0.08 million for industry stakeholders and $2.58 million by the Government of Canada).
Several benefits associated with the proposed Regulations are not monetized due to a lack of data. For example, the proposed Regulations would help fulfill Canada’s international commitments; improve safety; clarify existing requirements; and introduce flexibilities to improve efficiency. Considering these qualitative benefits, along with the monetized benefits ($2.66 million), Transport Canada (TC) expects that the overall benefits of the proposed Regulations would outweigh the monetized costs.
The one-for-one rule applies since there is an incremental decrease in administrative burden on business, and the proposal is considered a burden “out” under the rule. Under this regulatory proposal, there would be a reduction of the annualized administrative burden cost of $9,288 for all affected businesses, or $13.78 per business (discounted to the year 2012 at a 7% discount rate expressed in 2012 Canadian dollars). The proposed Regulations would affect 65 small businesses that are manufacturers of means of containment; these businesses would bear a total of $1.47 million between 2023 and 2032.
Issues
International harmonization
The TDGR are not aligned with international codes. Recent updates to these codes include requirements for hazard classification criteria, hazard communication tools, and transport conditions for dangerous goods that increase safety and promote efficiency and cost savings in the dangerous goods regime. Delays in adopting these changes in the TDGR prolong barriers in the dangerous goods regulatory system, place undue economic and administrative burden on stakeholders, and prevent Canadian industries from reaping the benefits of these updates. In addition, differences between the TDGR and the U.S. 49 CFR can cause an impediment for consignors on both sides of the border as they contend with two sets of requirements. The lack of harmonization imposes a burden on business operations and on cross-border trade.
Classification of dangerous goods
Under the international classification scheme, if a substance is listed in the Dangerous Goods List,footnote 5 it is considered a dangerous good. Canada’s dangerous goods list is found in Schedule 1 of the TDGR. However, even if a substance is included in Schedule 1 of the TDGR, a consignor in Canada must determine, based on experimental tests, if the substance is in fact a dangerous good. There are also many dangerous goods that are not listed by name in Schedule 1 that meet the criteria of dangerous goods through testing (flammable liquids, corrosive substances, etc.). Given that the dangerous goods included in Schedule 1 are already classified, requiring validation of the internationally agreed upon classification is unnecessarily onerous for stakeholders.
Stakeholders also find it challenging to comply with the outdated classification provisions in the TDGR, most of which date back prior to 2001. Since 2001, the UN Recommendations have incorporated multiple changes to the classification provisions. These changes, however, have not been introduced in the TDGR, and this lack of alignment means that Canadian consignors are missing out on the use of safer and more practical testing methods for classifying dangerous goods that are not listed under common names in Schedule 1.
New UN numbers
The latest edition of the UN Recommendations includes 16 new UN numbersfootnote 6 and shipping names for solid medical waste, articles that contain dangerous goods, lithium batteries and toxic and flammable solids. These new UN numbers allow certain dangerous goods to be classified more accurately. They also come with new special provisions that, among other things, provide exemptions, clarifications, and packaging provisions that are adapted specifically for the dangerous goods. They were created by the UN because the previous requirements did not sufficiently address certain needs for packaging and transport. For example, following outbreaks of Ebola in 2014 and 2016, there was a lack of available packaging suitable for transporting the large volumes of Category Afootnote 7 waste known to be contaminated with the Ebola virus. As a result, the UN created UN3549, MEDICAL WASTE, CATEGORY A, AFFECTING HUMANS, solid, which enables the consignor to better classify this waste and allows them to use packaging adapted to accommodate large quantities of such waste. Under the TDGR, this waste must currently be classified as UN2814, INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE, AFFECTING HUMANS, and can only be transported in a small means of containment. Without the introduction of these new classification and packaging options, Canada’s response to and control of an outbreak involving a need to transport large quantities of medical waste could be hindered, which could in turn affect public safety.
Because these new UN numbers and associated provisions have not yet been added to the TDGR, consignors in Canada are transporting dangerous goods under shipping names and classifications that may not adequately convey the hazards posed by the dangerous goods, or in packaging that is suboptimal. In addition, because these new UN numbers and shipping names are used internationally but are not found in the TDGR, consignors of international shipments must either provide two different shipping documents (one with the TDGR UN number and shipping name that most closely reflects the dangerous goods and one with the internationally used UN number and shipping name) or modify a single shipping document to meet the classification requirements in Canada and the destination country or country of origin.
Special provisions
Recent international updates to special provisionsfootnote 8 have not yet been introduced in the TDGR. These special provisions can relate to hazard communication (i.e. how and what to display on the means of containment), classification variations based on the quantity of dangerous goods, prohibitions on very dangerous substances or exemptions for dangerous goods which pose low risks. As a result of the inconsistency between the TDGR and the international special provisions, Canadian consignors are unable to benefit from cost-saving exemptions. In addition, if hazard communication requirements are not consistently applied and followed, there could be safety risks for emergency responders.
The following are some examples of inconsistency with the special provisions:
- Under the international codes, the transport of dry cotton (a flammable solid) by air and vessel is exempted from documentation, training and reporting when packaged in accordance with the international standard ISO 8115:1986. In Canada, however, the TDGR do not provide such a relief, which results in burden and costs to stakeholders who are already complying with ISO 8115:1986.
- The UN and the United States authorize the use of pallets or crates to transport acid or alkaline wet batteries in quantities that exceed 450 L in volume. In Canada, the use of pallets and crates to transport these quantities is only authorized under equivalency certificates (ECs).footnote 9 Transporting batteries in pallets and crates reduces stakeholders’ costs associated with packaging and labelling. However, the recurrent issuance of ECs imposes administrative burden to both stakeholders and the Government of Canada.
- The international codes prescribe specific provisions for the proper classification of certain radioactive materials that present more than one hazard (e.g. radioactive and flammable). Currently, the TDGR do not include provisions prescribing how to properly classify these dangerous goods.
- The IMDG Code has special provisions that provide exemption from the entire Code (i.e. classification, documentation, training, reporting, etc.) for the transportation of vehicles by vessel if conditions to prevent releases of fuel and certain stowage requirements are met. The TDGR require compliance with the IMDG Code for international marine transport so the exemptions in the IMDG Code apply for vehicles that are transported by vessel internationally. The TDGR do not, however, provide a similar exemption for vehicles that are transported domestically by vessel. Challenges arise when road vehicles are transported domestically for personal use. For example, a person wanting to ship their car or skidoo by boat within Canada needs to comply with all requirements of the TDGR, including preparing a shipping document and holding a valid training certificate. The U.S. 49 CFR also provides exemptions for vehicles transported by vessel. This creates confusion and poses challenges when vehicles are transported by vessel between the United States and Canada. Compliance with the TDGR is required for the transport of dangerous goods by vessel between Canada and the United States if the vessel is on an inland voyage. Thus, a vehicle shipped on an inland voyage from the United States to Canada would be exempt from the U.S. 49 CFR while in the United States but would be subject to all applicable requirements of the TDGR once in Canadian waters.
- The international codes provide specific information about the forms or concentrations of substances that are forbidden for transport or for which these codes do not apply. The TDGR are not perfectly aligned with these prohibitions and exemptions.
- Existing special provisions in Schedule 2 of the TDGR do not reflect the latest changes to the UN Recommendations: the international codes have added specific criteria for selecting the UN number and shipping name for lithium batteries contained in equipment and cargo transport units. Because the TDGR do not have similar provisions in Canada, consignors are not displaying the same dangerous goods safety marks as other countries. This makes it more complex for enforcement personnel to enforce the TDG Act and for first responders to plan emergency response because domestic and international consignments containing the same types of goods display different markings.
- To eliminate redundancies and make the requirements easier to understand, the UN Recommendations combined all provisions (four in total) concerning the classification of vehicles transported under UN3166 and UN3173 into one. These changes have not yet been incorporated into the TDGR.
- Unlike the international codes, the TDGR include wordy, complex, and numerous special provisions for the classification of ammonium nitrate-based mixtures.
- The TDGR impose several restrictions on the nature and quantity of dangerous goods permitted to be transported in polyester resin kits, chemical kits, and first aid kits whereas the international codes impose few restrictions on such consignments.
- The TDGR require that the shipping names of certain environmentally hazardous substances be supplemented with complex technical names. In the international codes, however, it is permitted to use a common name in the place of a technical name if the common name is found in the dangerous goods list presented in these codes (e.g. paint, perfumery products). This flexibility allows emergency responders to easily identify the dangerous goods. Requiring complex technical names impacts both consignors and first responders. Because the TDGR do not allow the use of common names in lieu of technical names for these dangerous goods, consignors importing these dangerous goods into Canada need to modify labels and documentation prior to domestic transport. Technical names are often not easy to understand for first responders who have to plan for the appropriate emergency response when these dangerous goods are involved in an incident.
- Many TDGR special provisions related to classification still refer to and include outdated requirements. If they are not updated, there would be a discrepancy with the new classification requirements in Part 2 of the TDGR.
Safety marks
Some of the safety mark requirements in the TDGR differ from those in the international codes. This misalignment imposes additional costs on consignors and may complicate the work of enforcement personnel and emergency responders, for example:
- The international codes allow the display of text on labels and placards to emphasize dangerous goods hazards. In Canada, such text is not allowed. This results in additional costs to stakeholders as consignments displaying labels and placards with text cannot be reshipped within Canada unless they are replaced with ones that comply with the TDGR.
- Unlike the international codes, the TDGR require that tank cars and highway tanks carrying petroleum crude oil containing toxic levels of hydrogen sulphide be marked with the words “toxic by inhalation.” Special provision 106 of the TDGR prescribes that when petroleum crude oil contains hydrogen sulphide in sufficient concentration that vapours evolved from the crude oil can present an inhalation hazard, the words “toxic by inhalation” or “toxic – inhalation hazard” must be included on a large means of containment, next to the placard for the primary class, and on the shipping document. This requirement, introduced in 2014, was supported by the findings of the 2015 TC study Crude Oil Research that identified alarming levels of hydrogen sulphide in samples of petroleum crude oil in transport, potentially exposing transportation personnel and first responders to this toxic gas during an incident. Between 2016 and 2020, TC conducted additional testing and discussions with stakeholders involved in crude oil classification. The result of this work allowed TC to support stakeholders in developing best practices to comply with TDGR classification requirements for petroleum crude oil. Petroleum crude oil presenting an inhalation toxicity hazard is appropriately classified and transported under UN3494, PETROLEUM SOUR CRUDE OIL, FLAMMABLE, TOXIC with the applicable “toxic” placard displayed on the large means of containment. In light of this joint work on crude oil classification, it was agreed that the marking prescribed under special provision 106 was unnecessary.
- The TDGR allow the use of a smaller label if a full-size label does not fit on the means of containment; however, some stakeholders have found the provision unclear and/or have been misusing it. In addition, there are situations where multiple labels are required, and full-size labels can fit on a means of containment only if each label is displayed on a different side of the means of containment. This impedes communication of the hazards posed by the dangerous goods inside the means of containment. Allowing multiple labels to be reduced so they can all be seen from the same vantage point would improve hazard communication and increase safety. Also, unlike the UN Recommendations, the TDGR do not allow for the use of labels reduced in size on cylinders in accordance with the ISO 7225:2005footnote 10 standard, which permits labels reduced to as small as 10 mm × 10 mm, based on the diameter of the cylinder. As well, the TDGR do not allow a form of shoulder labels on cylinders permitted under the U.S. 49 CFR and commonly referred to by industry as banana labels.footnote 11 In response to stakeholders’ requests, TC has issued ECs to allow the use of banana labels. The requirement to seek an EC for such labelling imposes administrative burden on both the Government and stakeholders.
- The TDGR do not currently include requirements for the size of UN numbers that must be displayed on a small means of containment, creating confusion for stakeholders as the international codes and the U.S. 49 CFR do.
Other issues
- Discrepancies between the terminology (e.g. class versus division) and definitions (e.g. gas) used in the TDGR and those of the UN Recommendations mean that, in Canada, stakeholders are still using terms and definitions that are obsolete or inaccurate in the international community, creating confusion for stakeholders.
- The TDGR do not allow the use of flexible intermediate bulk containersfootnote 12 to transport soils contaminated with flammable liquids. However, in response to stakeholder applications, TC has authorized this activity under ECs. Recurrent applications for, and issuances of, ECs impose an administrative cost on both industry and TC.
- In Canada, wet, non-spillable batteries (UN2800) are exempt from most parts of the TDGR as long as certain safety conditions are met. However, unlike the UN Recommendations, the exemption does not apply to batteries intended for disposal. This discrepancy creates unnecessary burden for stakeholders since transporting wet batteries for disposal under the exemption would pose no greater risk than transporting wet batteries for other purposes as the wet batteries already have to meet safety conditions in order to use the exemption.
- Under the TDGR and international codes, shipping names can be supplemented with “qualifying words” to communicate important characteristics of the dangerous goods. Under the UN Recommendations, IMDG Code, and the U.S. 49 CFR, the words “stabilized”, “temperature controlled” and “molten” must be added to the shipping names of certain dangerous goods. Currently, these words are not required under the TDGR. This creates inconsistency in hazard communication, which can affect decisions about the handling of dangerous goods.
Technical standards for means of containment
The Canadian standards CAN/CGSB-43.150 (former TP 14850) and CAN/CGSB-43.125, which set out requirements for the design, manufacture, and use of means of containment for the transportation of dangerous goods, have recently been updated to adopt changes introduced in the 20th and 21st edition of the UN Recommendations respectively. The updated standards introduce exemptions that would reduce costs significantly for consignors. Also, the introduction of a new standard for large packagings, CAN/CGSB-43.145, in the TDGR would reduce costs for consignors and provide Canadian manufacturers with the opportunity to manufacture and certify these types of containers in Canada, allowing them to compete in the manufacturing market. Not introducing this standard in the TDGR would impact competitiveness as Canada could not compete with other countries in the manufacture of large packagings.
Misalignments with the U.S. 49 CFR
Shipments to the United States and special permits
The United States allows the transport of dangerous goods into or through the United States from Canada or exported from the United States into Canada in accordance with the classification, documentation and marking requirements of the TDGR or an EC issued under the TDGR. While Canada provides reciprocity when dangerous goods are transported into or through Canada from the United States, it does not allow dangerous goods to be exported from Canada to the United States in accordance with the classification, documentation and marking requirements in the U.S. 49 CFR. Thus, under the TDGR, a shipment heading to the United States from Canada or a means of containment that originated in the United States, which is being returned to the United States (e.g. an empty tank car), cannot bear U.S. markings; it must meet Canadian classification, documentation and marking requirements. The lack of reciprocity between Canada and the United States creates burden for consignors as they must replace the placards displayed on the means of containment.
In addition, the TDGR do not allow dangerous goods to be exported from Canada to the United States in accordance with a special permit issued under the U.S. 49 CFR. This results in administrative burden for consignors who have to apply for two permits for one shipment (one under the TDGR for the Canadian portion of the journey and one under the U.S. 49 CFR for the U.S. portion of the journey). TC receives approximately five applications for ECs to transport dangerous goods to the United States by road or railway vehicle per year.
Labels and placards
Stakeholders have asked for a more flexible approach for identifying hazards on vehicles that transport dangerous goods between Canada and the United States. Due to differences between U.S. and Canadian labels and placards, consignors must carry both sets of markings.
Water pump systems tank exemption
The U.S. 49 CFR provides an exemption to allow pressurized tanks used in water pump systems to be transported to installation sites without having to meet the marking and specification packaging requirements. Because the TDGR do not provide the same exemption, stakeholders have had to apply to TC for ECs to transport these tanks across the Canada-United States border in accordance with the U.S. exemption.
Odourization of liquified petroleum gases (LPG)
Since LPG has almost no odour when produced at a refinery, an odourizer is added to protect people near or handling LPG. The odourization of LPG is useful for detection of potential leaks when the product is used as a fuel; however, LPG may also be used as a propellant in household aerosol products where the odourization of the gas would provide no benefit and would result in a less desirable product. The U.S. regulations require words on a means of containment containing non-odourized LPG but there is no equivalent requirement in the TDGR. Without this requirement safety is jeopardized as the hazards posed by these dangerous goods would not be immediately communicated to first responders and others involved in the transport of these dangerous goods.
Spelling and punctuation marks
Sometimes there is a difference in the spelling or punctuation required under the TDGR and the U.S. 49 CFR. In other cases, one regulation presents the required wording in uppercase letters while the other regulation presents it in lower case letters. These variations create confusion and challenges for consignors and carriers between Canada and the United States.
Use of packaging approved for air transport
The TDGR currently allow dangerous goods to be transported by road or railway vehicle to or from an aircraft or aerodrome in accordance with International Civil Aviation Organization Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO TI) classification, marking, labelling, and documentation requirements, but they do not allow them to be transported in accordance with certain packaging requirements in the ICAO TI. This creates compliance issues. The TDGR require vented closures on small containers used to transport certain dangerous goods by road or railway vehicle. However, the ICAO TI prohibit the use of vented containersfootnote 13 on aircraft due to the unique air pressure conditions during flight. The incompatibility of the two requirements creates a compliance issue for carriers who transport dangerous goods to and from an airport by road or railway vehicle.
Air provisions
General requirements
The current air provisions, found in Part 12 of the TDGR, are outdated. Under Part 12, the transport of dangerous goods by air must be done in accordance with both the ICAO TI and provisions of the TDGR. However, it is not clear whether the entire TDGR apply for air transport or just the specific provisions that are listed in Part 12, and whether the TDGR provisions apply in addition to the ICAO TI or instead of them. This lack of clarity and duplication of requirements make it difficult for consignors and air operators to comply.
Reporting
In alignment with the ICAO TI, the TDGR require air operators to report discoveries of dangerous goods that were transported but not properly declared or not declared at all. These reports must currently be made to the Canadian Transport Emergency Centre (CANUTEC)footnote 14 by phone as soon as possible. Air operators have recommended that dangerous goods found in passenger baggage be reported electronically on a monthly basis instead of by phone as soon as possible. Monthly reporting of undeclared or misdeclared dangerous goods found in passenger baggage would not negatively impact public safety as the purpose of these reports is to identify trends in passenger activity and to highlight where more airline and passenger awareness is needed to improve public safety. The TDGR address immediate public safety concerns through separate reporting requirements that require the reporting of dangerous goods incidents or accidents to CANUTEC as soon as possible. TC and some air operators agree that the current format of the telephone reports does not allow for optimal data consistency and analysis, as dangerous goods are not always reported in the same way depending on who is reporting them.
Explosives exemptions
Forbidden explosives
The current TDGR exemption for transporting certain explosives refers to quantity limits adopted internationally and found in the Supplement to the ICAO TIfootnote 15 (Supplement) but the Supplement does not include quantity limits for all the explosives, creating a gap in the TDGR. A quantity limit needs to be included in the TDGR explosives exemption to correct this gap.
In addition, many explosives are forbidden for air transport but are required to be transported by aircraft within Canada for industrial activities, such as mining, exploration, construction, and seismic work. Expansion in the North and evolving processes in these fields require explosives that are not covered in the current TDGR exemption for forbidden explosives. Because they are not listed in the exemption, consignors and operators must apply for ECs each time they need to transport a new type of explosive. The incorporation of the Supplement’s packing instructions in the TDGR would eliminate the need to obtain an EC which would remove administrative burden for both consignors and TC.
The current provisions allow these explosives to be transported on passenger flights. TC and stakeholders in the air industry feel that restricting the transport of these explosives to flights without passengers would protect public safety by preventing a potential incident involving these explosives on a passenger flight.
Low-hazard explosives
Additionally, stakeholders have suggested that the current exemption for low-hazard 1.4S explosivesfootnote 16 is complicated and hard to understand. It uses units of measurement that are not consistent with those used in the ICAO TI and duplicates existing ICAO TI requirements such as notifying the air carrier. It also includes provisions specific to dangerous goods carried by peace officers (e.g. firearms, flares) that would be better placed in a separate provision that addresses all types of dangerous goods carried by enforcement officers. Stakeholders have also asked that cap type primers and signal devices, such as flares, be included in the exemptions. TC agrees that they should be allowed under this exemption as they are important for public safety, and they pose a low hazard during transport.
Aerial work exemption and fire suppression
Aerial work is regulated under both the TDGR and the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs). The TDGR list specific activities, such as fire suppression, avalanche control and forestry, for which an exemption allows the transportation of certain dangerous goods that would otherwise be prohibited in order to carry out these activities. This list, however, does not align with the aerial work activities for which certificates are issued to air operators requesting to conduct aerial work under the CARs. This difference in scope can be confusing and increases the burden on air operators who transport dangerous goods and who must comply with both the CARs and the TDGR. Because of this inconsistency and because the type of aerial work activities for which dangerous goods are required continues to evolve, TC has had to issue 64 ECs for aerial work. Maintaining an up-to-date list of authorized activities is a challenge and applying for ECs is burdensome to stakeholders as well as to TC.
In addition, the aerial work exemption can only be used when the dangerous goods are used at the specific work location and for the primary purpose of the aerial work activity. This means that air transport of dangerous goods other than between the work location and the last aerodrome of departure is not exempt and must be conducted in accordance with the applicable TDGR requirements. This creates difficulties and burdens (delays, compliance issues, etc.) for first responders in the movement of dangerous goods required for aerial work activities.
Emergency response exemption
The general emergency response exemption for all modes of transport applies to dedicated emergency response vehicles only. In the air mode, this limitation creates burden and can result in delayed response times. Some emergency response aircraft are not used exclusively for emergency response; as a result, they cannot use the exemption. If a dedicated emergency aircraft is not available when an emergency arises, first responders must either wait for one to arrive or prepare their supplies for transport fully regulated on another aircraft, causing delays that can put lives at risk. Nine ECs have been issued to allow for non-dedicated aircraft to conduct life-saving operations.
Enforcement officer exemption
Enforcement officers such as peace and wildlife officers must transport certain dangerous goods, including firearms, ammunition, flares and bear spray, as part of their jobs. As these are forbidden on a passenger and cargo aircraft, TC has had to issue 18 ECs to provide enforcement officers exemptions to transport the dangerous goods they require to carry out their duties.
Operation of an aircraft exemption
Part 12 of the TDGR does not include an exemption for dangerous goods required for the operation and safety of an aircraft. These goods included fuel pumps needed to refuel aircraft flying in remote areas where there are no refuelling services, and spares kits needed for maintenance of helicopters.
Consumer commodities exemption
The current Part 12 provisions grant exemptions for dangerous goods that are distributed in retail packaging for household or personal use if certain conditions are met, but they are rarely used because the international consumer commodity provisions in the ICAO TI are sufficient. The one exception is paint, for which stakeholders have indicated a need to transport quantities larger than the ICAO TI limit of 0.5 L per container to remote locations for practical purposes.
Geological core samples and measuring instruments exemption
Part 12 of the TDGR contains exemptions for transporting geological core samples and measuring devices that contain radioactive materials; however, they are not needed as stakeholders say they can meet the full requirements of the ICAO TI for these goods.
Documentation
The current requirement for consignors and air operators to keep copies of shipping documents for two years after dangerous goods are transported by air does not align with the U.S. requirement of one year. It is believed that one year should be sufficient time to retain a document for the purpose of TC following up to a potential non-compliance issue.
Limited access
The limited access provisions, which aim to reduce obstacles to transporting essential dangerous goods to remote areas where access by other modes of transport is limited or impossible, pose many challenges. Limited access provisions grant exemption from transportation document and handling label requirements; provide relaxations for quantity limits and packaging; include a modified acceptance checklist; and allow the transport of certain dangerous goods that would otherwise be forbidden. For years, stakeholders have been asking for clarification of the term “limited access location.” Without a definition of limited access location in the TDGR, there is a potential that the provisions may be misinterpreted and/or applied inconsistently. In addition, the limited access provisions do not apply to larger aircraft, yet these aircraft travel to remote locations more frequently and the need to transport dangerous goods on these aircraft continues to increase. As a result, 21 ECs have been issued to allow the use of these provisions for larger aircraft. Applying for ECs poses administrative burden for operators. TC conducts an analysis upon receipt of each EC application and only issues an EC if it can be demonstrated that an equivalent level of safety can be achieved. TC has determined that transport of these dangerous goods in larger aircraft does not pose a greater risk than transporting them on smaller aircraft. In fact, larger aircraft typically have larger, separate cargo compartments that allow for the dangerous goods to be transported separately from passengers, which can provide a greater level of safety. In addition, with the larger capacity to transport these dangerous goods, fewer flights would be needed.
Limited access — gases
The current capacity limits in the TDGR gas provision do not reflect the capacities of cylinders in use today, which creates compliance issues when cylinders are transported under this provision. For example, the current limit is 100 L per cylinder; however, the actual capacity of a 100 lb cylinder is 110 L. The provision needs to be revised to reflect this.
As needs evolve, a greater variety of dangerous goods, including certain compressed gases, are required in remote locations. TC has issued 26 ECs for air operators to transport additional flammable gases under the limited access provisions and 21 ECs for non-flammable and non-toxic gases.
Limited access — flammable liquids
Certain flammable liquids such as heating oil and gasoline can be transported under the limited access provisions, but the Minister has issued seven equivalency and temporary certificates to allow the transport of additional flammable liquids like methanol and alcohol-based sanitizers and cleaning products. In addition, the current packaging requirements are outdated as they refer to types of means of containment that are no longer used, such as those found in old military standards, and some drums made based on outdated standards.
Limited access — bear bangers and bear spray
Animal deterrents such as bear bangersfootnote 17 and bear spray are needed by hunters and people living in remote areas for self-protection. TC has issued 90 ECs to air operators to transport bear bangers under the limited access provisions and 89 ECs to transport bear spray.
Limited access — wet batteries
Despite the current limited access battery provisions, 42 ECs have been issued to allow the use of non-specification outer packaging, such as a rigid container, wooden crate or a pallet, to transport wet batteries because specification packaging is not readily available in remote locations. TC has determined that transport in a non-specification rigid container, pallet or wooden crate provides more protection for these batteries than a specification cardboard box. In addition, these batteries often have a strong, impact-resistant outer casing that provides an additional layer of protection. Providing for the use of non-specification outer packaging would allow for the efficient transport of these dangerous goods from road to air since specification packaging is not required for transport by road, and operators in remote locations receive these batteries for shipment by air in non-specification packaging.
Limited access — engines, machinery and vehicles
The TDGR limited access provisions for transporting engines, machinery, and vehicles exclude those that are powered by flammable gas, thus limiting the options available to people working and living in remote communities. In addition, the provisions are complex, and some stakeholders have indicated that they are difficult to follow and/or comply with.
Background
The TDGR, under the authority of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992 (TDG Act), set out requirements for the safe transportation of dangerous goods in Canada. Dangerous goods include a variety of chemicals, such as heating fuels, fertilizers and pesticides, and consumer goods, such as cleaning products, portable phones, and paint. In addition to the TDGR, there are several international codes that govern the transport of dangerous goods internationally. These codes include the IMDG Code, the UN Recommendations, and the ICAO TI, which are incorporated by reference in the TDGR.
The TDGR are comprised of 16 parts and 3 schedules. Each part contains the requirements for a different aspect of the safety regime. For example, Part 2 specifies how dangerous goods must be classified while Parts 3, 4, and 5 set out requirements for documentation, safety marks, and means of containment, respectively. Requirements specific to each mode of transport are found in Parts 9 to 12 for road, rail, marine and air, respectively. Part 12 sets out Canada’s rules for international and domestic air transport. In addition to general air requirements, it contains exemptions that are intended to accommodate stakeholder needs and facilitate the transport of dangerous goods to remote locations. However, except for minor editorial changes, Part 12 has not been updated since 2008.
Schedule 1 of the TDGR lists the dangerous goods by UN number and includes classification and quantity limit information. Schedule 1 also lists special provisions applicable to some dangerous goods. These special provisions, found in Schedule 2, provide instructions such as exemptions, composition limits or additional requirements. Schedule 3 lists the shipping names of substances in alphabetical order followed by the UN number. Substances that are forbidden for transport are also included in this Schedule.
Alignment with international codes
To ensure consistency among regulatory frameworks around the world, the UN develops guidelines and recommendations for the safe transportation of dangerous goods by all modes of transportation (e.g. air, surface and water). The UN Recommendations are regularly amended to reflect the most recent scientific evidence and advancements in safe business practices related to the transportation of dangerous goods worldwide. These amendments, which are informed by experts from member countries, including Canada, are often related to the hazard classification criteria, hazard communication tools, and transport conditions (such as documentation, marking and packaging) of dangerous goods across all modes of transport.
Canada is a member of UN agencies including ICAO and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and is involved in the development of the UN Recommendations, the ICAO TI and the IMDG Code. It is expected that Canada will incorporate the principles laid down in the UN Recommendations and the international codes in order to increase worldwide harmonization in the transport of dangerous goods. Therefore, the TDGR need to be updated periodically to harmonize, to the greatest extent possible, with the UN Recommendations and the international codes. This internationally harmonized framework helps carriers, consignors, and enforcement authorities by facilitating compliance and trade between countries and by enhancing the safety of the transportation of dangerous goods both domestically and internationally.
Regulatory cooperation between Canada and the United States on matters related to dangerous goods was established in 2012 through the Regulatory Cooperation Council. TC continues to work closely with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to examine alignment of regulatory approaches to reduce the regulatory burden for the cross-border transportation of dangerous goods.
Air transportation
In Canada, the transportation of dangerous goods by air must follow the ICAO TI as well as certain parts of the TDGR. However, Canada’s vast geography and particular domestic circumstances necessitate unique provisions and exemptions for certain activities. Current exemptions in the TDGR that are intended to facilitate domestic transport for medical aid, consumer commodities, geological core samples, measuring instruments, aerial work (such as fire suppression and avalanche control), and explosives (for mining, exploration and seismic work) have not been modified or removed to reflect current scientific practices, updates to Canada’s transportation system, and the expansion of mining, construction and industrial activities in remote locations.
The TDGR include variations and exemptions to facilitate the transport of dangerous goods, such as fuels and machinery, to remote locations in Canada, where access by other modes of transportation is limited or impossible. These “limited access” provisions require updating to provide clarity and to better address current needs for liquid fuels, sanitizer, bear deterrents, paint, and compressed gasses used by industry. They also need updating so they can apply to larger aircraft that are not currently able to use these provisions.
Regulatory reviews
Budgets 2018 and 2019 provided funding for the Government to pursue a regulatory reform agenda to improve the agility, transparency, and responsiveness of the Canadian regulatory system. This included targeted regulatory reviews, which examine regulations and regulatory practices, and identify novel regulatory approaches, to support economic growth and innovation in Canada. A central feature of the regulatory reviews, which are coordinated by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) in partnership with federal departments and agencies, is stakeholder engagement. Through the regulatory review consultation process, stakeholders identified the need to bring forward specific updates to the TDGR to remove barriers.
This initiative yielded an array of comments from industry concerned mainly with the misalignment between the TDGR and international codes as well as with the United States. Specifically, industry asked for closer alignment with the U.S. regulations regarding the placarding of trucks and tank cars and for the adoption of international marking requirements to reduce confusion and eliminate costs related to the purchase of markings only prescribed in Canada. Stakeholders also highlighted the importance of having flexibility and more frequent updates to the transportation regime to keep pace with international progress and developing regulations that meet the needs of the regulated community.
Objective
The main objective of the proposed Regulations is to align, to the extent possible,footnote 18 the TDGR with the most recent versions of the UN Recommendations, the ICAO TI, the IMDG Code and U.S. 49 CFR. Through this harmonization, the proposed Regulations would
- facilitate the transport of dangerous goods between Canada and the United States;
- promote competitiveness by introducing a technical standard for the manufacture of large packaging, which would allow Canadian stakeholders to enter the international manufacturing market for these packagings;
- enhance safety for Canadian businesses by adopting cost saving amendments and safe alternative provisions in the TDGR; and
- improve clarity, consistency and certainty for stakeholders by ensuring that the same requirements apply to both domestic and international transport of dangerous goods.
An additional objective is to facilitate the transport of dangerous goods by air within Canada, particularly for remote locations, by clarifying and updating the air provisions of the TDGR to better reflect current domestic needs.
Description
The proposed Regulations would incorporate the most recent changes adopted under the international codes, introduce updated technical standards for means of containment, and improve reciprocity with the U.S. 49 CFR.
Classification of dangerous goods
The proposed Regulations would simplify the classification process by referring directly, where possible, to the classification provisions in the UN Recommendations, except for the classification of explosives and radioactive materials, which are regulated under the Explosives Regulations, 2013 and the Packaging and Transport of Nuclear Substances Regulations, 2015 respectively. This would allow for use of the most up-to-date classification provisions and provide harmonization. The modifications would also streamline the process of determining when a substance is a dangerous good. Where a dangerous good is listed by name in Schedule 1 of the TDGR, the requirement to demonstrate, usually through testing, how a substance is considered a dangerous good would be eliminated, as this condition is not required under the international codes.
New UN numbers
The proposed Regulations would introduce 16 UN numbers that were recently added to the UN Recommendations for dangerous goods and articles containing dangerous goods, including lithium batteries installed in cargo transport units and cobalt dihydroxide powder. These UN numbers along with their respective shipping names would be added to Schedule 1 of the TDGR so that these dangerous goods are transported under a more appropriate name, which would result in better hazard communication.
Special provisions
The proposed Regulations would introduce new special provisions to, namely
- Exempt dry cotton bales meeting International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard ISO 8115:1986footnote 19 from most parts of the TDGR;
- Allow the transport of acid or alkaline wet batteries on pallets as prescribed in Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) standard CGSB-43.150;
- Clarify the appropriate classification to be assigned for radioactive materials transported in excepted packages;
- Provide an exemption for vehicles transported by vessel in Canada;
- Assist in the determination of the most appropriate shipping names for certain substances and articles, such as lithium batteries packed with or contained in equipment, lithium batteries installed in a cargo transport unit and medical waste; and
- Specify the forms or concentrations of substances that are forbidden for transport or for which the TDGR do not apply. For example, diluted crotonaldehyde is not allowed in transport if it has not been stabilized and barium sulphate is exempted.
Existing special provisions in Schedule 2 would be updated to reflect changes to the UN Recommendations or to provide clarification, including
- Updating several provisions for lithium batteries;
- Combining provisions for classifying vehicles into one provision;
- Simplifying provisions for classifying ammonium nitrate-based fertilizer;
- Combining provisions for chemical kits and first-aid kits, and adding quantity limits;
- Allowing polyester resin kits to be transported in limited quantities;
- Allowing the use of a shipping name as the technical name for environmentally hazardous substances;
- Modifying special provisions related to classification; and
- Repealing an existing special provision related to dangerous goods classified based on human experiencefootnote 20 in light of the changes to the classification scheme aligning with the UN Recommendations.
Safety marks
The requirements for dangerous goods safety marks would be updated to include the following changes:
- Allow for the use of placards as illustrated in the UN Recommendations as well as those prescribed under the U.S. 49 CFR, including the display of text as long as it does not obscure the symbol;
- Allow reduced-size labels and banana labels on the shoulder of a cylinder, and labels reduced in accordance with ISO 7225 standard on small cylinders;
- Allow for the reduction of the dimensions of placards and labels up to a minimum size of respectively 100 mm x 100 mm and 30 mm x 30 mm;
- Specify that all labels displayed on a means of containment be positioned to be seen from a single vantage point; and
- Clarify the minimum size for UN numbers on small means of containment and intermediate bulk containers.
Other changes
The proposed Regulations would include a number of other changes:
- Align the terminology of the TDGR with that of the UN Recommendations. For example, “class” would be replaced by “division” throughout the TDGR, as applicable;
- Align the definition of the term “gas” with the UN Recommendations;
- Allow, under certain conditions, the use of flexible intermediate bulk containers for the transport of soils contaminated with flammable liquids;
- Allow the use of an exemption for the transport of non-spillable wet batteries intended for disposal; and
- Specify when qualifying words need to be shown in addition to the shipping name, i.e. MIXTURE, STABILIZED, MOLTEN and TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED.
Changes to technical standards for the means of containment
CAN/CGSB-43.150
The proposed Regulations would incorporate by reference the National Standard of Canada CAN/CGSB-43.150, “Design, manufacture and use of UN Standardized drums, jerricans, boxes, bags, combination packaging, composite packaging and other packagings for the transport of dangerous goods, classes 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 8, and 9,” as amended from time to time. The standard would replace the TC Standard, TP 14850, 2nd edition, “Small Containers for Transport of Dangerous Goods, Classes 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 8, and 9, a Transport Canada Standard.”
The CAN/CGSB-43.150 builds on the previous TP 14850 and includes the following updates:
- Addition of a new requirement to periodically retest container designs at an interval of no more than five years;
- Option to use certain plastic drums and jerricans past 60 months from the date of manufacture to 120 months, under specified conditions;
- Introduction of a one-time exemption for drum reconditioning when dangerous goods are transported for disposal, recycling or any other reclamation process;
- Adoption of a new special case for liquid dangerous goods of specified classes transported in a mobile process unit (vehicle that is used at a factory, satellite site or client site to carry out an explosives manufacturing operation in accordance with the Explosives Regulations, 2013); and
- Clarification of requirements for transporting dangerous goods intended for disposal, recycling or any other reclamation process.
CAN/CGSB-43.145
A second technical standard would also be incorporated by reference in the TDGR, the National Standard of Canada CAN/CGSB-43.145, “Design, manufacture and use of large packagings for the transportation of dangerous goods, classes 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 8, and 9,” as amended from time to time. The new standard introduces requirements for the design, manufacture, selection and use of UN standardized large packagings in alignment with the UN Recommendations.
CAN/CGSB-43.125
The title of the National Standard of Canada CAN/CGSB-43.125, “Packaging of Category A and Category B infectious substances (Class 6.2) and clinical, (bio) medical or regulated medical waste” would be amended to replace “Class 6.2” with “Class 6, Division 6.2” to be more accurate and further harmonize with the terminology used in the international codes. The new title would be “Packaging of Category A and Category B infectious substances (Class 6, Division 6.2) and clinical, (bio) medical or regulated medical waste.”
Alignment with the U.S. 49 CFR
The following amendments would be adopted to further align with the U.S. 49 CFR:
- Allow a shipment of dangerous goods transported by road or railway vehicle to be returned to the United States or a shipment originating in Canada to be transported to the United States in accordance with the classification, marking, labelling, placarding and documentation requirements of the U.S. 49 CFR;
- Allow the use of special permits issued in the United States under the U.S. 49 CFR for the transportation of dangerous goods from Canada to the United States by road or railway vehicle, provided the special permit number is shown on the shipping document;
- Accept the U.S. toxic by inhalation label and placard for dangerous goods that pose toxic inhalation hazards as an alternative to the Canadian requirement to display the words “inhalation hazard” in addition to the Class 2.3 or Class 6.1 labels or placards;
- Allow the display of both Class 2.2 and Class 5.1 labels or placards on a means of containment containing UN1072, OXYGEN, COMPRESSED; UN1073, OXYGEN, REFRIGERATED LIQUID; UN3156, COMPRESSED GAS, OXIDIZING, N.O.S; or UN3157, LIQUEFIED GAS, OXIDIZING, N.O.S. as an alternative to the oxidizing gas label or placard which is unique to Canada. The addition of this provision would also align with the UN Recommendations;
- Allow the use of text that communicates the dangerous goods hazards, such as CORROSIVE or FLAMMABLE, to be displayed on labels and placards. This means that international shipments that display labels or placards with text would not be required to have the safety marks replaced to comply with the TDGR. Regarding the language displayed, TC would not impose restrictions; that is, any language would be acceptable;
Labels and placards could display words as authorized under the international codes and the U.S. 49 CFR as follows:
Division 2.2, Non-flammable and Non-toxic Gases
OR
- Allow the display of labels on an empty means of containment provided that any marking indicating the presence of dangerous goods is covered or the means of containment is transported inside a closed vehicle;
- Introduce an exemption for pressurized tanks used in water pump systems to align with the U.S. 49 CFR. The exemption would allow water pump system tanks to be filled to 280 kPa with compressed air, nitrogen or helium and transported to installation sites without having to meet the documentation, training, marking, reporting and specification packaging requirements;
- Add a requirement to display the words “NON-ODOURIZED”, “NOT ODOURIZED” or “SANS ODORISANT” on cylinders, portable tanks, highway tanks or tank cars containing non-odourized LPG; and
- Allow on a means of containment or shipping document the display of words that are spelled as they appear in the U.S. 49 CFR and differ from the TDGR. The allowance would include the use or absence of punctuation marks within the text, and the use of either upper case or lower case letters.
Use of packaging approved for air transport
The proposed Regulations would allow dangerous goods to be transported by road or railway vehicle in packaging that complies with the ICAO TI. As a result, dangerous goods in non-venting packagings could be transported by road or railway vehicle before or after a flight even though vented packagings would otherwise be required under the TDGR.
Changes to air provisions
The proposed Regulations would replace the air provisions to more closely align with the ICAO TI, clarify requirements, and update outdated exemptions.
General requirements
The ICAO TI would be incorporated by reference and provide the primary source of requirements for the transport of dangerous goods by air. Part 12 would be restructured to clearly identify when TDGR provisions would apply either instead of, or in addition to, specific ICAO TI provisions. For example, the TDGR would continue to apply for training and containers for gases and radioactive materials; however, rather than applying in addition to the ICAO TI, the TDGR would apply instead of the equivalent ICAO TI provisions. The proposed Regulations would also require that explosives be classified in accordance with the TDGRfootnote 21 instead of the ICAO TI.
Reporting
The reporting requirements for air transport would be moved from Part 8 (Reporting) of the TDGR to Part 12. Reports of undeclared or misdeclared dangerous goods would be required to be submitted electronically rather than by phone. In addition, undeclared or misdeclared dangerous goods discovered in passenger or crew baggage would be reported monthly instead of as soon as possible. These reports would only be required for months in which the carrier has discovered undeclared or misdeclared dangerous goods discovered in passenger or crew baggage; nil reports would not be required. Reports of dangerous goods discovered in cargo would still need to be submitted as soon as possible.
Exemptions
The proposed Regulations would allow dangerous goods to be transported under ICAO TI exemptions, such as those for in-flight medical and veterinary aid, search and rescue operations, and for dropping in connection with avalanche control, agriculture, and forestry. The proposed Regulations would also allow consignors and air carriers to use exemptions found in the TDGR for fire extinguishers, radioactive materials, samples for investigation, national defence, and cylinders transported from or for a vessel or aircraft for the purpose of refilling or requalification.
Part 12 of the TDGR includes a number of air-specific exemptions to facilitate the transport of dangerous goods by air within Canada. The following changes would be made:
- The exemption for 1.4S explosives would be simplified and UN0044, PRIMERS, CAP TYPE and UN0373, SIGNAL DEVICES, HAND would be added to the list;
- The forbidden explosives exemption would apply only for transport to limited access locations and flights without passengers. In addition, instead of listing specific explosives, the exemption would apply to explosives for which packing instructions are provided in the Supplement to the ICAO TI;
- The aerial work exemption would apply to the aerial work activities regulated under the Canadian Aviation Regulations instead of a list of specific activities;
- Air-specific exemptions would be added for medical and clinical waste;
- An exemption from the requirement for handling labels on radioactive materials in excepted packages would be added;
- An exemption would be added for emergency response by air that would not be limited to dedicated emergency response aircraft;
- An exemption would be added for dangerous goods required to be carried by enforcement officers (e.g. peace and wildlife officers) in the course of their duties;
- An exemption would be added for dangerous goods that are required for the operation and safety of an aircraft, such as fuel pumps and spares kits;
- The ICAO TI medical aid exemption would be extended to include the return of dangerous goods to the place of origin on an aircraft other than the one on which they were used;
- The current exemptions for consumer commodities, geological core samples, and measuring instruments would be removed.
Documentation
The proposed Regulations would decrease the period that a consignor or carrier must retain a copy of a transport document for dangerous goods transported by aircraft from two years to one.
Limited access
The limited access provisions would no longer be restricted to specific categories of aircraft; they would apply for any aircraft that is flying directly to or from a limited access location. Limited access location would be defined as “a location to which there is no year-round access by a mode of transport other than air”.
In relation to the limited access provisions, the responsibility to classify dangerous goods and ensure correct packaging would be transferred to the air operator as the operator would need to know the limited access rules (e.g. what quantities can be shipped and which means of containment can be used). This amendment would codify existing practices (air operators already routinely do this as a matter of course) and, therefore, the amendment is not expected to increase burden or costs for operators.
Limited access — gases
New provisions would allow non-flammable, non-toxic gases and flammable gases to be transported under the limited access provisions if they are not forbidden for transport under the ICAO TI.
The following flammable gases would be added to the list of gases that could be transported under the limited access provisions:
- UN1001, ACETYLENE, DISSOLVED
- UN1049, HYDROGEN, COMPRESSED
- UN1060, METHYLACETYLENE AND PROPADIENE MIXTURE, STABILIZED
- UN1954, COMPRESSED GAS, FLAMMABLE, N.O.S.
- UN1971, METHANE, COMPRESSED; or NATURAL GAS COMPRESSED with high methane content.
The maximum capacity per cylinder for the gases listed would increase from 100 L to 110 L and the total capacity of all cylinders of these gases allowed on a passenger plane would increase from 120 L to 132 L.
Limited access — flammable liquids
UN1230, METHANOL, UN1170, ETHANOL and UN1987, ALCOHOL, N.O.S. would be added to the list of flammable liquids that can be transported under the limited access provisions. Requirements would be modified to allow use of non-specificationfootnote 22 means of containment for quantities up to 25 L and to allow use of jerricans for quantities up to 60 L on passenger aircraft. For larger quantities, requirements for drums would be updated to reflect the types of drums currently in use. Packing Group III drums would no longer be allowed on passenger aircraft.
Limited access — bear bangers and bear spray
New provisions would be added to allow bear bangers and bear spray to be transported under the limited access provisions. An outer means of containment marked with the words “Bear Spray”, or “Bear Bangers” would be required, and they would need to be transported in a cargo compartment separate from the passenger cabin if the aircraft has one. Labelling requirements would not apply.
Limited access — paint
A new provision would allow paint and paint-related material (such as paint thinner) to be transported under the limited access provisions. In addition, these dangerous goods could be transported under this provision as limited quantities in inner packagings of up to 5 L.
Limited access — wet batteries
This provision would be simplified and modified to allow wet batteries that are UN2794 and UN2795 to be transported in a rigid container, wooden slatted crate or on a pallet.
Limited access — engines, machinery and vehicles
This provision would be simplified and revised to allow the transport of flammable gas-powered engines, machinery and vehicles on passenger aircraft under the limited access provisions. The packing instructions and quantity limits in the ICAO TI for transporting these dangerous goods by cargo aircraft would apply.
Regulatory development
Consultation
International harmonization and RCC
The proposed amendments respecting international harmonization were presented to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods General Policy Advisory Council and the Multi-Association Committee on TDG stakeholders in 2019 and most recently in summer 2020.
In early 2019, a 60-day web-based consultation was undertaken on the proposed amendments. Submissions were received from provincial governments, training centres, rail operators, industry, and associations representing air transport, railways, vessel operators, and chemical and fuel industries.
Overall, there was a general support for harmonizing the TDGR with the most recent version of the UN Recommendations and aligning the TDGR more closely with the U.S. regulations. One stakeholder, however, expressed concerns about the proposed changes to labels and placards for substances that are toxic by inhalation. In the consultation document, TC had failed to clarify that the proposed changes would not affect the long-established placard for anhydrous ammonia, a toxic-by-inhalation gas widely used as fertilizer in Canadian farm fields. Once this was clarified, the stakeholder had no further concerns.
Stakeholders emphasized that the proposed amendments would ensure consistency with international codes, resulting in cost savings to industry, while maintaining or enhancing safety. Regarding the classification of dangerous goods, there was overwhelming support for the adoption of dynamic references to the classification requirements of the UN Recommendations.
Stakeholders also pointed out that some of the proposed changes, such as those for the packaging requirements for oxygen generators, were not clear; instead of providing or improving clarification, they were confusing. In response, TC intends to develop comprehensive guidance material to accompany the publication of the final version of the proposed Regulations in the Canada Gazette that would cover this and other amendments.
A second web-based consultation on the proposed amendments was held during the summer of 2020, a few months into the COVID-19 pandemic. The consultations also included virtual meetings with key stakeholders and associations. Seven submissions were received from associations representing consignors, carriers by road, air and sea, manufacturers of containers and dangerous goods such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals and electronics, as well as chemical and fuel industries. Stakeholders strongly supported the proposed provisions that would increase alignment with international requirements and update the Canadian packaging standards and urged TC to expedite the publication of the final version of the proposed Regulations.
Air provisions
In spring 2016, TC consulted other government departments and key industry stakeholders over a seven-week comment period via email and an on-line questionnaire. Stakeholders were generally supportive of the proposed amendments that deal with Part 12.
In spring-summer 2017, a 60-day web-based consultation was held for industry stakeholders and the public. Comments were received from provincial government wildlife, forestry and natural resources officials, air carriers, a paramedic association, air transport associations, and industry associations. There was overall support for the proposal to update Part 12 of the TDGR, and specifically, the proposals to limit the air transport of explosives and remove exemptions that are no longer needed, such as the geological core samples and consumer commodities exemptions. There was also support for expanding the lists of flammable liquids and gases that could be transported under the limited access provisions and for adding exemptions for helicopter spare part kits and fuel pumps. Stakeholders were grateful to have a definition for “limited access”; however, they expressed concerns with the proposed options that were based on latitude (north of 60o), seasonality, or lack of road or ship access for defined periods of time throughout the year (for example three months). In response, TC revised and simplified the proposed definition.
A web-based consultation and virtual meetings with key stakeholders were held during the summer of 2020 to present the draft provisions of the proposed Regulations. Four written submissions were received from associations representing pilots, air carriers, and the fuel industry. Stakeholders supported the proposals for updates to the air exemptions, electronic monthly reporting of undeclared and misdeclared dangerous goods, reduced retention time for transport documents, and allowing packages that are compliant with air requirements to be transported by road and railway vehicles. The revised “limited access” definition was welcomed, as were the proposals to update the limited access provisions, particularly those for flammable liquids and bear spray. Air carriers did not support removing the requirement to have a border of “red hatchings”footnote 23 on the transport document, as they use these marks to clearly identify the presence of dangerous goods. In response, TC dropped the proposed amendment and will maintain the “red hatchings” requirement.
Modern treaty obligations and Indigenous engagement and consultation
In accordance with the Cabinet Directive on the Federal Approach to Modern Treaty Implementation, analysis was undertaken to determine whether the proposed Regulations are likely to give rise to modern treaty obligations. This assessment examined the geographic scope and subject matter of the proposal in relation to modern treaties in effect. Upon examination, no implications or impacts on modern treaties were identified.
Instrument choice
The TDGR are largely harmonized with the requirements prescribed in the UN Recommendations. Canada, as a member of the UN agencies, actively participates in the development of these recommendations by attending the UN Economic and Social Council Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods meetings to discuss proposals to amend the UN Recommendations, bringing forward and submitting proposals to amend the UN Recommendations and providing expert advice and recommendations on international proposals. As a member, Canada is expected to adopt into Canadian law the internationally agreed-to requirements that are in the UN Recommendations, the ICAO TI and the IMDG Code. To become law in Canada, these requirements must be put into regulations. Without regulatory amendments to incorporate the latest international requirements into the TDGR, Canadian requirements for safety marks, classification information, shipping names, and packaging, would not align with requirements in other jurisdictions, e.g. the European Union and the United States. This inconsistency would continue to create unnecessary burden for Canadian operators (as they would have to deal with different sets of requirements) and could cause potential safety risks for trade chain partners and first responders. No non-regulatory options were considered for these changes.
The proposed Regulations update Canadian standards, which are incorporated by reference, to better align them with the UN Recommendations for the design, manufacture and use of means of containment. These changes must be set out in regulations because the standards only become legally binding when incorporated by reference in regulations. Without these amendments, Canadian consignors would lose out on cost savings related to the manufacture and use of means of containment and the use of reduced size labels for cylinders, negatively impacting their ability to be competitive in the international market. No non-regulatory options were considered for this change.
The proposed Regulations would also allow the use of dangerous goods safety marks prescribed under the U.S. 49 CFR and special permits issued in the United States for the transportation of dangerous goods across North America by road and railway vehicles. These changes need to be set out in regulations to fulfill commitments made between Canada and the United States to formally recognize their respective regulatory regimes through revisions to their respective regulations. Without these amendments, Canada would not be able to fulfill its commitment to reciprocity with the United States through amendments to the TDGR. No non-regulatory options were considered.
Finally, the proposed Regulations would amend Part 12 of the TDGR to clarify air transportation requirements and update provisions for transport to remote locations and exemptions for medical, scientific, industrial, aerial and enforcement activities to reflect current domestic needs. These changes need to be set out in regulations because they are changes and improvements to existing regulatory provisions that can only be modified through a regulatory amendment. Without these amendments, the air provisions in the TDGR would continue to create burden for stakeholders, particularly those in remote locations, many of which are Indigenous communities. No non-regulatory options were considered.
Regulatory analysis
The proposed Regulations would be better aligned with international requirements through the incorporation of recent changes to international standards and codes, thereby minimizing the need for industry to comply with different Canadian and international requirements.
The proposed Regulations would also eliminate the need for many ECs by introducing provisions to authorize activities that do not comply with the existing TDGR. They would also provide flexibility for operators by extending the period to declare dangerous goods discovered in air carriers’ passenger baggage. Public safety would not be compromised by this change, because these reports are used to identify trends so air operators can target public awareness; accidents and incidents involving dangerous goods would still need to be reported as soon as possible.
The proposed Regulations are expected to result in a total monetized benefit of $2.66 million, of which $0.08 million would occur to industry, and $2.58 million to the Government of Canada. The proposed Regulations would also impose costs on some manufacturers of means of containment to retest registered container designs every five years. It is estimated that the total costs to the industry would be approximately $3.13 million. The cost to the Government is estimated to be approximately $0.02 million to review undeclared dangerous goods reports. As a result, the proposed Regulations would result in a net cost of $0.49 million (present value in 2021 Canadian dollars, discounted to the year 2023 with a 7% discount rate) between 2023 and 2032. Despite the net monetized cost, the overall benefits would outweigh the monetized costs.
Analytical framework
The costs and benefits for the proposed Regulations have been assessed in accordance with the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) Policy on Cost-Benefit Analysis. Impacts are quantified and monetized, with only the direct costs and benefits for stakeholders being considered in the cost-benefit analysis.
Benefits and costs associated with the proposed Regulations are assessed based on comparing the baseline scenario against the regulatory scenario. The baseline scenario depicts what is likely to happen in the future if the Government of Canada does not implement the proposed Regulations. The regulatory scenario provides information on the intended outcomes as a result of the proposed Regulations.
The analysis estimated the impact of the proposed Regulations over a 10-year period from 2023 to 2032, with the year 2023 being when the proposed Regulations are registered. Unless otherwise stated, all values are expressed in present value in 2021 Canadian dollars, discounted to the year of 2023 at a 7% discount rate.
Impacted stakeholders
It is estimated that the proposed Regulations would affect a total of 39 000 businesses involved in the dangerous goods industry in Canada, such as dangerous goods carriers, dangerous goods consignors or manufacturers of dangerous goods means of containment.
International harmonization
It is expected that the requirements of periodically retesting the dangerous goods container designs would affect a total of 137 container manufacturers. The number of impacted manufacturers is expected to stay stable over the analytical time frame. Based on previous EC requests, it is estimated that approximately 270 dangerous goods consignors would no longer need to apply for or renew their EC and, as a result, would save costs.
Air provisions
Approximately 1 500 air carriers would be required to report undeclared or misdeclared dangerous goods found in passenger baggage monthly instead of as soon as possible. Additionally, the proposed Regulations would eliminate the need for consignors and air carriers to renew approximately 394 ECs with respect to the transportation of dangerous goods by air, most of which are to limited access locations.
Baseline and regulatory scenarios
Baseline scenario
Under the baseline scenario, the transportation of dangerous goods would still be governed by the TDGR, which do not align with the most recent international codes nor allow reciprocity with certain U.S. requirements (U.S. 49 CFR). Furthermore, the TDGR would not incorporate several recent updates adopted in the international codes including the IMDG Code and the UN Recommendations. As a result, stakeholders would not only face confusion due to the lack of harmonization between domestic and international requirements, but also continue incurring compliance costs particularly associated with non-essential discrepancies between these requirements. Consignors and carriers would still need to request ECs and renew them every five years for some activities that are not authorized under the current TDGR. Also, container designs registered with TC would not have to be retested to prove that they still meet UN standards, which could result in containers no longer being safe for the transportation of dangerous goods. For example, UN packagings could be manufactured with materials or components that have changed over time, with or without the manufacturers’ knowledge, thereby invalidating the UN performance tests that were conducted on the original design.
Regulatory scenario
Under the regulatory scenario, the proposed Regulations would introduce the recent changes to international regulations (UN Recommendations and IMDG Code) as well as increase the reciprocity of regulatory requirements with the United States to facilitate the transport of dangerous goods between both countries. Updating various Canadian standards would eliminate the need for a number of ECs issued by TC, so dangerous goods consignors and carriers would no longer need to request ECs and renew them every five years. The proposed Regulations would introduce the requirement for container manufacturers to retest representative samples of their registered container designs every five years to ensure the registered design is still meeting the UN performance testing and to ensure any new information related to the containers is updated. The compliance year for container design retesting would be 2024.
Costs and benefits
Costs
The proposed Regulations would impose costs on some manufacturers of means of containment to retest registered container designs every five years. It is estimated that the total costs to the industry would be approximately $3.13 million.
The cost to the Government is estimated to be approximately $0.02 million.
Costs associated with international harmonization
Costs to manufacturers
As stated above, the proposed Regulations would require container manufacturers to retest representative samples of the registered container design every five years to ensure that it meets the UN performance testing and that any new information relating to the containers is updated. This requirement would affect 137 container manufacturing companies across Canada. The cost for testing containers ranges between $1,000 and $4,000 depending on the type of container. Table 1 below shows the number of containers to be retested every five years and the average cost for lab testing by type of container.
Type of container | Total number of containers | Average cost for lab testing |
---|---|---|
5H3, 5H4, 5M1, 5M2 | 80 | $1,000 |
1G, 4A, 4B, 4C1, 4D | 100 | $1,700 |
4G | 482 | $3,000 |
4GV, 4H1, 4H2, 6HG2 | 65 | $4,000 |
The compliance year would be 2024 and the total cost associated with manufacturers retesting their container designs was estimated to be $3.13 million.
Cost to the Government
There would be no incremental cost to TC to review undeclared dangerous goods reports. Air carriers are currently required to report undeclared or misdeclared dangerous goods by telephone to CANUTEC as soon as possible. The proposed Regulations would require the reports to be submitted electronically instead. It would take about three hours for a TC officer to review and process the reported information every month.
TC’s TDG Public Awareness Program regularly informs stakeholders of updates to the TDGR through education and awareness campaigns by developing information documents, reaching to targeted audiences, answering questions from the industry, and by doing presentations. It is expected that the proposed Regulations would not add additional effort to the Program. Any costs associated with outreach and awareness with respect to the proposed Regulations would be absorbed under the normal operating costs to administer the TDGR.
The total cost to the Government in reviewing undeclared dangerous goods reports is estimated to be around $0.02 million.
Unquantifiable cost
The proposed Regulations would require the display of the words “NON-ODOURIZED, NOT ODOURIZED”, or “SANS ODORISANT” on cylinders, portable tanks, highway tanks or tank cars containing non-odourized liquified petroleum gases. The proposed Regulations would further align the TDGR with the U.S. 49 CFR. The cost to mark a means of containment with the words “NON-ODOURIZED” is estimated to be $2. But according to TC subject matter experts, non-odourized LPG is transported by rail and much of it is transported between Canada and the United States and would therefore already have the markings in order to comply with the U.S. regulations. Due to limited data related to the number of means of containment left to be marked, it is not possible to calculate the exact total cost to consignors. However, the total cost is expected to be negligible.
Benefits
While most benefits associated with the proposed Regulations are not quantified or monetized due to a lack of data, it is expected the proposed Regulations would better align with international standards, incorporating best practices and uniform regulations. The proposed Regulations would also clarify some requirements and introduce flexibility for reporting requirements to facilitate stakeholder compliance. As a result, the proposed Regulations are expected to level the playing field by reducing regulatory obstacles for Canadian businesses transporting dangerous goods and increase safety and security for employees handling dangerous goods and the Canadian public.
Still, the harmonization with international requirements, the update of air provisions, and the alignment with U.S. requirements would generate a series of quantifiable cost savings to industry and the Government of Canada. By combining the qualitative and the quantified benefits, it is expected that the overall benefits would outweigh the costs of the proposed amendments to the TDGR.
Monetized benefits
Cost savings associated with international harmonization
The proposed Regulations would introduce new special provisions as well as new types of means of containment, which would prevent consignors from having to apply for ECs. A total of 270 ECs would be eliminated for some activities that do not comply with the current TDGR. Table 2 below summarizes the number of ECs and the activities for which dangerous goods consignors would no longer need to make a request. According to TC subject matter experts, it is expected that all applicants would continue to renew their ECs once they expire.footnote 24 For the cost saving calculation, the number of EC issuance and renewals by year was estimated by distributing equally the existing ECs over five years and renewed when they expire after five years.
Type of activities | Number of existing ECs to be eliminated |
---|---|
Use of pallets. CGSB-43.150 | 174 |
Extend period of use of plastic jerricans or drums. CGSB-43.150 | 3 |
Means of containment for waste. CGSB-43.150 | 30 |
Shoulder labels on cylinders | 4 |
Water-pump systems | 3 |
Transport of contaminated soil | 6 |
Reciprocity of U.S. 49 CFR and special permits | 50 |
Total ECs | 270 |
It takes about two hours to fill out a request for an EC and the average hourly salary plus overhead of a dangerous goods consignor employee for filling in an EC is $37.25. ECs are renewed every five years and renewal conditions are the same as for the first request. The total cost savings to dangerous goods consignors is estimated to be $0.03 million over the 10 years of analysis.
Cost savings associated with the air provisions
The proposed Regulations would extend the period to report dangerous goods discovered in passenger baggage from as soon as possible to monthly report. Based on the historical number of reports, there is a growth trend of about 3.6% of undeclared dangerous goods from year to year. In 2020, 177 reports were made to CANUTEC. Air carriers would now collect information and submit one electronic monthly report for all dangerous goods discovered in passenger baggage. TC has developed a reporting tool for air carriers to collect the required information and submit electronic reports. Larger air carriers that already have databases would likely opt to extract the information directly from their databases and email it to TC once a month, which would take a few minutes. According to subject matter experts, there are about 10 air carriers who most often call CANUTEC to report undeclared dangerous goods. The historical data suggests there are 16 calls on average per month from those 10 air carriers to CANUTEC. A call to report undeclared dangerous goods takes approximately 8 minutes to complete. Thus, air carriers spent on average 128 minutes per month to call CANUTEC. With the proposed Regulations, it would take 5 minutes for air carriers to extract the undeclared dangerous goods information from their database and email it to TC once a month. This would result in a time saving of 123 minutes on average to 10 air carriers, which would result in a total cost savings estimated at $5,900 over the 10-year analytical period.
The proposed Regulations would also allow various activities currently forbidden in the ICAO TI and done with an EC under the TDGR. It is expected that a total of 394 ECs would be eliminated with the introduction of the new provisions. Table 3 shows the breakdown of the number of existing ECs that air carriers and dangerous goods consignors would no longer need to request.
Amendment to the TDGR Part 12 | Number of existing ECs to be eliminated |
---|---|
Allow the transportation of explosives forbidden in ICAO TI on aircraft from or to limited access locations | 7 |
Allow larger aircraft to transport dangerous goods to remote areas (applicability of limited access) | 21 |
Allow certain Class 3 flammable liquids under limited access provisions (UN1170, UN1230, UN1987) | 7 |
Allow certain Division 2.1 flammable gases to be transported in cylinders under limited access provisions (UN1001, UN1049, UN1060, UN1954, UN1971) | 21 |
Allow Division 2.2 non-flammable and non-toxic gases to be transported in cylinders under limited access provisions | 26 |
Allow aerosols and bear spray transportation under limited access provisions (UN1950) | 89 |
Allow non-specification packaging for wet batteries transported under the limited access provisions (UN2794, UN2795) | 42 |
Allow transportation of bear bangers on passenger aircraft under limited access provisions (UN0312) | 90 |
Provide exemptions for the transportation of dangerous goods for aerial work activities | 64 |
Provide exemptions for the transportation of dangerous goods needed for emergency services | 9 |
Provide exemptions for the transportation of dangerous goods in quantities needed by enforcement officers | 18 |
Total ECs | 394 |
All ECs are renewed every five years and the total cost savings to air carriers and dangerous goods consignors is estimated to be $0.04 million.
Cost savings to the Government
The proposed Regulations would result in an estimated total cost savings of $2.58 million to TC.
Currently, TC corresponds with manufacturers of means of containment for dangerous goods to determine whether their containers meet the UN standards required for renewal. The time required for reviewing and approving depends on the number of container designs registered by the manufacturer with TC. To date, 53% of stakeholders registered three or fewer designs; 30% registered four to six designs; and 17% registered seven and more designs. Three designs or fewer take half a day to review and approve by TC; four to six designs take one day and seven and more designs take more than a day. The proposed Regulations would require manufacturers to retest their container designs and send a digital report to TC for review. It would take two hours per design for TC to review and approve the container retest report. The new system would eliminate the time spent by TC getting information about the design from stakeholders and determining whether their container meets the requirements for renewal. It is expected that there will be a cost saving of about $0.40 million to TC due to the reduction in time TC engineers would need to spend to review and approve the container retest report.
The proposed Regulations would also result in a cost saving of $2.17 million to TC as it would no longer need to process and issue ECs. A total of 270 ECs for the international harmonization and 394 ECs for air provisions would be eliminated. Currently, dangerous goods consignors and carriers apply to request an EC, which is renewable every five years. ECs allow activities currently forbidden under the TDGR. The cost savings are related to the time TC would save for no longer reviewing and approving ECs.
Finally, with the proposed Regulations, CANUTEC would no longer receive reports of undeclared dangerous goods. Air carriers would no longer need to call CANUTEC to report each time undeclared dangerous goods are found in passenger baggage. CANUTEC would save a few minutes each time undeclared dangerous goods are found in passenger baggage and the time it takes to review the reports. The total cost saving is estimated at $0.01 million.

Qualitative benefits
Canada’s international commitments
The proposed Regulations would help Canada fulfill its international commitments. As a member of the UN, the ICAO and the IMO, Canada is expected to incorporate the principles laid down in the recommendations and codes developed by these entities into the TDGR to increase worldwide harmonization in the transport of dangerous goods. Alignment would benefit Canadian businesses handling dangerous goods for domestic and international trade as they would remove non-essential discrepancies between domestic and international requirements; therefore, it would make the process of importing and exporting these goods more efficient for consignors and carriers.
Safety benefits
The addition of new UN numbers and shipping names in the proposed Regulations would ensure a classification system that is harmonized with the one used by the international community. Furthermore, shipping dangerous goods under internationally recognized shipping names would ensure timely communication and awareness of the hazards posed by the goods.
In addition, the changes to the requirements for display of labels and text size would ensure that the safety marks are visible, which would help ensure that the dangerous goods are handled according to their classification and could potentially reduce incidents with impacts on the environment and public safety. In the case of an incident, the new requirements on safety marks would enable emergency responders to recognize hazards more quickly and help them make better informed decisions.
The proposed amendments to Part 12 of the TDGR would positively impact public safety and emergency response times as the result of new exemptions for emergency response, medical aid, enforcement officers, fire suppression and operation of an aircraft. These new exemptions would facilitate the transport of dangerous goods required for emergency response, allowing for a faster response by first responders and thus limiting adverse consequences in an emergency.
The proposed changes to Part 12 would further protect air passengers by narrowing the scope of the forbidden explosive exemption to reduce the risk of an incident or accident resulting from the transport of these explosives on passenger aircraft.
Operation and supply chain efficiency benefits
Along with the benefit associated with the incorporation of the principles laid down in the UN Recommendations, allowing dangerous goods to be transported in non-vented containers to and from an airport by road or railway vehicle would address compliance gaps in the TDGR and ensure continuity in the operation of the supply chain of dangerous goods within the transport system.
The new format of Part 12 would eliminate uncertainty regarding which requirements and exemptions apply and provide clarity on the application of the limited access provisions. This would reduce confusion and save consignors and air operators time while reducing the potential for non-compliance.
Changes to the limited access provisions would improve the quality of life of people living and working in remote areas, many of whom are Indigenous communities, by facilitating better access to essential goods and safety equipment, such as sanitizer, bear deterrents, fuels, batteries, engines, and machinery.
More flexible reporting requirements, data consistency, and alignment
The proposed Regulations would reduce reporting requirements to airport operators. For example, requiring reports of undeclared and misdeclared dangerous goods to be submitted monthly in an electronic format instead of by phone would provide flexibility and consistency of data and allow for better analysis by authorities. In addition, the proposed Regulations would reduce the retention time for shipping documents from two years to one year in order to align the TDGR with the U.S. 49 CFR. Air carriers would benefit from more clarity in the TDGR and more efficiency in their activities.
Small business lens
Analysis under the small business lens concluded that the proposed Regulations would impact small businesses.
Regarding direct costs related to the proposed Regulations, 65 manufacturers out of 137 that need to retest their container designs would be considered small businesses and would bear 47% of the container testing costs ($1.47 million).
Industry informed the development of the revisions to the CAN/CGSB-43.150 Standard to ensure that safety risks are minimized, while maintaining a flexible approach to retesting containers. Representatives of small businesses traditionally involved in the retest activities supported the addition of the periodic retesting as it would continue to allow for flexibility that could lessen the impacts on businesses. For example, when retesting designs similar in nature, TC can assess, on a case-by-case basis, whether certain retesting requirements are needed.
The proposed Regulations would incorporate by reference the CGSB-43.150 which provides for a two-year interim period in respect of retesting of container designs, which would allow small businesses to either conduct retesting in-house or buy the approved packaging from a supplier at an affordable cost.
In the air mode, consignors and air operators that are small businesses would see a shorter retention time for shipping documents; however, in practice there would be no reduction in compliance costs as all infrastructure investments for data storage will have already been sunk. There is no anticipated incremental change to the associated administrative costs. Most carriers and dangerous goods consignors involved in specific activities related to the transportation of dangerous goods to or from remote areas are small businesses. These carriers would benefit from the anticipated cost savings associated with changes to the limited access provisions which would remove the need for many ECs. They would also benefit from relaxing reporting requirements for dangerous goods discovered in passenger baggage.
One-for-one rule
The one-for-one rule applies since there would be an incremental decrease in administrative burden on business. The regulatory proposal is, therefore, considered burden “out” under the rule. No regulatory titles are repealed or introduced.
Air carriers would have to report dangerous goods discovered in passenger baggage monthly instead of as soon as possible. This would allow air carriers to collect information and submit only one monthly electronic report for all dangerous goods discovered. Additionally, some consignors and carriers would no longer need to request ECs. Using assumptions and data previously presented, and the methodology developed in the Red Tape Reduction Regulations, it is estimated that around 10 air carriers and 664 dangerous goods consignorsfootnote 25 would see a decrease in administrative burden cost in an annualized amount of $9,288 or $13.78 annualized administrative cost per business (2012 Canadian dollars, 7% discount rate, base year of discounting in 2012) for a 10-year period between 2023 and 2032.
The proposed Regulations would reduce the retention time for shipping documents from two years to one year. This will not result in reduced administrative costs to business since the associated administrative tasks (filing, retrieval, and eventual destruction of records) would not be impacted; the cost of infrastructure for document storage is not considered administrative burden as defined in the Red Tape Reduction Act.
Regulatory cooperation and alignment
The Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) is a joint initiative that brings together Canadian and U.S. regulators to reduce unnecessary differences between their regulatory frameworks. It provides a forum for stakeholders to discuss regulatory barriers and identify opportunities for regulatory cooperation. Under the RCC, Canada and the United States outline planned initiatives and identify opportunities to increase regulatory reciprocity on numerous issues, which has included the cross-border transportation of dangerous goods.
While the proposed Regulations are not directly related to a specific RCC initiative, they would complement efforts made under the Canada-US Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) Work Plan since 2012 to align requirements around the transportation of dangerous goods between Canada and the United States.
The proposed Regulations would align more closely with the U.S. labelling and placarding requirements. For example, under the proposed Regulations, placards prescribed in the United States would be accepted in Canada, which would eliminate the need to change the placards during cross-border transport. Such reciprocity would benefit consignors and carriers involved in import or export as well as reshipping activities between Canada and the United States.
In addition, the proposed Regulations would further align with the U.S. 49 CFR to allow for the seamless transportation of water pump systems tank and non-odourized LPG between the countries as well as dangerous goods transported by road and railway vehicles under U.S. documentation and special permits. Finally, minor changes are proposed to allow for the spelling and punctuation prescribed under the U.S. 49 CFR to be used in safety marks and documents in Canada. All of these changes will allow for the TDGR to be more agile and further reduce regulatory burden.
Strategic environmental assessment
In accordance with the Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan and Program Proposals, a preliminary scan concluded that a strategic environmental assessment is not required.
Gender-based analysis plus
The proposed Regulations are targeted to stakeholders who import, handle, offer for transport or transport dangerous goods in Canada. They are not expected to result in differential impacts based on identity factors, such as gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, religion, age, etc. However, as the transportation trade is a male-dominated sector, men would most likely benefit the most by increased job availabilities and opportunities for employment.
The amendments to the TDGR air provisions address current domestic needs specific to remote locations. For example, commonly used dangerous goods, such as heating oil, propane, and paint, would be more accessible to communities in remote parts of Canada. Currently, these dangerous goods and many others are forbidden for transport and, therefore, it is necessary to obtain an EC that would allow their transport. The proposed Regulations would eliminate unnecessary restrictions so that entire communities living in remote locations could access these dangerous goods promptly.
Implementation, compliance and enforcement, and service standards
Implementation
Coming into force
The proposed Regulations would come into force upon publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II.
Transition period
The proposed Regulations, including compliance with means of containment standards, include a six-month transition period during which stakeholders could continue complying with the current TDGR. At the end of the six-month transition period, stakeholders would have to comply with the new requirements.
Transition period for retesting of containers
The periodic retest of container designs prescribed under CAN/CGSB-43.150 would come into force 24 months after these proposed Regulations are published in Canada Gazette, Part II.
Stakeholder awareness and inspector education
To raise awareness about the proposed Regulations after they are published in Part II of the Canada Gazette, TC will inform stakeholders via the TDG Public Awareness Program which includes
- Informing stakeholders through the TDG General Policy Advisory Council;
- Publishing articles in the TDG Newsletter, which is distributed free of charge to more than 23 000 readers in Canada and abroad and posted on the TC website; and
- Providing presentations at various conferences held by stakeholder groups (i.e. manufacturers and distributors of dangerous goods, road, rail, air and marine carriers, as well as first responders).
TC’s TDG Inspector Education Program develops, updates, and delivers training and training products and standard operating procedures to ensure a consistent and uniform application of the TDG Compliance Strategy. TDG inspectors receive training on all amendments to the TDGR.
Compliance and enforcement
Oversight activities to verify compliance with the TDG Act and the TDGR are critical to ensure dangerous goods are imported, offered for transport, handle, or transported in a safe manner. Compliance with the TDG Act and the TDGR, including compliance with means of containment standards, is verified through inspections. These inspections are carried out at both the federal level and the provincial level and involve all modes of transport and all consignors of dangerous goods. Should an inspector identify non-compliance, the inspector would determine the appropriate action, which, depending on the nature and severity of the infraction, could include the detention of dangerous goods, the issuance of a fine (ticket), or recommending the revocation of a registration certificate or a criminal prosecution.
These enforcement tools and activities are key elements of TC’s efforts to reduce risk to life, to protect property, to reduce environmental impacts, and to support the continued efficiency and effectiveness of the national transportation system.
Cost
All costs associated with stakeholder awareness, inspector education, compliance and enforcement, including the review of undeclared/misdeclared goods, would be managed within existing TC resources.
