REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT
(This statement is not part of the Order.)
Issues
Canadians depend on substances that are used in hundreds of goods, from medicines to computers, fabric and fuels. Under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), substances (i.e. chemicals, polymers, nanomaterials, and living organisms) “new” to Canada are subject to reporting requirements before they can be manufactured or imported. This limits market access until human health and environmental impacts associated with the new substances are assessed and managed where appropriate.
The Government of Canada (the Government) assessed information on 18 new substances reported to the New Substances Program and determined that they meet the criteria for their addition to the Domestic Substances List (DSL). These substances have therefore been added to the DSL.
Background
The DSL is an inventory of substances in the Canadian marketplace. Substances that are not on the DSL are considered new to Canada and are subject to notification and assessment requirements before they can be manufactured in or imported into Canada. The notification and assessment requirements are set out in subsections 81(1) and 106(1) of CEPA as well as in the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers) and the New Substances Notification Regulations (Organisms). These notification and assessment requirements do not apply to substances listed on the DSL.
The DSL was published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, in May 1994 (see footnote 2) and is amended on average 10 times a year. These amendments may add or remove substances, or make corrections to the DSL.
A chemical or a polymer must be added to the DSL under subsections 87(1) or (5) of CEPA within 120 days once all of the following conditions are met:
- the Minister of the Environment has been provided with information regarding the substance; (see footnote 3)
- the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health are satisfied that the substance has already been manufactured in or imported into Canada under the conditions set out in section 87 of CEPA by the person who provided the information;
- the period prescribed for the assessment of the information submitted for the substance has expired; and
- the substance is not subject to any conditions imposed pursuant to paragraph 84(1)(a) of CEPA on its import or manufacture.
Environment Canada and Health Canada assessed information on 18 new substances reported to the New Substances Program and determined that they meet the criteria for addition to the DSL.
Objective
The objective of the Order 2016-87-07-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List (the Order) is to comply with the requirements under subsection 87(5) of CEPA by adding 18 substances to the DSL. These substances are therefore no longer subject to the notification and assessment requirements as set out in subsection 81(1) of CEPA and in the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers).
Description
The Order added 18 substances to the DSL. To protect confidential business information, 15 of the 18 substances have masked chemical names. Masked names are allowed by CEPA if the publication of the explicit chemical or biological name of a substance would result in the release of confidential business information. (see footnote 4) Substances with a masked name are added on the confidential portion of the DSL. Anyone who wishes to determine if a substance is on the confidential portion of the DSL must file a Notice of Bona Fide Intent to Manufacture or Import with the New Substances Program.
“One-for-One” Rule and small business lens
The Order does not trigger the “One-for-One” Rule, as it does not add any additional costs to business. Also, the small business lens does not apply to the Order, as it does not add any administrative or compliance burden to small businesses.
Consultation
As the Order does not contain any information expected to generate comments or objections by stakeholders, no consultation is deemed necessary.
Rationale
The Government assessed information on 18 new substances reported to the New Substances Program and determined that they meet the criteria for their addition to the DSL. These substances have therefore been added to the DSL.
The Order will benefit Canadians by enabling the industry to have better access to larger quantities of these substances, which is expected to reduce costs associated with their use in products consumed by Canadians.
It is expected that there will be no incremental costs to the public, industry or governments associated with the Order.
Implementation, enforcement and service standards
The DSL identifies substances that, for the purposes of CEPA, are not subject to the requirements of the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers) or the New Substances Notification Regulations (Organisms). Developing an implementation plan and a compliance strategy or establishing a service standard is not required when adding substances to the DSL.
