Timelines/Key Dates

  • Publication of the Notices: April 1, 2017
  • This data gathering initiative incorporates 2 Notices
  • These notices have the following reporting deadlines:
  • Summer 2017 Notice: June 28, 2017 (3 p.m. EDT)
  • Fall 2017 Notice: September 27, 2017 (3 p.m. EDT)

Background

  • The purpose of these Notices is to collect information on approximately

80 toxic and proposed toxic substances for the risk management programs at ECCC and HC

  • Risk management, informed by data gathering to obtain current market

trends, applies to substances that pose a risk (i.e., are concluded “toxic” as defined under section 64 of CEPA), in order to minimize or eliminate the risk.

  • If a risk management instrument has been in place for some time and

the government is not satisfied that the risk has been sufficiently prevented or reduced, it can take further action.

4

slide-5
SLIDE 5

Context

  • Data is being collected through these Notices to inform “whether to

control, or the manner in which to control a substance, including a substance specified on the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1” (CEPA s.71(1)); i.e.

– to identify whether there are new sources of exposure that may require risk management; – to inform development and design of risk management instruments; or – to inform performance measurement and amendments to existing risk management instruments.

5

slide-6
SLIDE 6

Performance Measurement

  • Performance measurement is the process of evaluating the

effectiveness of risk management actions

  • Involves collecting updated data and comparing it to baseline data
  • Progress towards achieving objectives is evaluated
  • Outcomes of performance measurement may include:

– Amendments to existing instrument(s) – New instrument(s) (e.g., if new sources requiring risk management are identified or if instrument is not effective) – Further data collection, tracking and/or monitoring trends – No further action

slide-7
SLIDE 7

Summer and Fall 2017 Notices

  • The substances subject to these two Notices are toxic or proposed toxic.

– Risk management instruments already in place for some of the toxic substances in the Notices, and will be developed for others. – For substances proposed as toxic, risk management options need to be identified.

  • Substances included in the Notice (Schedule 1)
  • Summer 2017 Notice contains approx. 31 substances divided into 4 parts
  • Fall 2017 Notice contains 50 substances divided into 5 parts

activity, you may have to proving information for 2015 for an activity with one substance while reporting for 2016 for another activity with the same substance in Section 6. NOTE:

  • If you meet the reporting criteria for both 2015 and 2016, you will not be required to

Request for Confidentiality

  • As part of Section 313 of CEPA, companies who provide information in

response to a section 71 Notice may submit with the information a request that it be treated as confidential. – Clearly identify the specific data elements in your response that are confidential business information and provide a rationale – The rationale is requested for each substance on which the person has reported in their response to the Notice

  • Section 6 of the guidance document contains further information on how

to make a request for confidentiality.

43

slide-44
SLIDE 44
  • Blind submissions

– Used when a supplier’s information is confidential (e.g., substance identity, concentration). Each party (supplier and customer) submits partial data to make one complete response. (Refer to Guidance document Sections 6 and 7).

  • Joint submissions

– Coordinated response on behalf of several parties, pooling resources and saving costs. For example:

  • Association submitting on behalf of their members
  • Large supplier submitting on behalf of their downstream customers
  • Blind and joint submissions can be submitted by email to:

eccc.substances.eccc@canada.ca (Indicate in the subject line “Risk Management s.71 Blind Submission“ or “Risk Management s.71 Joint Submission“ as well as for which Notice: Summer 2017
