Notice of second release of technical information relevant to substances identified in the Challenge

Whereas the Government of Canada published on Saturday, December 9, 2006, in the Canada Gazette, Part I, Vol. 140, No. 49, the Notice of intent to develop and implement measures to assess and manage the risks posed by certain substances to the health of Canadians and their environment in which it highlights how it intends to address approximately 200 chemical substances identified as high priorities for action;

Notice is hereby given that the Government of Canada is releasing the technical documentation relevant to the 17 substances listed in Schedule 1, Section 3 to this notice. The Government of Canada challenges interested parties to submit the specific information detailed in the technical documentation.

The technical documentation and associated deadlines for submission of information are available via the Government of Canada's Chemical Substances Portal (www.chemicalsubstances. gc.ca), and may also be obtained by contacting the Existing Substances Program, 351 Saint-Joseph Boulevard, 20th Floor, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0H3, 1-800-410-4314/819-953-4936 (fax), DSL.SurveyCo@ec.gc.ca (email), 1-888-228-0530/819-956-9313 (telephone).

A notice concerning a survey for certain substances listed in Schedule 1, Section 3 to this notice is simultaneously published under paragraph 71(1)(b) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 in this edition of the Canada Gazette, Part I.

In accordance with section 313 of the Act, any person who provides information in response to this notice may submit with the information a request that it be treated as confidential.

SCHEDULE 1

Plan for the assessment and management of certain substances on the Domestic Substances List and list of batch 2 Challenge substances

1. Background

The Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) required that the Government review some 23 000 Domestic Substances List (DSL) substances to determine whether they have certain characteristics which indicate that the Government should assess the risks that may be associated with their continued use in Canada. The Government recently completed this exercise, called categorization. Categorization provides a new information baseline on all identified substances, which will allow the Government of Canada to work with its partners to achieve tangible results that protect Canadians and the environment.

The Ministers of the Environment and of Health (the Ministers) published on Saturday, December 9, 2006, in the Canada Gazette, Part I, Vol. 140, No. 49, the Notice of intent to develop and implement measures to assess and manage the risks posed by certain substances to the health of Canadians and their environment. This notice indicates that approximately 200 of the 4 300 chemical substances identified by the categorization exercise are high priorities for action because

the Ministers consider that evidence that a substance is both persistent and bioaccumulative (according to the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations), when combined with evidence of toxicity and release into the environment, can lead to harmful ecological impacts. This indicates that the substance meets the criterion in paragraph 64(a) of CEPA 1999;
the Ministers consider that where there is evidence that a substance for which the critical health effect is assumed to have no threshold—i.e. a mutagenic carcinogen—it is assumed that there is a probability of harm to human health at any level of exposure, and therefore indicates that the substance meets the criterion in paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999;
the Ministers consider that evidence that a substance exhibits carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, developmental toxicity, or reproductive toxicity, and a high likelihood of exposure to individuals in Canada, indicates that the substance meets the criterion in paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999; and
there is evidence that these substances are in commerce in Canada.

This notice also outlines the measures which the Ministers intend to take regarding these substances to further protect the health of Canadians and the environment. These measures will

improve, where possible, persistence and/or bioaccumulation information;
identify industrial best practices in order to set benchmarks for risk management, product stewardship, and virtual elimination; and
collect environmental release, exposure, substance and/or product use information.

In so doing, the Ministers will make timely risk management interventions that minimize the risk of serious or irreversible harm associated with the above substances.

Pursuant to paragraph 74(a) of the Act, the Ministers are required to conduct a screening assessment of the substances categorized under subsection 73(1) to determine whether they meet the criteria established in section 64 of the Act.

The Ministers have documented for each of the 17 batch 2 Challenge substances the information in their possession and have prepared documentation which (a) summarizes the scientific information and any relevant uncertainties, (b) specifies the information necessary for improved decision-making and, where appropriate, requires submission of this data using section 71, and (c) outlines how this information will be used in decisions.

Information deemed necessary for improved decision-making is being gathered via section 71 of CEPA 1999. Additional information regarding the scientific properties of these substances, or best management practices associated with the use of these substances that is deemed beneficial by interested stakeholders, will be collected as detailed in the technical documentation available via the Government of Canada Chemical Substances Portal (www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca). The absence of new information will not preclude the Ministers from issuing a decision that safeguards human health and the environment.

2. Timelines

If new information for the 17 substances listed below is not received by November 13, 2007, then by no later than February 16, 2008, the Ministers will open a 60-day public comment period under subsection 77(1) on (a) the screening assessment, and (b) the proposal to pursue one of the measures as specified under subsection 77(2) and, where applicable, the implementation of virtual elimination under subsection 65(3) as specified under subsection 77(2).

If new information is received by November 13, 2007, that information will be considered and, by no later than May 17, 2008, the Ministers will open a 60-day public comment period under subsection 77(1) on (a) the screening assessment, (b) the new information received, and (c) their proposal to pursue one of the measures as specified under subsection 77(2).

Discussions with stakeholders on the development of the risk management approach will be initiated at the time of the subsection 77(1) publication. The Ministers will publish their final recommendation under subsection 77(6) by no later than August 16, 2008, where no new information was received during this call for information and by no later than November 22, 2008, where new information was received during this call for information. A risk management approach will be issued at that time outlining actions which the Government proposes to take to protect Canadians and their environment from risks associated with these substances.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) required the Minister of Health and the Minister of the Environment to categorize the approximately 23 000 substances on the Domestic Substances List (DSL). Based on the information obtained through the categorization process, a number of substances have been identified by the Ministers as high priorities for action. This includes substances

that were found to meet all of the ecological categorization criteria, including persistence, bioaccumulation potential and inherent toxicity to aquatic organisms (PbiT), and that are known to be in commerce, or of commercial interest, in Canada; and/or
that were found either to meet the categorization criteria for greatest potential for exposure (GPE) or to present an intermediate potential for exposure (IPE), and were identified as posing a high hazard to human health based on available evidence on carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, developmental toxicity or reproductive toxicity.

The Challenge initiative is meant to engage stakeholders to provide new information that could improve decision-making with respect to 200 substances identified as high priorities for action.

Respecting direction under section 76.1 of CEPA 1999, and in the absence of additional relevant information as a result of this Challenge, the Ministers are predisposed to conclude, through a screening assessment, that a substance satisfies the definition of toxic under section 64 of CEPA 1999 in that it "may enter the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity and may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health." As such, the Ministers are prepared to then recommend to the Governor in Council that this substance be added to the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of CEPA 1999, with the intent of initiating the development of risk management measures taking into account socio-economic considerations. The measures will be subject to review in light of new scientific information, including monitoring and ongoing assessment activities.

The 200 Challenge substances are in commerce or are believed to be in commerce. Should no information be forthcoming through this Challenge to confirm that a substance is in commerce in Canada, the Ministers will conclude, through a screening assessment, that this substance does not satisfy the definition of toxic under section 64 of CEPA 1999. However, given the hazardous properties of this substance, there is concern that new activities for the substance that have not been identified or assessed under CEPA 1999 could lead to the substance meeting the criteria set out in section 64 of the Act. Therefore, it will be recommended that this substance be subject to the Significant New Activity provisions specified under subsection 81(3) of the Act, to ensure that any new manufacture, import or use of this substance in quantities greater than 100 kg/year is reported, and that ecological and human health risk assessments are conducted as specified in section 83 of the Act prior to the substance being introduced into Canada.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the notice.)

The Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health (the Ministers) have published on December 9, 2006, in the Canada Gazette, Part I, the Notice of intent to develop and implement measures to assess and manage the risks posed by certain substances to the health of Canadians and their environment. The Ministers will implement a series of measures regarding certain substances to further protect the health of individuals in Canada and the environment from the potential effects of exposure to these substances. These measures apply to the substances identified by categorization of the Domestic Substances List as being

(a) persistent, bioaccumulative, and inherently toxic to the environment and that are known to be in commerce in Canada; and/or

(b) a high hazard to humans and as having a high likelihood of exposure to individuals in Canada.

The Ministers will implement a series of measures regarding these substances to further protect the health of individuals in Canada and the environment from the potential effects associated with exposure to these substances. These measures will

improve, where possible, persistence and/or bioaccumulation information;
identify industrial best practices in order to set benchmarks for risk management, product stewardship, and virtual elimination; and
collect environmental release, exposure, substance and/or product use information.

The notice of intent, published on December 9, 2006, covered a list of 193 substances on which information will be required on a quarterly basis within the next three years.
