Notes: 1. The Notice of Filing published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on September 4, 1993, incorrectly listed the product identifiers for the controlled products associated with the claims bearing Registry Numbers 3074, 3075 and 3076 as Lubrizol(tm) 276, Lubrizol(tm) 5372, and Lubrizol(tm) 5941. The correct product identifiers are LUBRIZOL^(r) 276, LUBRIZOL^(r) 5372 and LUBRIZOL^(r) 5941, respectively.

2. The Notice of Filing published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on January 25, 1997, incorrectly listed the product identifiers for the controlled products associated with the claims bearing Registry Numbers 3877, 3878 and 3879 as BETZ PHILMPLUS 5K101, BETZ PHILMPLUS 5K5 and BETZ PETROMEEN OS-16. The correct product identifiers are Betz Philmplus 5K101, Betz Philmplus 5K5 and Betz Petromeen OS-16, respectively.

3. The Notice of Filing published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on January 25, 1997, listed the product identifier for the controlled product associated with the claim bearing Registry Number 3885 as CHEMLOK 7701. The correct product identifier is Chemlok 7701.

There were no submissions from affected parties to the Screening Officer with respect to any of the above claims for exemption and related MSDSs.

Each of the claims for exemption listed above was found to be valid. The Screening Officer reached this decision after reviewing the information in support of the claim, having regard exclusively to the criteria found in section 3 of the Hazardous Materials Information Review Regulations. After consultation with officials of the Department of Health, and having regard for the various data readily available in the literature and any information provided by the claimant, the Screening Officer found that with the exceptions of those claims bearing Registry Numbers 1196-012, 3916, 3974, 4032, 4069 and 4070, the respective MSDS relating to each claim did not comply with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hazardous Products Act and the Controlled Products Regulations.

Registry Number 1196-012

Date of Decision: April 21, 1998

The Screening Officer found that the MSDS to which this claim relates complied with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hazardous Products Act and the Controlled Products Regulations.

Registry Numbers 3074 to 3076, inclusive

Note: The Notice of Filing published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on September 4, 1993, listed the subject of the claims bearing Registry Numbers 3074 and 3075 to be the chemical identity of one ingredient. It has since been established that the subject of the claims is the chemical identity of two ingredients.

Date of decisions: September 9, 1998

The claimant has been ordered to amend certain aspects of the format and content of the MSDS.

In the opinion of the Screening Officer, certain information should have been shown on the MSDS. The claimant has been further ordered to amend the MSDS as indicated below.

1. In relation to the first aid information shown on the MSDS for ingestion, add a statement such as the following: If vomiting occurs naturally, have casualty lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration;

2. Add oxides of carbon to the list of hazardous combustion products;

3. Registry Number 3074: Disclose that acute ingestion of an ingredient in the controlled product has been shown to cause irritation to the gastro-intestinal tract and adverse CNS effects in laboratory animals;

The final determination was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on October 24, 1998 (Vol. 132, No. 43).

The panel review will be conducted in accordance with the NAFTA Article 1904 Panel Rules. Subrule 35(1)(c) of the above-mentioned rules provides that:

Notices of Appearance and Complaints pertaining to the present panel review, CDA-USA-98-1904-03, should be filed with the Canadian Secretary at the NAFTA Secretariat, Canadian Section, Royal Bank Centre, Suite 705, 90 Sparks Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5B4.

Explanatory Note

Chapter 19 of the North American Free Trade Agreement establishes a procedure for replacing domestic judicial review of determinations in anti-dumping and countervailing duty cases involving imports from a NAFTA country with review by binational panels.

These panels are established, when a Request for Panel Review is received by the NAFTA Secretariat, to act in place of national courts to expeditiously review final determinations to determine whether they are in accordance with the anti-dumping or countervailing duty law of the country that made the determination.

Under Article 1904 of the North American Free Trade Agreement which came into force on January 1, 1994, the Government of Canada, the Government of the United States and the Government of Mexico established the NAFTA Article 1904 Panel Rules. These Rules were published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on January 1, 1994.

Requests for information concerning the present notice, or concerning the NAFTA Article 1904 Panel Rules, should be addressed to the Canadian Secretary, NAFTA Secretariat, Canadian Section, Royal Bank Centre, Suite 705, 90 Sparks Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5B4, (613) 992-9388.
