EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Canada Shipping Act (CSA) was amended in 1993 to enhance the environmental protection of all Canadian waters south of 60° North latitude through the establishment of industry-funded and managed Response Organizations (ROs) capable of mounting an oil spill response to a marine-based incident. The Minister of Fisheries and Oceans is responsible for certifying that ROs meet the required standards to be formally designed as a certified RO. The Canada Coast Guard (CCG), of the Department of Fisheries and oceans, fulfils this responsibility on behalf of the Minister. CCG also maintains responsibility for ensuring response in Canadian waters north of 60° North latitude.

In accordance with the provisions of the CSA, certain ships and oil handling facilities (OHFs) are required to have an oil spill preparedness arrangement with a certified RO for the provision of response in the event of an oil spill.

Four ROs, each capable of providing response to a 10 000 tonne oil spill within specified geographic areas of response, have been certified by CCG as follows:

— Atlantic Emergency Response Team (ALERT) Inc.

— Eastern Canada Response Corporation (ECRC)

— Point Tupper Marine Services Ltd. (PTMS)

— Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC)

The CSA provides for the amendment of fees established by a certified RO at any time during its period of certification.

ECRC's proposal to amend its bulk oil cargo fees in the Quebec/Maritime Region, was published by CCG, on behalf of the Minister, on June 24, 2000 in Part I of the Canada Gazette. The Minister approved these proposed fees, without amendment, by Order, on September 12, 2000. ECRC established its fees in accordance with the Minister's Order on September 20, 2000. The bulk oil cargo fees which have been established by ECRC, are the bulk oil cargo fees that are payable in relation to an arrangement with ECRC.

For information regarding the Minister's Order, please contact: Nora McCleary, Canadian Coast Guard, Safety and Environmental Response Systems, 200 Kent Street, 5th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0E6, (613) 990-6718 (Telephone), (613) 996-8902 (Facsimile), mcclearyn@dfo-mpo.gc.ca (Electronic mail).

For more information regarding ECRC and its fees, please contact: Mr. Paul Pouliotte, Chief Financial Officer, Eastern Canada Response Corporation, 275 Slater Street, Suite 1201, Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5H9, (613) 230-7369 (Telephone), (613) 230-7344 (Facsimile), http://www.ecrc.ca (Web site).
