DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT
CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999
Environmental Choice Program — Guideline on Renewable Low-impact Electricity
Pursuant to subsection 54(3) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Minister of the Environment hereby gives notice of the availability of a draft guideline on renewable low-impact electricity under the auspices of the Environmental Choice Program (ECP).
Notice is hereby given that any person may, by March 7, 2002, file written comments on the draft guideline with TerraChoice Environmental Services Inc. at the address below, or provide written comments through the World Wide Web site at www. environmentalchoice.com by following the link under "Green Power."
All written comments are to be made publicly available to all interested parties.
The ECP is designed to support a continuing effort to improve and/or maintain environmental quality by reducing energy and materials consumption and by minimizing the impacts of pollution generated by the production, use and disposal of goods and services available to Canadians.
Based on a review of currently available life cycle information of the production, use and disposal stages, the product category requirements of the draft guideline will produce an environmental benefit through:
(a) the displacement of non-renewable fuels by renewable, more sustainable fuel sources;
(b) the reduction of air emissions that contribute to global warming, smog, acid rain and air-borne particulate pollution;
(c) the reduction of solid wastes arising from both the mining and extraction of non-renewable fuel sources, and the disposal of toxic metal emissions and nuclear wastes; and
(d) the reduction of impacts on aquatic, riparian and terrestrial ecosystems from electricity-generating activities.
Life cycle review is an ongoing process. As information and technology change, the product category requirements will be reviewed and possibly amended.
For copies of the draft guideline or for more information about the ECP, please contact TerraChoice Environmental Services Inc., 2781 Lancaster Road, Suite 400, Ottawa, Ontario K1B 1A7, (613) 247-1900 (Telephone), (613) 247-2228 (Facsimile).

Notice of an amendment to the bulk oil cargo fees charged by Western Canada Marine Response Corporation pursuant to an arrangement required by sections 660.2(2)(b) and 660.2(4)(b) of the Canada Shipping Act.
Description
Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) currently is a certified response organization pursuant to subsection 660.4(1) of the Act in respect of a rated capability of 10 000 tonnes and a geographic area covering the waters bordering British Columbia (including the shorelines associated with such waters) and excluding waters north of 60° N latitude.
Definitions
1. In this notice of fees:
"Act" means the Canada Shipping Act. (Loi)
"asphalt" means a derivate of oil that is commercially described as road or paving asphalt or unblended roofers flux, that has a specific gravity equal to or greater than one, that is solid at 15 degrees Celsius and that sinks to the bottom as a solid when immersed in water. (asphalte)
"BOCF" means bulk oil cargo fee. (droits sur les produits pétroliers en vrac (DPPV))
"designated oil handling facility" means an oil handling facility that is designated pursuant to subsection 660.2(8) of the Act and is located in WCMRC's geographic area. (installation de manutention d'hydrocarbures agréée)
"ship" means a ship within the meaning of section 660.2 of the Act. (navire)
"ship (bulk oil)" means a ship that is constructed or adapted primarily to carry bulk oil in its cargo spaces. (navire (avec produits pétroliers en vrac))
Bulk Oil Cargo Fees
2. Effective January 1, 2002, the bulk oil cargo fees that are payable to WCMRC in relation to an arrangement required by paragraphs 660.2(2)(b) and 4(b) of the Act are the bulk oil cargo fees set out in Part I of this notice.
3. Nothing in this notice is intended to modify, replace or amend the registration fees established by, and payable to WCMRC, and published in the August 21, 1999 edition of the Canada Gazette, Part I.
PART I
4. This part applies to the loading and unloading of oil within WCMRC's Geographic Area of Response (GAR).
5. In relation to an arrangement with WCMRC, the total BOCF payable by a designated oil handling facility shall be determined by multiplying the total number of tonnes of bulk oil unloaded and (in the case of bulk oil intended for international destinations and destinations north of 60° N latitude) loaded at the designated oil handling facility, by the BOCF per tonne for each type of oil set out in sections 7 and 8 of this Part.
6. In relation to an arrangement with WCMRC, the total BOCF payable by a ship (bulk oil) shall be determined:
(a) in the case of bulk oil loaded onto the ship (bulk oil) and intended for international destinations and destinations north of 60° N latitude, by multiplying the total number of tonnes of bulk oil loaded at an oil handling facility that is within WCMRC's geographic area, and that does not have an arrangement with WCMRC, by the BOCF per tonne for each type of oil set out in sections 7 and 8 of this Part;
(b) in the case of bulk oil unloaded from the ship (bulk oil), by multiplying the total number of tonnes of bulk oil unloaded at an oil handling facility that is within WCMRC's geographic area, and that does not have an arrangement with WCMRC, by the BOCF per tonne for each type of oil set out in sections 7 and 8 of this Part;
(c) in the case of bulk oil loaded onto the ship (bulk oil) outside WCMRC's geographic area which is transferred within WCMRC's geographic area to another ship for use as fuel by such ship, by multiplying the total number of tonnes of bulk oil transferred, by the BOCF per tonne for each type of oil set out in sections 7 and 8 of this Part; and
(d) in the case of bulk oil received by the ship (bulk oil) within WCMRC's geographic area from another ship as cargo where such bulk oil is intended for international destinations and destinations north of 60° N latitude, by multiplying the total number of tonnes of bulk oil received by the BOCF per tonne for each type of oil set out in sections 7 and 8 of this Part.
7. The BOCF applicable in respect of oil (other than asphalt) is forty-nine and three-tenths cents ($0.493) per tonne, plus all applicable taxes.
8. The BOCF applicable in respect of asphalt is twenty-four and seven-tenths cents ($0.247) per tonne, plus all applicable taxes.
