Notice with Respect to Substances in the National Pollutant Release Inventory for 2001 — Amendment

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to subsection 46(1) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, that the Notice with Respect to Substances in the National Pollutant Release Inventory for 2001, published March 24, 2001, in the Canada Gazette, Part I, is amended as set out in Schedule 1. This notice comes into force on the date of its publication and remains in force until March 24, 2004.

2. Item 201 in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the English version of the Notice is repealed.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the notice.)

Substances in the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) are substances of health and/or environmental concern. A person who owns or operates a facility that meets certain reporting criteria is required to report information about releases on-site, transfers off-site for disposal or recycling, and other information to Environment Canada for certain substances listed on the NPRI.

For a substance to be added to the NPRI, the substance should meet certain criteria as outlined in the Guidelines for the Use of Information Gathering Authorities Under Section 46 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. Subsequently, if a substance currently listed on the NPRI does not meet those criteria, it may be removed from the NPRI list of substances.

Environment Canada has decided to remove phosphoric acid (CAS No. 7664-38-2) from the NPRI list of substances for 2001 and subsequent years. The present listing of phosphoric acid does not adequately capture releases of phosphates (as salts), which are substances of environmental concern because of their contribution to eutrophication. Eutrophication is the nutrient enrichment of waters resulting in stimulation of an array of undesirable symptomatic changes in the aquatic ecosystem.

When phosphoric acid is neutralized prior to being released, it forms a salt. Salts of phosphoric acid are not reported to the NPRI under the listing of "phosphoric acid" since the substance is no longer an acid. Environment Canada has therefore removed phosphoric acid from the NPRI list of substances.

Environment Canada will consider an alternate listing for phosphorus or phosphates in a subsequent year. The objective is to determine a better means to list the forms of phosphates and phosphorus that are of greatest environmental concern in order to better and more comprehensively track releases and transfers.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT

AERONAUTICS ACT

Notice of Intent

This notice is to advise the public of Transport Canada's intention, pursuant to section 4.83 of the Aeronautics Act, as amended by Bill C-44, An Act to amend the Aeronautics Act, to develop regulations that would identify the information that an operator of an aircraft may provide to the competent authority of a foreign state (for example, the United States) if the laws of that foreign state require this information.

Subsection 4.83(3) of the Aeronautics Act authorizes the making of regulations respecting the type or classes of information that may be provided and specifying the foreign states to which the information may be given. An outline of the proposal is presented in the schedule of this notice.

Proposals to regulate two classes of information about flight crew and passengers are being considered. The first would consist of basic information while the second would consist of additional information. An operator of an aircraft could give the additional information only if the competent authority of a foreign state specifically requested it. At present, the only foreign state to which the regulations would apply is the United States (U.S.).

Basic information about the passengers and crew members would include the name, birth date, citizenship, gender, number of the passport and, if applicable, U.S. visa or resident alien card. Individual passengers now provide this information to U.S. customs officials when they land in the United States or when being examined at preclearance inspection facilities at major airports prior to the departure of their flight from Canada.

Additional information about the passengers that might be requested by the competent authority includes the name of the travel agency that made the arrangements, the date of ticket issue, itinerary cities, the destination in the foreign state, seat assignment on the flight, the number of pieces of baggage checked by the passenger, class of service and passenger telephone numbers and addresses.

The President of the United States signed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act into law on November 19, 2001. The American Act requires that basic passenger information be provided in advance in respect of all flights entering the United States and that, upon request, additional information also be provided. The requirements under the American Act come into force on January 18, 2002.

The U.S. Customs Service has not yet identified a definitive list of the additional passenger information that must be provided to the United States under the U.S. Aviation Security and Transportation Security Act. As a result, only the proposal to provide the information contained in the passenger name record and referred to in the Agreement on Air Transport Preclearance between The Government of Canada and The Government of the United States of America, signed January 18, 2001, is being considered at present. Preliminary consultations with the U.S. Customs Service, carried out through the U.S. Embassy, did not identify additional information that would be required.

The American legislation may impose a burden on air carriers, depending on the current method of data retention. If air carriers are required to provide a subset of the data elements making up their passenger name records, the cost of changing hardware and programming to be able to do this in real time could be substantial.

Interested persons may obtain more information or make representations with respect to this Notice of Intent to the Minister of Transport within seven days after the date of publication of this notice. All such representations should cite the Canada Gazette, Part I, and the date of publication of this notice. Each representation must be in writing and be sent to Mr. Jim Marriott, Director, Security Policy and Legislation (ABA), Security and Emergency Preparedness, Safety and Security Group, Department of Transport, Place de Ville, Tower C, 330 Sparks Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N8, (613) 996-6381 (Facsimile).

Persons making representations should identify any of those representations the disclosure of which should be refused under the Access to Information Act, in particular under sections 19 and 20 of that Act, and should indicate the reasons why and the period during which the representations should not be disclosed. They should also identify any representations for which there is consent to disclosure for the purposes of that Act.
