REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Issues

Recently, the international community has made updates to the United Nations (UN) Model Regulations (UN Recommendations) and international modal regulations for the different modes of transport for transportation of dangerous goods. These updates include the addition of new marine pollutants to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code), new requirements for dangerous goods safety marks for fumigated cargo and for the transport of lithium batteries and new shipping names and provisions for engines and resin kits. These changes have not yet been introduced in the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR), leading to confusion amongst Canadian and foreign stakeholders. Also, new provisions adopted in the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations, regarding the classification of polymerizing substances and viscous liquids, have not yet been incorporated in the TDGR, causing increased burden on consignors who have to classify dangerous goods before offering them for transport.

The TDGR reference the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions and the IMDG Code. However, these documents are updated regularly and as a result the versions referenced in the TDGR are not always the most current ones. This can be confusing for stakeholders and lead to increased burden since a regulatory amendment is required to update the reference in the TDGR to the newest versions.

Differences between the national standards and regulations in Canada and those in the United States (U.S.) are sometimes causing an impediment for shippers on both sides of the border as they must contend with two sets of requirements. The lack of harmonization, in particular with respect to pressure receptacles and equivalency certificates, is imposing burden on business operation, on cross-border trade and on the gas industry.

The Canadian General Standards Board recently updated the standard for Packaging of Category A and Category B infectious substances (Class 6.2) and clinical (bio) medical or regulated medical waste and the standard for Design, manufacture and use of intermediate bulk containers for the transportation of dangerous goods, Classes 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 8 and 9 after 17 years and the TDGR need to be revised to reflect the changes.

In addition, propane cylinders used for hot air ballooning are not certified cylinders under the TDGR and are therefore not compliant with the current TDGR. The TDGR allows dangerous goods to be transported by road in cylinders that are not certified under the TDGR from or for a ship or aircraft for the purpose of refilling, exchange or requalification if certain conditions are met. However, this exemption cannot be used to allow the transport of hot air balloon cylinders by road to and from launch or landing sites or to storage facilities as these activities are not for the purpose of refilling, exchanging or requalification. The temporary solution has been to issue equivalency certificates under the TDGR to allow the transport of the non-specification cylinders, but this is not an ideal long-term solution.

Background

In Canada, the transportation of dangerous goods is regulated under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992 (TDG Act), the Regulations made under the TDG Act and standards incorporated by reference into the TDGR. To ensure consistency among regulatory systems around the world, the UN develops recommendations (UN Recommendations), with the input of member countries, including Canada, to harmonize the hazard classification criteria and hazard communication tools as well as the transport conditions of dangerous goods for all modes of transport. Canada is involved in the development of all aspects of the UN Recommendations for the transportation of dangerous goods and is a member of United Nations agencies, such as ICAO and the International Maritime Organization, and contributes to updates of the ICAO Technical Instructions and the IMDG Code. As a member of these agencies, it is expected that Canada, when revising or developing regulations respecting the transport of dangerous goods, will endeavour to incorporate the principles laid down in the UN Recommendations and the international modal regulations in order to increase worldwide harmonization in the field. As a result the TDGR are updated periodically to harmonize the TDGR, to the greatest extent possible, with the UN Recommendations and the international modal regulations. This internationally harmonized system helps carriers, consignors and inspecting authorities by facilitating compliance and trade between countries and by enhancing the safety of the transportation of dangerous goods both domestically and internationally.

The TDGR incorporate by reference the UN Recommendations, the ICAO Technical Instructions and the IMDG Code for requirements such as classification, labelling and marking of means of containment, transport documentation and safety marks for dangerous goods. The TDGR also specify that people involved in handling such goods must be appropriately trained to ensure they can safely handle and transport dangerous goods.

Bill S-2, Incorporation by Reference in Regulations Act (short title), brought forward amendments to the Statutory Instruments Act specifically aimed at addressing incorporation by reference and was granted royal assent on June 18, 2015. The amendments to the Statutory Instruments Act provide, in some cases, explicit power to incorporate by reference standards in regulation on an ambulatory basis. Incorporation of documents by reference brings the content of a document that is externally or internally generated into a regulation, without the need to reproduce the document in the regulation itself. If the reference in the regulation is a “static” reference (not an ambulatory reference), the document is incorporated as it exists at the time it is made part of the regulation. If the referenced document is amended after it is incorporated, the amendment is not automatically incorporated, and the regulation continues to make reference to the past version. The regulation would need to be amended to adopt the more recent version of the incorporated document. By incorporating the document using an ambulatory reference, “as amended from time to time,” any change to that document would automatically become part of the regulation.

Transport Canada has held ongoing discussions with U.S. regulators to harmonize respective regulations to increase regulatory transparency and coordination between Canada and the United States under the Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) initiatives in order to facilitate North American trade and increase economic competitiveness while maintaining high safety standards. The creation of the RCC was announced by former prime minister Stephen Harper and President Barack Obama on February 4, 2011, and regulatory cooperation was reconfirmed as a priority by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Barack Obama on March 10, 2016. Part of the RCC work plan between Transport Canada and the United States involves mutual recognition of specifications for pressure receptacles so that receptacles such as cylinders used in recreational vehicles and outdoor grills manufactured in either the United States or Canada would be eligible to be filled and used in both countries.

The RCC work plan also includes reciprocal recognition of approvals issued in Canada and the United States with respect to the transport of dangerous goods. In Canada, a person may apply for an equivalency certificate under the TDG Act in order to conduct an activity in a way that is not consistent with the TDGR. In the United States, a special permit may be requested to carry out an activity that deviates from the requirements of the U.S. Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR]). These approvals are issued under their respective legislation to address situations where the Minister or designated person is satisfied that the activity authorized by the equivalency certificate will be conducted in a manner that will provide a level of safety at least equivalent to that provided by compliance with the legislation. For example, a new variation in design of a means of containment may provide the same level of safety as one that complies with the TDGR but since it is not specified in the requirements set out in the TDGR, it would not be considered compliant. In cases where dangerous goods are transported between Canada and the United States, both Canadian and U.S. approvals are sometimes needed. The RCC initiative aims to reduce the burden associated with applying to both countries to obtain approvals for the same shipment.

Another initiative under the RCC is the reciprocal recognition of U.S. one-time movement approvals (OTMAs) and temporary or emergency certificates issued under the TDG Act to move damaged tank cars and means of containment by rail to a nearby location for repair. While movement of a means of containment that does not comply with the TDGR is not normally allowed, it is sometimes necessary to move them to reduce or eliminate an immediate threat to public safety. These approvals are issued in situations where it is determined that the movement of a leaking tank car or means of containment would provide greater safety than allowing it to remain in place. The approvals require that measures be taken to prevent the spread of released dangerous goods. In cases where the means of containment needs to be transported between Canada and the United States, both Canadian and U.S. approvals are currently required. The RCC initiative would reduce the burden associated with applying to both countries to obtain these approvals.

Objectives

This amendment has several objectives. The first is to harmonize the TDGR with international regulatory requirements by updating the TDGR to incorporate changes introduced in the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations, the IMDG Code 2014 and the 2015–2016 ICAO Technical Instructions with respect to safety marks, classification information, shipping names, special provisions and marine pollutants.

The second objective is to introduce ambulatory references (also known as “dynamic references”) for the international codes incorporated in the TDGR. Canadian stakeholders would be required to use the most recent versions of the UN Recommendations, the IMDG Code, the ICAO Technical Instructions and the Supplement to the ICAO Technical Instructions as well as the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (MOTC) and 14 technical standards.

Another objective of this proposal is to reduce regulatory barriers to cross-border trade with the United States by formally recognizing aspects of the United States regulatory regime and by increasing reciprocity of regulatory requirements for pressure receptacles and approvals between Canada and the United States by aligning national standards and regulations.

This proposal would also eliminate the need to obtain an equivalency certificate in order to transport hot air balloon cylinders of propane by road, rail or ship.

Description

The proposed Regulations Amending the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (International Harmonization Update, 2016) [proposed amendments] would update the TDGR to harmonize them with the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations. Some changes are also being proposed to ensure consistency with the ICAO Technical Instructions, the IMDG Code and the 49 CFR.

New UN numbers, shipping names and related provisions

Through the proposed amendments, 11 new UN numbers would be added to align the TDGR with the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations, and two new alternate shipping names would be added to existing UN numbers. Changes would also be made to the TDGR to reflect provisions that have been amended or added to the UN Recommendations related to these new UN numbers and shipping names. The following are the main changes being proposed.

POLYESTER RESIN KIT, for which there was previously only one UN number, would now be assigned different numbers for the solid and liquid forms. UN3269 would continue to be used for POLYESTER RESIN KIT, liquid base material, while a new number, UN3527, would be given to POLYESTER RESIN KIT, solid base material. A new provision (special provision 153) would be added to provide criteria for determining the packing group for these resin kits.

Engines and machinery would no longer be listed together with vehicles under UN3166 but would be given new UN numbers depending on the classification of the type of fuel that powers them. New provisions would be added for engines and vehicles related to the new UN numbers. These new provisions (special provisions 154, 156 and 157) would assist in determining the correct UN numbers to use for consignment and to provide or clarify certain exemptions. One new provision (special provision 154) would grant exemptions from several requirements of the Regulations, including those for means of containment standards, safety marks and shipping documents, for engines, machinery and equipment with fuel tanks of 450 L or less. It would also provide exemptions for dangerous goods, such as batteries and fire extinguishers, that are contained in engines or machinery and are necessary for them to function safely. The current exemption for gasoline to operate an instrument or equipment (special case 1.34.1) would be removed from the TDGR as the exemption for gasoline in a fuel tank would be covered under the new special provision 154.

Four new UN numbers would also be added for polymerizing substances based on their state (liquid or solid) and whether they are temperature-controlled or stabilized. A new provision (special provision 155) that sets out specific requirements for transport would be added for these substances and other polymerizing substances if chemical stabilization is used.

The new alternate shipping names HALOGENATED MONOMETHYLDIPHENYLMETHANES, LIQUID, regulated only when the concentration is more than 50 ppm, by mass, and HALOGENATED MONOMETHYLDIPHENYLMETHANES, SOLID, regulated only when the concentration is more than 50 ppm, by mass, would be allowed to be used for UN3151 and UN3152, respectively.

Classification updates

The proposed amendments present updates to several classification provisions of the TDGR to align the TDGR with the requirements in the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations. These updates include the revision of the classification criteria for the selection of packing groups for viscous flammable liquids; clarification of classification criteria for polymerizing substances under Class 4.1, Flammable Solids; new provisions to assist in the classification of radiation detectors; and new requirements for the transport of certain chemically unstable substances (i.e. Class 2 [Gases], Class 3, Division 6.1 and Class 8). An option would also be made available to conduct an alternative test that is less subjective, less toxic and non-carcinogenic, for assigning packing groups to Class 5.1, Oxidizing Substances. The TDGR would also be updated to reflect the addition of subsidiary Class 6.1, Toxic Substances, to the classification of UN2815, N-AMINOETHYLPIPERAZINE, UN2977, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL, URANIUM HEXAFLUORIDE, FISSILE and UN2978, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL, URANIUM HEXAFLUORIDE, non-fissile or fissile excepted, in the current edition of the UN Recommendations.

Under the proposed amendments, a new provision (special provision 167) would be added to clarify that dangerous goods in an instrument or in equipment would have to be transported under UN3363. Although they would be transported under UN3363 instead of the UN number of the dangerous good contained in the instrument or equipment, they would continue to be granted the exemptions from requirements for shipping documents, dangerous goods safety marks and means of containment that are currently provided in the TDGR when they are contained in small quantities.

New marine pollutants

The proposed amendments would update the marine pollutants list in Schedule 3 by adding 62 new entries and removing 5 entries to reflect the changes found in the IMDG Code 2014. These changes are based on the Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Pollution (GESAMP) criteria for marine pollutants.

Standard for infectious substances

The current edition of the National Standard of Canada CAN/CGSB-43.125 Packaging of Category A and Category B infectious substances (Class 6.2) and clinical (bio) medical or regulated medical waste would be referenced in the TDGR. The revised standard includes new names for the different packaging types, packaging requirements aligned with the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations and testing relaxations for road transport. It also adds provisions for performance requirements for means of containment and technical requirements related to the transport of (bio) medical waste that are in the current TDGR. The proposed amendments would remove these duplicate provisions from the TDGR and would update references to the various packaging names to reflect the new names used in the revised standard. A new provision (special provision 164) would be introduced under the proposed amendments to allow the use of certain dangerous goods necessary for maintaining the viability of, stabilizing or preventing degradation or neutralizing hazards of infectious substances. A new provision (special provision 165) would also be added to allow the dangerous good mark for UN3373, BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE, CATEGORY B, to be displayed on an empty container as the mark also serves as a certification safety mark under the new standard.

Standard for intermediate bulk containers

The current edition of the National Standard of Canada CAN/CGSB-43.146, Design, manufacture and use of intermediate bulk containers for the transportation of dangerous goods, Classes 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 8 and 9, would be referenced in the TDGR. The revised standard includes a modified definition of intermediate bulk container (IBC) in which the maximum capacity of an IBC (set to 3 000 L) has been removed so that mobile IBCs designed to contain flammable liquids, Class 3, PG III with capacities up to 5 000 L would be captured. It permits the use of recycled plastic in the fabrication of both rigid and composite IBCs and sets a maximum period of use of 60 months past the manufacturing date for all rigid plastic IBCs and plastic inner receptacles of composite IBCs. The previous edition allowed up to 120 months for IBCs with a capacity of 450 L or less and for IBCs used to transport Class 9 liquid dangerous goods. It now addresses the “cross bottling” remanufacturing process by introducing new registration and certification mark requirements and setting requirements for quality management systems of manufacturing facilities that assemble the cages and the inner receptacles of IBCs. The revised standard allows mobile IBCs with bottom openings as long as they remain protected by additional construction requirements such as the opening being inside the footprint of the IBC or protected on all sides. The standard now requires that periodic leak tests be conducted for all IBCs when previously they were only required for non-mobile IBCs with capacities over 450 L. Lightweight IBCs need to be tested before each use, which is an increase from the previous requirement of every 30 months.

Dangerous goods safety marks

The proposed amendments would introduce the new placard and label for Class 9, Lithium Batteries, and the lithium battery mark found in the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations. The new lithium battery mark would be required to be displayed on the means of containment for lithium cells and batteries that are handled, offered for transport or transported on a road vehicle, a railway vehicle or a ship on a domestic voyage under the exemption for lithium batteries (special provision 34). The lithium battery mark would replace the marking requirements under the current exemption. The current marking requirements would continue to be allowed to be displayed until December 31, 2018, at which time use of the new placard and label for Class 9, Lithium Batteries, and the lithium battery mark would be mandatory (special provision 159). New provisions to explain and clarify these requirements would be added to the TDGR.

The proposed amendments would introduce the recently modified fumigation sign that is required under the IMDG Code to be displayed on large means of containment that have been fumigated with dangerous goods.

In addition, two changes would be made to the requirements with respect to the overpack safety mark for small means of containment to reflect the current UN Recommendations. A minimum letter size of 12 mm would be required for the word “OVERPACK” or “SUREMBALLAGE” on at least one side of the overpack and it would no longer be necessary to have the word “OVERPACK” or “SUREMBALLAGE” marked on the overpack if the safety mark on the small means of containment is visible through it.

New definitions

New definitions that align with definitions in the UN Recommendations, the IMDG Code and the ICAO Technical Instructions would be added for adsorbed gas, neutron radiation detector and radiation detection system. Definitions for certain types of means of containment used to transport infectious substances and medical waste would be repealed and replaced with those used in the revised standard CAN/CGSB-43.125. The definition for aerosol container would be replaced with one that aligns with the definition used in the UN Recommendations.

Ambulatory references

This amendment proposes to incorporate ambulatory references to the latest editions of the various international transportation regulations and standards: the UN Recommendations, the IMDG Code, the ICAO Technical Instructions and the Supplement to the ICAO Technical Instructions, the 49 CFR, as well as the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. Ambulatory references would also be used for the following technical standards:

Dangerous goods occurrence report (ICAO)

ICAO reporting requirements for dangerous goods occurrences would be adopted under the proposed amendments. A person would be required to submit a written report to Transport Canada if dangerous goods are discovered to have been carried without being loaded, segregated or secured in accordance with the storage and loading requirements in the ICAO Technical Instructions or if dangerous goods are discovered to have been carried without the pilot-in-command having been informed. The following information would be required to be submitted in the report:

Amendments to implement Regulatory Cooperation Council initiatives
Pressure receptacles

Under the proposed amendments, pressure receptacles (cylinders, tubes and spheres) that meet U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications would be allowed to be filled with gases such as propane and used in Canada regardless of the date of manufacture. Under the current TDGR, cylinders manufactured after 1992 can only be filled and used in Canada if they conform to Canadian specifications. The proposal would require that requalification, repair, rebuilding or treatment of Canadian or U.S. specification receptacles be conducted in accordance with Canadian specifications when done in Canada, with U.S. specifications when done in the United States and with either U.S. or Canadian specifications when done outside of Canada or the United States. The receptacle would need to be marked in accordance with the specification used. The proposed amendments would also allow aerosol containers that meet U.S. specifications to be transported in Canada regardless of the country in which they were manufactured or filled. Canadian requirements currently state that U.S. aerosol containers must be manufactured and filled in the United States in order to be allowed in Canada.

Approval reciprocity

The proposed amendments would allow dangerous goods to be transported into or through Canada by road or rail under special permits issued in the United States under the 49 CFR if the special permit number is on the shipping document. Requirements for documentation would still have to be met, and certain dangerous goods, such as those forbidden for transport under the TDGR or those that are not regulated under the 49 CFR, could not be transported under this provision. The special permit would only be accepted up to the first destination in Canada. Any reshipping activities, such as distribution, would need to comply with the TDGR or would require an equivalency certificate issued under the TDGR. Refused shipments of dangerous goods being returned to the United States or means of containment containing residues would not require an equivalency certificate.

One-time movement approvals

Under the proposed amendments, a one-time movement approval (OTMA) issued in the United States could be used in Canada to move a means of containment coming from the United States by rail to a location in Canada or through Canada to be cleaned, inspected, tested, repaired, dismantled or unloaded. The destination would have to be specified in the OTMA. Currently, a temporary certificate is required for this activity in Canada even if an OTMA has been issued for it in the United States. This would apply in a situation where, after a train derailment in the United States, a damaged tank car needs to be moved to a facility in Canada for repair but would not be authorized for transport under either the TDGR or the 49 CFR since a damaged tank car that contains dangerous goods (i.e. has not been cleaned and purged) would be out of compliance. An OTMA would be required to transport the tank car within the United States to the Canadian border. That same OTMA could then be used to transport the tank car to its final destination in Canada for repair.

Hot air balloon cylinder exemption

The proposed amendments would allow hot air balloon cylinders containing propane to be transported by road, rail or ship and allow variations to TDGR filling requirements for those cylinders, under certain conditions. A filling limit of up to 85% would be allowed, which is higher than the filling limit established for those cylinders in Canadian standards.

The following conditions for the use of the exemption are proposed. The cylinder would have to be used solely in a hot air balloon and be marked in the prescribed manner. The hot air balloon would need to have an approved flight authority as defined in the Canadian Aviation Regulations. The cylinder would have to be designed, constructed, filled, closed, secured and maintained so that under normal conditions of transport there would be no release of the dangerous goods that could endanger public safety. The cylinder would also have to pass a proof pressure test and an internal and external visual inspection every 10 years. It is proposed that a cylinder that must be requalified on or before January 1, 2018, may be requalified within a 12-month grace period that starts on the day on which the proposed amendments come into force.

The exemption would require that new cylinders manufactured after the proposed amendments come into force be manufactured in accordance with Canadian standards or with U.S. specifications for cylinders set out in the 49 CFR, or in accordance with the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) and marked in accordance with the Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive (TPED). Cylinders that were manufactured prior to the proposed amendments coming into force could continue to be used as long as they meet the other conditions in the exemption.

The proposed exemption would also apply to cylinders that are manufactured and requalified in a foreign country as allowed under Canadian recertification requirements. This exemption would enable foreign cylinders to be transported in Canada for use in hot air balloon festivals.

Other changes to harmonize the TDGR with the UN Recommendations

Other changes that are being proposed to align the TDGR with the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations include the addition of new exemptions (special provisions 163 and 160 respectively) for the transport of safety matches and celluloid table tennis balls. Safety matches and wax matches would be exempt from most requirements of the TDGR as long as they are transported in an outer packaging with a total weight of 25 kg or less. Celluloid table tennis balls would be exempt from most requirements of the TDGR if the mass of each ball is less than or equal to 3 g and the total mass per package does not exceed 500 g. A new provision (special provision 158) would also be added for anhydrous ammonia adsorbed or absorbed on a solid that specifies conditions to be met when it is contained in a pressure receptacle in an ammonia dispensing system.

Administrative amendments

In addition, typographical corrections and minor miscellaneous changes would be made to improve clarity and readability of the TDGR. The proposed changes are as follows:

“One-for-One” Rule

Transport Canada has considered the potential impacts of this regulatory proposal on administrative burden for businesses, and has determined that the “One-for-One” Rule would apply. While some aspects of this proposal would decrease administrative burden, other aspects would increase it. Overall, the proposed amendments would constitute an “IN” as the net administrative burden costs are higher than the reductions.

A cost-benefit analysis has been conducted to assess the impact of the amendment on stakeholders where a 10-year (2017–2026) time period and a 7% discount rate was used.

Dangerous goods occurrences reports

Under the proposed amendments, a report to Transport Canada by the air operator would be required if dangerous goods are discovered to have been carried when not loaded, segregated, separated or secured in accordance with the storage and loading requirements in the ICAO Technical Instructions or if dangerous goods are discovered to have been carried without the required information having been provided to the pilot-in-command. It is estimated that approximately 60 dangerous goods occurrence reports would be required to be submitted per year under the proposed amendments. Although this would be a new requirement, Transport Canada already receives approximately 30 dangerous goods occurrence reports voluntarily each year from various air operators as it is a requirement in the ICAO Technical Instructions. This means that a 100% increase in dangerous goods occurrence reports is expected in the first year after this requirement would come into effect.

It is estimated that it would require one day, approximately 7.5 hours, to collect the data and information required in order to complete the report. Based on an average hourly wage of $29.80, including 25% overhead costs, the present value of the total relevant costs is estimated at $47,039 over the 10-year period, resulting in an annualized value of approximately $6,705.

Hot air balloon exemption

The introduction of an exemption for hot air balloon propane cylinders would reduce the administrative burden associated with the need to apply for equivalency certificates under the TDGR in order to transport them. Transport Canada receives approximately 10 requests for equivalency certificates every two years. These certificates are required to be renewed every two years and take approximately three hours to complete. The present value of the total relevant costs is estimated at $3,033 over the 10-year period, with an annualized value of $432. This would be an “OUT” as it would no longer be required with the introduction of this exemption.

Pressure receptacles

Recognition of pressure receptacles that meet U.S. specifications would remove the need for manufacturers to obtain approvals for the receptacles in both Canada and the United States if they are to be used in both countries. Applying for these approvals (called “registering” in Canada) is an administrative burden for manufacturers. It is estimated that the proposed amendments would eliminate the need for approximately two applications for registration of new pressure receptacles during the 10-year time frame.

Application for renewal of registration of pressure receptacles is required every five years. Transport Canada receives an average of two design submissions for renewal per year. Therefore, it is estimated that approximately two fewer applications for re-registration would be required every year under this proposal. The present value of the total relevant costs is estimated at $1,256 over the 10-year period, with an annualized value of $179. This would be an “OUT” as it would no longer be required with the proposed amendments.

Approvals

The recognition of U.S. special permits would reduce the number of equivalency certificates required to be obtained under the TDGR. Transport Canada receives approximately five applications for equivalency certificates to transport dangerous goods by road or rail per year. It is expected that this number would be reduced by approximately five under the proposed amendments. It is estimated that it takes approximately three hours to complete the applications. The present value of the estimated cost is $3,140 with an annualized value of $447. This would represent an “OUT,” as the burden of having to apply for these certificates would be removed under the proposed amendments.

Therefore, the present value of the net “IN” of this amendment would be $39,664 over the 10-year period, resulting in an annualized value of $5,647.

The annualized value of the total administrative burden imposed by the regulations on businesses is $4,026 (note that the figure stated in the “One-for-One” Rule is measured in 2012 dollars, with a present value base year of 2012, as required by the Red Tape Reduction Act, and thus is different from the value of $5,647). As this is a regulatory amendment, only Element A of the “One-for-One” Rule (the dollar value of the change in administrative burden) would apply, which requires an equivalent reduction in administrative burden costs.

Small business lens

This amendment does not fall within the area of applicability of the small business lens as the total annualized costs are under $1 million. Overall, the proposed amendments are expected to have a low impact on the industry, imposing a cost of $5,647 annually.

Consultation

Canada and the United States held joint meetings with stakeholders in 2012 to share RCC objectives and obtain feedback. Meetings were also held with stakeholders in 2014 to consult on the RCC and to develop the 2015 RCC Work Plan. Stakeholders consulted on the transportation of dangerous goods initiatives under the RCC included representatives from industry as well as standard development bodies, from both sides of the border. They have supported the proposal for mutual recognition of approvals between the two countries.

The proposed amendment was presented to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) General Policy Advisory Council and the Multi-Association Committee on TDG stakeholders during the semi-annual meetings held in fall 2015. A Web consultation was initiated on February 2, 2016, followed by a 26-day comment period.

Twenty comments were received during the consultation period from various stakeholders, including provincial governments, industry associations, training companies, hot air balloon companies and associations, propane distributors, chemical manufacturers, air transport companies and associations, and the general public.

Stakeholders were supportive of the proposal to include ambulatory references in the TDGR if appropriate transitional periods could be provided to allow regulatees time to amend design and standard operating procedures should they be needed in order to comply with the updated requirements in the documents. In response, Transport Canada is proposing to follow the same transitional timelines as are in the international modal regulations. The IMDG Code includes a one-year transition period in which regulatees may either continue to meet the requirements in the previous version or comply with the new requirements until the date on which the new requirements become mandatory. For example, the 2014 edition of the IMDG Code was permitted to be applied voluntarily from January 2015 until it came into force on January 1, 2016. Through the ambulatory reference, this transition period would be applicable under the TDGR. As the ICAO Technical Instructions come into force right away there would be no transition period for their application. However, as this is the current situation for international transport, stakeholders are not expected to be significantly impacted by the immediate coming into force of the ICAO requirements. Industry associations representing air operators are aware of upcoming changes to the ICAO Technical Instructions prior to publication of a new edition as they are involved in discussions with the Dangerous Goods Panel. Also, training related to the ICAO Technical Instructions is required under both the TDGR and the ICAO Technical Instructions every two years and often coincides with publication of the latest edition; thus, regulatees are kept aware of the current air requirements.

Comments received from several stakeholders revealed a need to clarify the difference between the lithium battery label required on small means of containment that are regulated under the TDGR and the lithium battery mark that would be required on a means of containment for lithium batteries being transported under the lithium battery exemption (special provision 34). References to the two distinct safety marks have been included in the proposed amendment to clarify the requirements.

Stakeholders were supportive of the proposal to introduce a new requirement for reporting dangerous goods occurrences by air. The proposed amendment responds to previous requests from air operators to make the report, which is a requirement in the ICAO Technical Instructions, a regulatory requirement under the TDGR. It was suggested that the report should be submitted via email, using a specified form, rather than by communicating the information via telephone to CANUTEC. The reason is that the reporting needs for a situation involving a dangerous goods occurrence differ from those involving an accident or incident. Accidents or incidents usually require an immediate response whereas occurrences are typically discovered after the event has taken place, when dangerous goods are no longer in transportation. Transport Canada thus agrees that the dangerous goods occurrence report under the proposed amendment would be required to be made by email.

Hot air balloonists and hot air balloon associations were supportive of the proposed hot air balloon exemption. One stakeholder was concerned that there may be a limited number of facilities registered with Transport Canada that could conduct proof pressure testing and visual internal inspections. There are 48 facilities across Canada that are registered to conduct the proof pressure test. As the test would only be required to be conducted every 10 years, Transport Canada feels that access to these facilities should not pose a significant challenge for balloonists to have their cylinders requalified. It is expected that facilities registered to perform proof pressure testing have the capability to perform visual internal inspections as well. Transport Canada is proposing to allow one additional year to meet the requirement for cylinders for which the requalification date will occur in the first year after the proposed amendment would come into effect.

During the public comment period for the revision of standard CAN/CGSB-43.146, some representatives of the agriculture industry expressed concern regarding the reduction of the life span of rigid plastic IBCs from 10 years to 5 years. While the change would result in increased costs to industry, the option of applying for an equivalency certificate under the TDGR is a possibility if an equivalent level of safety could be demonstrated.

Rationale

The TDGR require updating to reflect recent changes made by the international community to the IMDG Code, the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations and the ICAO Technical Instructions. The proposed amendments would have a positive impact on national and international trade since harmonization of the TDGR with the UN Recommendations and other international regulations would reduce confusion and make the process of importing and exporting dangerous goods more efficient and less time consuming for consignors and carriers.

New UN numbers, shipping names and related provisions

The addition of the new UN numbers and shipping names would create a classification system that is harmonized with the 19th edition of the UN Model Recommendations and would allow dangerous goods to be shipped under appropriate shipping names which will lead to better hazard communication and increase efficiency of emergency response during incidents by helping emergency personnel make more informed decisions. Alignment of provisions with those in the current version of the UN Recommendations would provide clarity and consistency for regulatees.

Related to the new UN numbers and shipping names for dangerous goods contained in engines and vehicles, a new provision would increase the quantity limit for gasoline contained in engines, machinery and equipment that are eligible for exemptions to 450 L from the current limit of 200 L to align the quantity limit with that for diesel, which has similar properties, and to respond to requests from stakeholders to reconsider the current limit.

Marine pollutants

Harmonizing the list of marine pollutants in Schedule 3 of the TDGR with the list in the IMDG Code would facilitate consistent communication of the presence of marine pollutants in a shipment and would ensure safe and efficient transportation. This harmonization would decrease compliance costs for consignors as it removes the burden associated with testing chemicals as marine pollutants.

Classification updates

Updating the classification provisions of the TDGR and aligning them with the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations would assist consignors during the classification of dangerous goods before they offer them for transport by bringing further clarification to the requirements. Allowing an alternative option for conducting the test for assigning packing groups to Class 5.1, Oxidizing Substances, would enable consignors to conduct a test that uses a less toxic, non-carcinogenic substance and is less subjective than the current test which relies on visual determination of burning rates.

Dangerous goods safety marks

Several changes to the TDGR are being proposed to enable emergency responders to recognize danger more quickly and to better plan emergency response. The proposed changes to the overpack marking requirements would ensure that the safety marks are visible, which would help ensure that the dangerous goods are handled according to their classification and could potentially reduce incidents with impacts on the environment and safety. Revisions to the size specifications with respect to the overpack marking would align the TDGR with new UN Recommendations. Introduction of the new placard and label for Class 9, Lithium Batteries, and the lithium battery mark would be consistent with the new safety mark requirements adopted internationally under the UN Recommendations.

Standard for infectious substances

Technical requirements pertaining to the selection of means of containment and performance requirements for means of containment that are used in the transport of (bio) medical waste are more appropriately located in the revised standard CAN/CGSB-43.125. The addition of these requirements to the standard allows for their removal from the TDGR.

A provision to allow certain dangerous goods, such as ethanol or acetic acid, to be transported with infectious substances is needed in the TDGR as these dangerous goods are necessary for maintaining the viability, stabilizing or preventing degradation or neutralizing hazards of the infectious substances. This provision aligns the TDGR with the revised standard CAN/CGSB-43.125 and packing instructions in the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations.

A dangerous goods safety mark on an empty container is considered to be misleading and is not allowed under the TDGR. However, since the UN3373 diamond shape marking is a hybrid marking which serves as both a safety mark in the TDGR and a certification safety mark in the new edition of standard CAN/CGSB-43.125, Transport Canada proposes to allow the non-removable UN3373 mark to be displayed on an empty container so that it would not be considered non-compliant under the TDGR. The UN3373 hybrid marking comes from the UN Recommendations and has been adopted in both 49 CFR and the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). If Canada does not adopt this certification safety mark, it could affect cross-border shipments with the United States.

Standard for intermediate bulk containers

The maximum period of use for rigid plastic IBCs and plastic inner receptacles of composite IBCs with a capacity less than or equal to 450 L, or for IBCs used to transport Class 9 liquid dangerous goods was decreased from 10 years to 5 years to meet the requirements of the current UN Recommendations. The standard was modified to allow mobile IBCs with bottom openings, as the use of mobile IBCs has changed significantly since the publication of the 2002 edition of the standard. At that time, mobile IBCs that were on the Canadian market were mostly mid-size fuel tanks fixed to the back of pick-up trucks used for refuelling equipment. Now, mobile IBCs are used for refuelling equipment but also for equipment such as generators. As a result, the need for bottom openings has increased. Also, there is a need to have drains at the bottom of the IBC to facilitate cleaning and repairs.

Although the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations does not permit the use of recycled plastics in the fabrication of IBCs, it does allow the use of recycled plastics for small containers. Standard CAN/CGSB-43.146 allows recycled plastics to be used in the fabrication of IBCs under certain conditions such as having a quality management system where the specific properties of recycled plastic material used for the production of new IBCs is verified and documented regularly. Allowing the use of recycled plastics benefits manufacturers by providing them with the option and making them more competitive on the international market. This change responds to requests made by some stakeholders during consultation on the standard.

A cross-bottled IBC is a remanufactured IBC in which an inner receptacle from one manufacturer is placed into an outer cage produced by another manufacturer. The standard introduces requirements with respect to this process to provide clarity for regulatees, which was lacking in the previous edition.

The requirement to conduct leak tests for all IBCs was added to align the TDGR with current UN Recommendations. This test is important for mobile IBCs as visual internal inspections alone usually provide very limited results. The introduction of a requirement to conduct a leak test and inspection of lightweight IBCs before each use is more stringent than the UN Recommendations, which require it every 30 months. However, Transport Canada feels that based on their construction, these IBCs should be treated similarly to drums, which need to be reconditioned between each use under the TDGR.

Dangerous goods occurrences

Adopting ICAO reporting requirements for dangerous goods occurrences would allow Transport Canada to monitor compliance in order to target compliance promotion and enforcement action to enhance the safety of air transport. Some air operators have been requesting that these reporting requirements be added to the TDGR.

Amendments to implement RCC initiatives

The proposed amendments would reduce the regulatory barriers to trade with the United States through recognition of U.S. pressure receptacle specifications, special permits for the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail and one-time movement approvals for the transport of dangerous goods by rail. The result would be reduced costs related to applying for approvals, product testing and export certification, which would ultimately make North America more competitive on the world stage with respect to the movement of gases, in particular propane, across the borders while enhancing the safety, efficiency and reliability of the transportation system.

Recognition of pressure receptacles that meet U.S. specifications would benefit manufacturers, as they would no longer be required to obtain dual approvals and put both Canadian and American specification marks on containers that are destined for use in both countries. There are currently two manufacturers of pressure receptacles in Canada. It is expected that one of them would use the proposed new provision to meet U.S. specifications instead of Canadian ones. As a result they would save the cost of conducting the tests required to register the receptacle in Canada and associated administrative costs of applying for a Canadian approval. End-users of pressure receptacles, such as companies that supply gases to hospitals, laboratories, industries and the average Canadian, would benefit, as they would no longer need to requalify the receptacles to meet both U.S. and Canadian specification requirements. The proposed amendments would make it easier to comply with requirements and would increase competitiveness.

The proposed amendments would enable Canada to fulfill commitments under the Memorandum of Cooperation between the U.S. Department of Transportation and Transport Canada, signed in August 2012, and commitments made in the RCC work plan announced in 2014. They would support the message from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during his visit with President Barack Obama on March 10, 2016, when the two leaders announced their intention to enhance regulatory cooperation efforts between the two countries.

Ambulatory references

The introduction of ambulatory references in the TDGR would require Canadian consignors and carriers to use the most recent versions of the various international transportation regulations and standards, which would increase efficiency and eliminate the burden associated with being in compliance with both current international and outdated domestic regulations. Amending the TDGR takes, at a minimum, 12 to 18 months. By incorporating ambulatory references into the TDGR, any changes to those referenced documents would automatically become part of the TDGR and thus this delay would be eliminated. The use of ambulatory references would benefit stakeholders and Government as it would save time and money related to compliance promotion and awareness. Currently, the Government has to answer many questions from stakeholders to explain differences in requirements, in particular with respect to classification and safety marks, due to the lack of harmonization between the Canadian TDGR and international regulations.

Hot air balloon exemption

The introduction of an exemption for hot air balloon propane cylinders would eliminate the burden associated with the need to apply for equivalency certificates under the TDGR in order to transport them by road, rail or ship.

Variations from the standard filling requirements would be allowed so that the cylinders could be filled in accordance with the instructions for continued airworthiness issued by the manufacturers of the hot air balloons. These manuals provide maintenance instructions that must be followed in order to meet certification requirements under the Canadian Aviation Regulations.

The proposal would allow new hot air balloon cylinders to be manufactured in accordance with the specifications in the ADR for hot air balloon propane cylinders, in particular. This proposal also reflects the understanding that the majority of hot air balloon cylinders will be imported from Europe where they are manufactured to meet the ADR. The ADR and the TPED were recently revised to contain specifications for the construction and transport of hot air balloon propane cylinders. Canadian specifications apply to cylinders in general but not to hot air balloon cylinders in particular. Transport Canada has determined that cylinders built to ADR requirements are acceptable for transport by road, rail or ship in Canada. The majority of manufacturers of these cylinders are located in Europe and are manufacturing them according to the ADR and TPED. Hot air balloon cylinders are not currently manufactured in Canada and their long lifespan results in very little demand for new ones. While most hot air balloon cylinders currently in use in Canada will not need to be replaced for many years, it is expected that cylinders purchased in Canada in the future will typically be imported from European manufacturers.

The proposal would also recognize Canadian specification cylinders as well as U.S. DOT specification cylinders, as some hot air balloon cylinders are currently built to U.S. DOT specifications. These specifications are also acceptable for the construction and transport of hot air balloon cylinders. Recognizing hot air balloon cylinders that meet the requirements of the U.S. specifications or the ADR would improve international harmonization and reduce burden for hot air balloonists.

The ADR requires a phased withdrawal of older cylinders in Europe; however, such an approach is unfavourable in Canada because there are only 490 balloons operating domestically, many as hobby balloons, and withdrawal would have a significant impact on the industry as the cost of the currently used stainless steel cylinders is approximately $5,000. Under the proposed amendments, hot air balloon cylinders manufactured before the coming- into-force date would continue to be allowed under certain conditions. Requirements regarding use and periodic requalification of the cylinders would ensure safety for continued use of the cylinders.

Other changes to harmonize the TDGR with the UN Recommendations

An exemption for the transport of celluloid table tennis balls would be introduced to align the TDGR with the exemption in the 19th edition of the UN Recommendations. The UN Recommendations provide the exemption since although table tennis balls can meet the classification criteria for Class 4.2 (Substances Liable to Spontaneous Combustion) if tested right after they are manufactured, the leaking solvent that causes them to meet the criteria dissipates quickly and they no longer meet the classification criteria to be considered as dangerous goods if they are tested a short time later.

The exemption for the transport of safety matches and the new special provision for anhydrous ammonia adsorbed or absorbed on a solid would also be introduced to align the TDGR with the UN Recommendations.

Costs

Consignors and carriers would incur costs associated with meeting the new requirements for dangerous goods safety marks. The costs of the requirements to use the new placard or label for Class 9, Lithium Batteries, and the new lithium battery mark or the new fumigation sign are expected to be minimal. Shippers are currently required to affix similar safety marks, which cost the same (approximately $2 per placard), and a transitional period would be granted so that existing stock could be liquidated by the time new safety marks would be required. Also, fumigation signs are available in a rewritable material so they can be reused for subsequent shipments.

The introduction of the 60-month maximum period of use for rigid plastic IBCs and plastic inner receptacles of composite IBCs would increase the cost for owners and users of these IBCs as they are currently allowed to use them for up to 10 years. As this timeline is a requirement in the current UN Recommendations, owners and users who transport them internationally would already be meeting this requirement so the costs for them would be lower. The new requirement to conduct a leak test for each lightweight IBC before use would increase costs for owners and users; however, Transport Canada has not received any negative feedback from industry with respect to this change.

The requirement to provide a written report to Transport Canada for a dangerous goods occurrence on board an aircraft would result in a cost for air operators. This cost would be related to the time required to gather the required information and to write the report. While the requirement to report a dangerous goods occurrence under the TDGR would be new, many operators already make the report voluntarily to Transport Canada, as it is a requirement in the ICAO Technical Instructions; thus, the increase in cost is not expected to be high.

There would be an initial cost associated with training and educating consignors on the filling and requalification procedures related to the recognition of U.S. pressure cylinders and approvals issued in the United States. Over time, the cost of doing business would decrease and there would be economic benefits in both countries' business and trade.

There would be a slight increase in cost to consignors who domestically transport any of the 62 dangerous goods that would be added to the list of marine pollutants in the TDGR as a result of the proposed amendments, as they would be required to display the marine pollutant safety mark on the means of containment. The addition of these new marine pollutants to the TDGR would not increase compliance costs for consignors that transport marine pollutants internationally, as they are already required to include the marine pollutant safety marks under the IMDG Code.

There would be minor costs associated with the new requirement to conduct the proof pressure test and the visual internal inspection of hot air balloon cylinders. It is estimated that the additional cost of these requirements would be approximately $30 to $50 and would be required every 10 years.

Implementation, enforcement and service standards

The proper implementation of regulatory amendments is a key aspect of the regulatory life cycle. Once regulatory amendments become law, the TDG Directorate develops new training and awareness material for inspectors and stakeholders. New regulatory requirements are disseminated using a communication network that is already well established. Some of the main tools used to implement regulatory changes are

Compliance with the TDG Act and the TDGR is verified through inspections. These inspections are carried out at both the federal level and the provincial level and involve all modes of transport and all consignors of dangerous goods. The implementation objective is to update and enhance inspector training tools to ensure that oversight is undertaken by properly trained staff. The proposed amendments are anticipated to have a neutral effect on TDG inspectors. Information would be provided to them to keep them updated and aware of the new requirements.
