ANNEX

Summary of the draft screening assessment of calcium 2-ethylhexanoate and 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate

Pursuant to sections 68 and 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of calcium 2-ethylhexanoate and 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate. These substances were identified as priorities for assessment as they met categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA or were considered a priority based on other human health concerns. The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers (CAS RN, their Domestic Substances List (DSL) names and their common names are listed in the table below.

Substances in this assessment
CAS RN DSL name Common name

136-51-6

Hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, calcium salt

Calcium 2-ethylhexanoate

7425-14-1 (see footnote a)

Hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, 2-ethylhexyl ester

2-Ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate

In 2011, there were no reports of manufacture of calcium 2-ethylhexanoate above the reporting threshold of 100 kg, but between 10 000 and 100 000 kg of calcium 2-ethylhexanoate were imported into Canada. There were no reports of manufacture or import for 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate above the reporting threshold of 100 kg for the same year. Calcium 2-ethylhexanoate is used predominantly as an additive in interior and exterior paints. It is also reported to be used in the manufacture of food packaging materials. 2-Ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate is an ingredient in cosmetics.

The ecological risk of calcium 2-ethylhexanoate and 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate was characterized using the ecological risk classification of organic substances (ERC). The ERC is a risk-based approach that employs multiple metrics for both hazard and exposure based on weighted consideration of multiple lines of evidence for determining risk classification. Hazard profiles are established based principally on metrics regarding mode of toxic action, chemical reactivity, food web-derived internal toxicity thresholds, bioavailability, and chemical and biological activity. Metrics considered in the exposure profiles include potential emission rate, overall persistence, and long-range transport potential. A risk matrix is then used to assign a low, moderate or high level of potential concern for substances based on their hazard and exposure profiles. The ERC identified calcium 2-ethylhexanoate and 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate as having low potential to cause ecological harm.

Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this draft screening assessment, there is low risk of harm to organisms and the broader integrity of the environment from calcium 2-ethylhexanoate and 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate. It is proposed to conclude that calcium 2-ethylhexanoate and 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate do not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(a) or (b) of CEPA, as they are not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends.

In Canada, calcium 2-ethylhexanoate may be present in certain food packaging materials. 2-Ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate was reported as a volatile component in certain food samples collected outside of Canada. However, exposure of the general population to calcium 2-ethylhexanoate and 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate from food is expected to be negligible.

Dermal exposure to calcium 2-ethylhexanoate may occur from the use of interior and exterior household paints, and to 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate from the use of certain cosmetics, namely foot lotion and face makeup. Substance-specific health effects data for the relevant routes and durations of exposure were not identified. However, 2-ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA) was selected as an analogue for the characterization of potential health effects of both substances. Laboratory studies conducted on exposure via the oral route identified liver and developmental effects. Margins of exposure between critical effect levels in laboratory studies and estimates of dermal exposure to calcium 2-ethylhexanoate were considered adequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases. Margins of exposure between critical effect levels in laboratory studies and estimates of dermal exposure to 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate were considered potentially inadequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases.

Based on available information, it is proposed to conclude that calcium 2-ethylhexanoate does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA, as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.

Based on available information, it is proposed to conclude that 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate meets the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA as it is entering or may enter the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.

Proposed conclusion

It is proposed to conclude that calcium 2-ethylhexanoate does not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA.

It is proposed to conclude that 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate meets one or more of the criteria set out in section 64 in CEPA.

Consideration for follow-up

While exposure of the general population to calcium 2-ethylhexanoate is not of concern at current levels, this substance is considered to have a health effect of concern based on its potential developmental toxicity. Therefore, there may be a concern for human health if exposure were to increase. Follow-up activities to track changes in exposure and/or commercial use patterns are under consideration.

Stakeholders are encouraged to provide, during the 60-day public comment period on the draft screening assessment, any information pertaining to the substance that may help inform the choice of follow-up activity. This could include information on new or planned import, manufacture or use of the substance, or information not previously submitted to the ministers.

The draft screening assessment for these two substances and the risk management scope document for 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexanoate are available on the Government of Canada's Chemical Substances website (www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca).

AERONAUTICS ACT

Notice of intent to amend the Canadian Aviation Regulations

Further to the notice of intent published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on August 8, 2015, notice is hereby given that Transport Canada is progressing with the initiative of amending the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) to address flight crew fatigue management and is communicating to Canadians and interested stakeholders its most current policy direction with respect to this very important initiative.

The information provided hereinafter with this notice of intent is only a representation of Transport Canada's policy direction and is in no way to be interpreted as proposed regulations, for which there will be formal consultations once they are prepublished in the Canada Gazette, Part I, later in 2017.

The proposed amendments to the CARs will comprise the following elements:

The proposed implementation period for Subpart 705 air operators will be 12 months from the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II, and for Subparts 703 and 704 air operators, 48 months from the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II.

Consultation

Transport Canada (TC) first engaged industry stakeholders on the issue of flight crew fatigue management in 2010 by creating a working group in response to the internationally recognized issue of flight crew fatigue and the introduction of requirements under International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards in 2009. The Flight Crew Fatigue Management Working Group included pilots and representatives of industry associations. The Working Group met for approximately 43 days over 18 months, and published a final report in August 2012 titled Report of the Canadian Aviation Regulation Advisory Council Flight Crew Fatigue Management Working Group. Following the publication of the Working Group Report, a TC Technical Committee meeting was held in 2012 in which TC employees and industry members participated. As a result of the recommendations of the Working Group Report and the Technical Committee, a notice of proposed amendment (NPA) was created and underwent a consultation process through the Canadian Aviation Regulation Advisory Council (CARAC). The NPA about which consultations were conducted included various proposed regulatory amendments and implementation dates for all air operators. However, based on the stakeholder feedback received on the NPA, TC decided to propose a two-phase approach to the regulatory proposal to bring Canadian regulations into alignment with scientific fatigue principles and knowledge and with international standards. Phase 1 would apply only to operators under Subpart 705 of the CARs, while Phase 2 would apply to all other operators (Subparts 604, 702, 703 and 704). A notice of intent was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, in August 2015 to communicate this approach to Canadians and industry stakeholders.

A review of all the comments received during consultations with stakeholders, including the notice of intent in August 2015, led TC to finalize its policy direction with respect to this important regulatory initiative. On June 22, 2016, TC confirmed to industry stakeholders, through the CARAC process, that the Department was proceeding with the amendment of the prescriptive limitations and the introduction of FRMS for all air transport services in Canada. It further confirmed that the proposed amendments would be introduced as one amendment for air taxi operators (Subpart 703), commuter operators (Subpart 704) and airline operators (Subpart 705) only, and that it would not apply to private operators (Subpart 604) or to aerial work operators (Subpart 702). Most recently, TC has been collaborating closely with industry representatives by involving them in the development of guidance material in support of the future regulations.

Comments

Any person, member of the public, and other interested party, may, within 30 days of the publication of this notice, provide their comments on this notice of intent, in writing, to the person named below at the address provided. Comments will be acknowledged only.

Questions and comments regarding this notice of intent may be directed to the Chief, Regulatory Affairs, Civil Aviation, Transport Canada, Safety and Security, AARBH, Place de Ville, Tower C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N5, CARRAC@tc.gc.ca.
