On June 20, 2009, the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health released a Notice in the Canada Gazette for the tenth group of substances identified under the Challenge, entitled: Notice of tenth release of technical information relevant to substances identified in the Challenge. Industry and interested stakeholders are invited to submit any information that may be used to inform risk assessment and to develop and benchmark best practices for risk management and product stewardship.
For each substance in Batch 10, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the following:

1 This substance did not meet the categorization criteria specified under section 73 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, but was determined to be a priority for assessment from a health perspective. 2 Although CAS No. 10393-49-4 is not included in the Challenge, for the purpose of substance identification, two CAS No for cobalt sulfate are included in the mandatory Section 71 Notice (see below). CAS No. 10124-43-3 is used for cobalt (II) sulfate, with a 1:1 cobalt-to-sulfate ratio, and CAS No. 10393-49-4 is used where the specific cobalt ion was not identified, or the ratio between the acid and cobalt is unknown. |

The following Notice, issued under section 71 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, entitled: Notice with respect to Batch 10 Challenge substances applies to the 12 substances in the tenth group identified under the Challenge. An additional CAS No. for Cobalt sulfate (CAS No. 10393-49-4) has been added to this notice for substance identification purposes.
Every person to whom the Notice applies must comply with the Notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. EDT, October 20, 2009. Please note that under subsection 71(4) of the Act extensions for a maximum of two months may be granted in some cases on written request. To apply for an extension, a written request and justification must be received by the Minister of the Environment prior to the deadline.
In addition, Industry and interested stakeholders are also invited to submit, within six months (on or before December 17, 2009), further information regarding the scientific properties of these substances, or best management practices associated with the use of these substances that might contribute to improved decision-making. Information on the type of information that could be submitted, and logistics for submitting information is detailed in the Challenge Questionnaire and related Guidance Document below.
