The final screening assessments concluded that four substances in this batch meet one or more criteria in section 64 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999). The Government proposed to add these substances to Schedule 1 of the Act. Proposed risk management approach documents were also released on these dates for the substances in this batch which met the criteria in section 64 of CEPA 1999. Comments, and the Government's response, relating to general themes are summarized in the Summary of Overarching Public Comments Received on the Proposed Risk Management Approach Documents for Batch 3.
Draft Screening Assessment Reports and Risk Management Scopes
New information was received from industry or interested stakeholders for each of the 19 substances in this batch. In August 2008, the draft screening assessment reports were released and the related Notices were published in the Canada Gazette, Part I: Vol. 142, No. 34 - August 23, 2008 ( PDF Version - 859 K). Risk management scope documents were also released in conjunction with these publications.
