SCHEDULE 2
Criteria for Reporting
Persons who must report
1. (1) All persons who operate a facility that emits 100 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (100 kt CO2 eq.) or more (the "reporting threshold") of GHGs in the 2006 calendar year shall be subject to the reporting requirements set out in this notice. The reporting threshold is measured as the sum total mass of each of the gases or gas species in Table 1 of Schedule 1, multiplied by their respective Global Warming Potentials (GWPs), as set out in Table 2 of Schedule 1.
(2) If the person who operates a facility as described in this Schedule changes during the 2006 calendar year, the person who operates the facility as of December 31, 2006, must report for the entire 2006 calendar year by June 1, 2007. If operations at a facility are terminated during the 2006 calendar year, the last operator of that facility is required to report for the portion of the 2006 calendar year during which the facility was in operation by June 1, 2007.
2. (1) For the purposes of determining whether a facility meets or exceeds the reporting threshold described in section 1, the following equation and explanatory notes listed in subsections (2) to (4) are to be used:
where:
E = total emissions of a particular gas or gas species from the facility in the calendar year 2006, expressed in tonnes
GWP = global warming potential of the same gas or gas species
i = each emission source
(2) A person subject to this notice must quantify emissions of individual species of HFCs and PFCs separately and then multiply the result for each individual species by the global warming potential for that species that is set out in Table 2 of Schedule 1.
(3) A person subject to this notice shall not include CO2 emissions from combustion of biomass in the determination of total emissions for the purposes of establishing whether a facility meets or exceeds the reporting threshold. However, the person shall quantify and report CO2 emissions from combustion of biomass as part of the greenhouse gas emissions information that is required under this notice, and the person must indicate those emissions separately, as set out in the Reportable Information requirements in Schedule 3.

(biomasse)
"carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 eq.)" means a unit of measure used to allow the addition of or the comparison between gases that have different global warming potentials (GWPs). Since many greenhouse gases (GHGs) exist and their GWPs vary, the emissions are added in a common unit, CO2 equivalent. To express GHG emissions in units of CO2 equivalent, the quantity of a given GHG (expressed in units of mass) is multiplied by its GWP. (équivalent en dioxyde de carbone (équivalent CO2))
"CAS Registry Number" means the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number. (numéro d'enregistrement CAS)
"CO2 emissions from biomass waste and wastewater decomposition" means CO2 emissions resulting from aerobic decomposition of biomass contained in waste or wastewater. (émissions de CO2 provenant de la décomposition de la biomasse des déchets et des eaux usées)
"contiguous facility" means all buildings, equipment, structures and stationary items that are located on a single site or on contiguous or adjacent sites and that are owned or operated by the same person and that function as a single integrated site and includes wastewater collection systems that discharge treated or untreated wastewater into surface waters.

(attestation)
"stationary fuel combustion emissions" means emissions from non-vehicular combustion sources, in which fuel is burned for the purpose of producing energy. (émissions de combustion stationnaire de combustible)
"venting emissions" means intentional releases to the atmosphere of a waste gas. These emissions consist of, but are not limited to, emissions of casing gas, emissions of a gas associated with a liquid (or solution gas), treater, stabilizer or dehydrator off-gas, blanket gas, and emissions from pneumatic devices which use natural gas as a driver, and from compressor start-ups, pipelines and other blowdowns, and metering and regulation station control loops. (émissions d'évacuation)
"waste and wastewater emissions" means emissions that result from waste disposal sources and waste or wastewater treatment that are located at a facility. The sources consist of landfilling of solid waste, flaring of landfill gas, and waste incineration; the treatment consists of treatment of wastewater effluents and of liquid waste. (émissions des déchets et des eaux usées)
EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the notice.)
In March of 2004, the Government of Canada initiated a phased approach to the mandatory collection of greenhouse gas emissions and related information. Phase 1 was launched through the publication of the first Canada Gazette notice in March 2004, which set out basic reporting requirements. This Canada Gazette notice is the third in a series of notices requiring the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. This notice is part of Canada's effort to develop, through a collaborative process with provinces and territories, a harmonized reporting system that will meet the information needs of all levels of government and provide Canadians with reliable and timely information on GHG emissions.

FOOD AND DRUGS ACT
Food and Drug Regulations — Amendment
Interim Marketing Authorization
Formulated liquid diets are foods for special dietary use that are sold or represented as nutritionally complete diets and that have been specially processed or formulated to meet the particular requirements of a person in whom a physical or physiological condition exists as a result of a disease. The Food and Drug Regulations set out nutritional requirements for formulated liquid diets. These requirements include minimum levels for 18 vitamins and mineral nutrients and, in the case of vitamins A and D, maximum levels.
Health Canada has received a submission to increase the maximum levels of vitamin D in formulated liquid diets from the current permitted level of 400 International Units (IU) per 1 000 kilocalories (kcal) to 800 IU per 1 000 kcal where the recommended intake is 2 500 kcal per day or less, and from 200 IU per 1 500 kcal to 400 IU per 1 500 kcal where the recommended intake is greater than 2 500 kcal per day.
Health Canada has completed a safety assessment of the proposal to increase the maximum amount for vitamin D in formulated liquid diets. Evaluation of the available data supports the safety of these modifications. Permitting higher levels of vitamin D in formulated liquid diets would assist persons relying on these products as their sole or major source of nutrition, in maintaining adequate vitamin D intakes. The revised upper level would also benefit manufacturers by allowing the production of a single formulation for marketing in Canada and the United States.
Therefore, Health Canada intends to recommend that the table of section B.24.102 of the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to allow a higher maximum level of vitamin D in formulated liquid diets, that is, 800 IU per 1 000 kcal for recommended intake of up to 2 500 kcal per day, and 400 IU per 1 500 kcal for recommended intake of greater than 2 500 kcal per day, including overages.
As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, an Interim Marketing Authorization (IMA) is being issued to permit the immediate sale of formulated liquid diets, with an increased maximum level of vitamin D, as indicated above, while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.

Notice No. DGRB-001-06 — Call for Applications to License Satellite Orbital Positions
This notice announces the release of a paper, under the above title, and commences a comparative licensing process to facilitate the timely development and operation of satellite space stations using specific frequency bands at several orbital positions. Interested parties are invited to submit applications to Industry Canada for utilizing these resources.
Industry Canada has received applications from several parties indicating interest in developing Canadian satellites using the orbital positions and frequency bands being offered in this process. Given this and other potential interest, and in accordance with the Policy Framework for the Provision of Fixed Satellite Services (RP-008) issued in 1998 and revised in September 2005, and the Guidelines on the Licensing Process and Spectrum Release Plan (2001 Edition) (RP-020(, Industry Canada is now issuing a Call for Applications to License Satellite Orbital Positions.
The Call for Applications invites applications for the use of various bands of fixed and broadcasting satellite spectrum at several different satellite orbital positions. The orbital positions and spectrum being made available are considered valuable resources for Canadian broadcasting and telecommunications. This satellite licensing initiative provides an opportunity for the Canadian broadcasting and satellite industry to invest in additional satellite facilities that will serve to meet Canadian broadcasting and telecommunications requirements for capacity, promote economic growth in Canada, and offer the Canadian satellite industry an opportunity to participate in the North American satellite capacity market and beyond.
Owing to the importance of these resources for Canadian broadcasting and telecommunications, Canadian satellite users will be provided an opportunity in this satellite licensing process to participate directly. Prospective applicants in this process are encouraged to consult with Canadian satellite users in the development of their satellite plans and applications. Applicants are also required, as part of their applications, to provide their plans for providing capacity to satisfy Canadian requirements. These plans will be posted on Industry Canada's Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Web site for public comment. All comments will be taken into consideration when the Department evaluates the applications received.
Submitting applications
Instructions for the submission of applications, as well as submission requirements and associated deadlines, are included in the Call for Applications.
Obtaining copies
Copies of this notice and of documents referred to are available electronically on the Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Web site at http://strategis.gc.ca/spectrum.
