REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Description

The Pest Control Products Sales Information Reporting Regulations are administered by the Health Canada Pest Management Regulatory Agency and require registrants of pest control products to report annually on the quantity of their product sold in provinces and territories of Canada. The reported quantity of pest control products sold in Canada for the previous year will be summarized before becoming public information.

The Regulations came into effect on November 15, 2006. The Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations (SJCSR) reviewed these Regulations and made three recommendations on June 11, 2007, which are the subject of this amendment. In the French version a grammatical error was noted in paragraph 3(b); the word "a" will be removed. Also in the French version under paragraph 3(f) "la déclaration du contenu net" will read "la déclaration de quantité nette" for consistency. Lastly, Section 8 in both English and French versions will be harmonized as the English version states for the "purpose of responding" and the French version indicates that is "necessary to respond".

The purpose of the Miscellaneous Amendments Regulations Program is to streamline the regulatory process as well as to reduce costs. This amendment to the Regulations does not impose new restrictions or burdens on individuals or industry and will have little impact on Canadians.
