As announced on 1 December 2012, the agency's DSL Inventory Update (DSL IU) aims to collect basic information on the substances that are remaining priorities for assessment (approximately 2,700 substances) in order to update the information available on quantities, uses, and commercial status. The information collected from the DSL IU will inform the Rapid Screening and Polymer Approaches, priority setting for the next phase of the Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) and support any subsequent risk assessment and risk management activities, where appropriate. The type of information being collected includes: - whether the substances covered under the notice were manufactured or imported in Canada during the 2011 calendar year; - the quantities of these substances manufactured or imported during the 2011 calendar year; - the industrial sectors involved in the manufacture and import of the substances; and - the types of products, mixtures, or manufactured items containing the substances. - Persons, including companies, having recent activity with respect to any of these substances may be contacted for follow-up. Schedule 1 to the notice includes a list of approximately 2,700 substances that are remaining priorities for assessment, identified through categorization of the DSL in 2006. The Notice applies to any person who, during the 2011 calendar year, manufactured or imported a total quantity greater than 1,000 kg of a substance listed in Part 1 of Schedule 1 of the Notice, at any concentration, whether: 1. alone, in a mixture, in a product; or 2. in a manufactured item that is: - intended for use by children under 6; - intended to come into contact with the mucosa of a consumer (other than eyes); - cookware or cooking or serving utensils intended to come into direct contact with heated food (other than glass, stainless steel, or porcelain); - food packaging that is intended to come into direct contact with food(unless the component that comes into direct contact with food is glass, stainless steel, or porcelain); - a reusable food or beverage container (unless the component that comes into direct contact with food is glass, stainless steel, or porcelain); - intended to release the substance during conditions of use such that the substance may be inhaled or come into dermal contact with an individual; - clothing or footwear; - bedding, a sleeping bag, or a towel; - furniture, a mattress, a cushion, or a pillow intended to be used in a residence, where the substance is contained in foam, leather, or in a textile fiber, yarn, or fabric; or - carpet, vinyl, or laminate flooring, or a foam underlay for flooring, intended to be used in a residence. The Notice also applies to any person who, during the 2011 calendar year, manufactured or imported a total quantity greater than 100 kg of a substance listed in Part 2 of Schedule 1 of the Notice, at any concentration, whether: 1. alone, in a mixture, in a product; or 2. in a manufactured item that is: - intended for use by children under 6; - intended to come into contact with the mucosa of a consumer (other than eyes); - cookware or cooking or serving utensils intended to come into direct contact with heated food (other than glass, stainless steel, or porcelain); - food packaging that is intended to come into direct contact with food (unless the component that comes into direct contact with food is glass, stainless steel, or porcelain); - a reusable food or beverage container (unless the component that comes into direct contact with food is glass, stainless steel, or porcelain); - intended to release the substance during conditions of use such that the substance may be inhaled or come into dermal contact with an individual; - clothing or footwear; - bedding, a sleeping bag, or a towel; - furniture, a mattress, a cushion, or a pillow intended to be used in a residence, where the substance is contained in foam, leather, or in a textile fiber, yarn, or fabric; or - carpet, vinyl, or laminate flooring, or a foam underlay for flooring, intended to be used in a residence. The quantity of a substance that a person manufactured or imported should be determined based on the quantity of the substance itself, and not on the quantity of the mixture, product, or manufactured item containing the substance. The deadline for reporting is 18 May 2012, 3 PM (Eastern Daylight Saving Time).
