New Substances Fees Regulations (SOR/2002-374).

The present Regulations enforce the Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 (S.C. 1999, c. 33). The Regulations establish that importers and manufacturers of a new chemical or polymer who notify the government that they are introducing a new substance into Canada must pay a fee, in addition to providing the information prescribed in the afore-mentioned Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999. However, the fees do not apply to a substance that is an animate or inanimate product of biotechnology, or to the notifier of a new substance that is manufactured or imported for a use that is regulated under any other Act of Parliament, including the Food and Drugs Act, the Fisheries Act and the Health of Animals Act. The text consists of 12 sections and 3 Schedules.
