Three Substances Added to Domestic List
Canada Gazette, Part I, Volume 158, Number 20: GOVERNMENT NOTICES
An order signed May 8, 2024 removes three CAS-numbered entries (67762-83-8, 167208-61-9, 308336-53-0) from Part I of the Non‑domestic Substances List and, according to the notice, those substances have been added to the Domestic Substances List. The change becomes effective on the day a related Domestic Substances List order comes into force; no calendar effective date is given in this item.
Summary
Summary#
Order 2024-87-04-02 Amending the Non-domestic Substances List is a short federal order, signed by Steven Guilbeault on May 8, 2024, that removes three chemical entries from Part I of the Non-domestic Substances List. The removals take effect when a related order (/Order 2024-87-04-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List/) comes into force.
What it does#
- Deletes these three CAS numbers from Part I of the Non-domestic Substances List:
- 67762-83-8
- 167208-61-9
- 308336-53-0
- The notice in the Canada Gazette says the Minister has added those same substances to the Domestic Substances List by a related order (/Order 2024-87-04-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List/).
- The change becomes effective on the day that the related Domestic Substances List order comes into force (no calendar date is given in this item).
Who's affected#
- Companies that make, import, sell or use the specific substances listed by CAS number.
- Environmental consultants and laboratories that track chemical inventories and regulatory lists.
- Federal regulators and anyone who follows Canada's chemical inventory lists for compliance or reporting.
- The order does not include substance names — only the CAS numbers (67762-83-8, 167208-61-9, 308336-53-0) — so it may be hard for the general public to know which chemicals are affected without additional lookup.
Why it matters#
- Moving a substance from the Non-domestic Substances List to the Domestic Substances List signals that the government now treats those substances as present in Canadian commerce. That can change which reporting, assessment or information requirements apply under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.
- For businesses that handle these substances, the change may require updates to inventories, notifications, or regulatory compliance steps once the companion order comes into force.
- For members of the public, the practical impact depends on what the chemicals are and how they are used; this item does not give the chemical names or explain specific health or environmental effects.
