Chemical 102782-61-6 Moves to Domestic List

Summary#

An order from the Minister of the Environment (signed October 11, 2024) removes the chemical with CAS number 102782-61-6 from the Non‑domestic Substances List because it has been added to the Domestic Substances List under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. The change will take effect on the same day that Order 2024-87-08-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List comes into force.

What it does#

• Deletes 102782-61-6 from Part I of the Non‑domestic Substances List.
• Records that the substance has been added to the Domestic Substances List.
• States the order comes into force when Order 2024-87-08-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List comes into force (no exact date is given in this notice).

Who's affected#

• Chemical manufacturers, importers, suppliers and other businesses that make, bring in, or use the substance listed as 102782-61-6.
• Regulators and laboratories that track which chemicals are listed domestically in Canada.
• The notice only gives the CAS number; it does not provide a common name or uses for the substance, so it may be unclear to some readers exactly which products or industries are involved.

Why it matters#

• Moving a chemical from the Non‑domestic List to the Domestic List signals that the substance is now recognized as present in Canada.
• That recognition can lead to monitoring, assessments, reporting or other regulatory steps under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, so affected companies may face new obligations or scrutiny in future.
• The exact timing of the change depends on when Order 2024-87-08-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List takes effect.
