Instructions for completing schedules of bisphenol A pollution prevention planning notice: chapter G

G. Time extension to prepare or implement a pollution prevention plan

The information described in this section is collected in Schedule 3. Information submitted in Schedule 3 will not be available to the public.

The Canada Gazette Notice states the time period within which your pollution prevention plan must be prepared and its implementation begun, and the time period within which your pollution prevention plan must be implemented^Footnote 2.

If you do not think it is reasonable or practicable to prepare or implement your pollution prevention plan in the time allotted, you may request an extension of the time period specified in the Notice using Schedule 3.

Such a request will only be considered if it is received on or before the deadline to prepare (or implement) the plan as published in the Notice (or before the expiry of any extended period), not the deadline to submit the Schedule 1 (or Schedule 5).  Persons submitting such requests will receive a written response informing them of the Minister's decision to grant or deny the request.

Note that the Minister of the Environment publishes in the Canada Gazette the name of any person for whom an extension is granted, the duration of the period of the extension, and whether the extension is for the preparation or implementation of the plan.

2.0 Request for time extension

Indicate which time period you are requesting to be extended (time to prepare a pollution prevention plan, time to implement a pollution prevention plan). Specify the new date to which you wish the time period to be extended.

3.0 Rationale for request

Explain the reasons that you are applying for an extension (i.e., why you believe the time period specified in the Notice is not reasonable or practicable). The Minister of the Environment will evaluate the request for a time extension based on the reasons or rationale provided in the request.
