Action on VOCs in Canada Members Need to Respond to Two VOC Regulatory Initiatives in September Proposed Third VOC Regulations in the Canada Gazette Part I: Comments Filed on to September 19 Member Action: CPCA received very few member's views and focused on the needs for the definitions and scope to be better aligned with CARB 2010 and a 3-year sell-through period. National Questionnaire on Architectural VOC Contents Questionnaires Should be Returned by September 20 Member Action: ECCC (Environment Climate Change Canada) intends to compare the current VOC content of AIM paint products sold in Canada with those of US jurisdictions including CARB. Although this survey is non-mandatory, ECCC needs to rely on a representative sample of AIM products that is in Canadian commerce. CPCA urges all members and colorant distributors to make efforts to respond. A consultation for a Revisited Architectural VOC Regulations is expected in the first part of 2020 and CPCA will need to be prepared for those discussions on behalf of members. Environment New E2 (Environmental Regulations) Now Enforced: Plans Must be Re- submitted via a New SWIM E2 Reporting System Since August 24, 2019, all information required under the new E2 Regulations, 2019 must be submitted electronically in the new online E2 reporting system, accessed through the Single Window Information Manager (SWIM) available online. This new electronic reporting system will permanently replace the old E2 reporting system that will no longer be available. CPCA General CMP Development Update CPCA Submitted Comments to Environment and Climate Change Canada Regarding Proposed Toxicity Declaration for Zinc and 64 Zinc Compounds These compounds are used in anticorrosive, pigments and driers in industrial/automotive coatings and in a limited number of Architectural paint products. CPCA Submitted Comments on CMP-3 Draft Screening Assessment Report and Risk Management Scope Document for Resins and Rosins One substance is proposed toxic: CTO (or tall oil CAS RN 8002-26-4). CPCA received no confirmation of use of in industrial and consumer coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers (CASE) products, but received confirmation of use of a few other rosins and for this reason, our sector needs to remain engaged. CPCA also questioned Canada’s unique risk management actions for CTO with no equivalent in the USA and EU. Health Canada Launches Short Information Gathering Questionnaire on 69 Alkylbenzene Sulfonates and Derivatives/Alkylbenzenes/Sulfonate Esters CPCA distributed the questionnaire to be answered before September 27. A number of these substances are used in paint and adhesives. The Government Published a Summary of Flame Retardant Assessments and Management under CMP All members active in this market should carefully review this summary which was updated on August 28. Ongoing Consultation on Risk Classification, Licensing and Inspection Guides and Enforcement Policy Changes for Controlled Substances and Precursors This consultation ends on September 24. The amended regulations pertinent to controlled substances are coming into force on December 9, 2019. The new documents have been developed to support compliance with the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and its associated regulations which include the Precursor Control Regulations. Biocides Used for In-Can and Film Preservation Further Response from PMRA Expected on OIT Ban PMRA is still in the process of analyzing several biocides under the ‘paint cluster analysis' until February 2020 and is expected to respond to industry challenges on the OIT Ban and CMIT/MIT restrictions on November 26. The proposed decision for the paint cluster analysis was expected on August 31. The decision is now delayed to February 2020. The decision for OIT and CMIOT/MIT is now expected on November 26, 2019. Until then, the OIT ban is still in effect. Apparently the PMRA risk assessment team used a rate of dermal absorption of 100% for OIT while registrants had published studies confirming a much lower dermal absorption rate, which were re-sent by registrants. Treated Articles Note Causing Confusion CPCA sent several comments to PMRA regarding the treated articles information note and communicated a preferred list of paint biocides for paint to PMRA officials. CPCA and ACA have investigated a possible misinterpretation and misalignment of the PMRA policy that could have some impact on importers of treated articles. Trade Policy CPCA Supports Canadian Manufacturers Coalition Seeking Delay of Labour Code Changes for Transportation of Goods The Labour Code changes that came into force on September 1, 2019, are part of omnibus bills having received royal assent applying to federally regulated workplaces but some of these changes indirectly have an impact on industry generally with respect the possible disruptions to the 24/7 continuous and just-in-time transportation of goods. Members should review their procedures to this effect. Workplace Health & Safety CPCA Submits Grave Concerns to Health Canada on True Copy Label Requirement This document will be submitted jointly with other CIC industry documents this month to address negative impacts on operations of manufacturers, suppliers and distributors. Health Canada/OSHA Publish Joint Guidance on Regulatory Process & Label Comparison for Shipped Containers & HNOC/PHNOC/HHNOC Label Pictograms Read More... Post-Consumer Paint Recycling Ontario Paint Stewards Upset with Ministerial Direction on Paint Surplus of $17.5 Million CPCA filed two submissions with Ontario government agencies reiterating paint industry concerns with the MHSW wind up plan and related ‘surplus funds’ government now says hold be returned to consumers even though funds were paid by producers. The ‘surplus funds’ accumulated on the backs of paint stewards in Ontario, 99% of the volume sold by CPCA members, are in reality overcharges that were accumulated prior to 2015 before the Paint Industry Stewardship Plan (ISP) was created and, in fact, was one of the reasons for its creation. Since then paint recycling has been effectively operated under the Paint ISP, run by Product Care Recycling. A CPCA submission was sent to Stewardship Ontario to oppose the Wind-up Plan for the outstanding $17.5 million surplus and another CPCA submission was sent to the Ontario Associate Minister responsible for red tape reduction with recommendations that would address growing red tape and regulatory burden for waste recycling in Ontario. Another submission was sent to the Minister of Environment and members sent letters of concern to MPPS in Ontario. CPCA continues to argue the issue in the context of the Government’s ‘open for business’ and ‘red tape reduction’ direction for industry. CPCA is seeking a “fee holiday” or “fee elimination” approach offered to other stewards and for the fund NOT to be r reimbursed to consumers via some impossible rebate program for funds that were already internalized as part of ongoing paint operational costs. Federal Procurement Policy Should Recognize Recycled Paint CPCA seeks federal procurement policy change for minimal content requirements for recycled paint on government projects across Canada. CPCA did a Pre-Budget recommendation for a federal procurement policy. CPCA will continue to research Canadian and North American green procurement systems and inclusion of recycled paint and send this approved procurement letter to several governments.

  • 7. Megaprojects
    7. Megaprojects The Plan is intended to foster long-term economic growth and enhance the quality of life for Louisiana citizens by identifying efficient and effective investments and policies. As part of this effort, the Plan identifies major transportation improvements or “megaprojects” that have been proposed throughout the state. For the purposes of the Plan, a megaproject is a very expensive or large scale transportation improvement that would have a regional or statewide impact and would require special funding outside of normal DOTD funding mechanisms. A transportation improvement included as a megaproject in the Plan may be eligible for further study and possibly implementation, should additional state or federal funding become available. The list of megaprojects and their prioritization are further described below and included fully in Appendix F. 7.1 Highlights 113 Total Megaprojects • RPOs were presented with 113 megaprojects for Plan consideration. Priority A Megaprojects • Priority A has 20 megaprojects for a total of $4.8 billion ($3.7 billion from DOTD). These can be funded under Scenarios 3 or 4, as outlined in Chapter 5. Priorty B Megaprojects • Priority B has 19 megaprojects for a total of $5.8 billion ($3 billion from DOTD). These can only be funded under Scenario 4, as outlined in Chapter 5. 7.2 Megaproject Development A key component of the Plan is selecting the right mix of projects and project types that best achieve intended outcomes, goals, and objectives. Transportation agencies must balance the requirements of sustaining their existing system pavements and bridges against “modernization” improvements (safety, wider lanes, ITS) versus expansion investments (new construction, additional capacity).

  • China's 2010 Work Forum on Tibet: a Turn Towards Meeting Basic Human Needs?
    CHINA'S 2010 WORK FORUM ON TIBET: A TURN TOWARDS MEETING BASIC HUMAN NEEDS? Gabriel Lafitte February 2010 [email protected] PRELUDE TO A NEW APPROACH: POLICY EXHAUSTION Official Chinese policy on Tibet has long had two strands -on one hand development, on the other stability/security. Few seem to notice they are contradictory, giving with one hand, taking with the other; creating opportunities only to restrict access to them, to those who can be trusted, who in Tibet almost always are Chinese immigrants. The internal contradictions of promoting growth while restricting Tibetan agency inevitably lead to Tibetans feeling excluded, while the promised growth benefits only the Chinese immigrants, from top officials down to Sichuanese expeasant building labourers. This contradiction is at the root of Tibetan frustrations, and is compounded by the internal contradiction of the propaganda work of the new elite in Tibet. The security state China has built in Tibet is run by a new elite class of cadres that peddles a narrative which follows a predictable trajectory, a cycle which repeats over the years. Tibetans and their friends around the world are very familiar with one part of this operatic cycle, in which the splittist Dalai clique is denounced in harsh, lurid language. This never fails to attract more money from Beijing to strengthen the security state. Then the elite gradually shifts to assuring Beijing and anyone else listening, that the Tibetan masses generally are patriotic, and support the party and want nothing to do with the tiny but ever present splittist enemy within. Eventually, through endless repetition the party elite in Tibet and in Beijing come to believe their own propaganda narrative.

  • REDESIGNING AREA/COUNTRY STUDIES Hans Kuijper
    COMPARATIVE COUNTRY STUDIES REDESIGNING AREA/COUNTRY STUDIES Hans Kuijper Area/country studies like Turkology, Iranology, Indology, Sinology, Koreanol- ogy and Japanology are fundamentally flawed. They have an explanandum, but do not have a distinctive explanans. On the one hand, the practitioners of this kind of study tacitly claim to be knowledgeable about anything concerning the area or country of their interest (after all, Sinology is the study of China, just as sociology is the study of society). On the other hand, they reluctantly admit that it is impossible to be an expert on, say, the economy, polity and society of the country, given the prodigious amount of information available about these domains, the conflicting schools of thought, and the increasing awareness of the complexity of the world. The premises of this paper, meant to be also foun- dational to IR/Global Studies, are: (a) proper understanding of a country is only possible if a truly interdisciplinary approach is taken, and (b) the insights of computer, network and complex systems scientists could be profitably used in doing so. Rethinking area/country studies in a global context, the author concludes that the subject, being of great importance for international peace and security, should be high on the agenda of the higher-education discussion. Keywords: area/country studies, scientific collaboration, computer science, systems science, higher education. Introduction The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), in London, the Leiden University Institute for Area Studies (LIAS), the National Institute for Oriental Languages and Civilizations (INALCO), in Paris, the German Institute of Global and Area Studies (GIGA), in Hamburg, the Institute of Oriental Studies (IOS) of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), in Moscow, and the Japan Consortium for Area Studies (JCAS), in Tokyo, are some of the institutions solely devoted to area/country studies.
