Affected customers
Existing SCC GHGAP customers and new applicants
Background
The Minister of Transport (“the Minister”) has approved an extension of the compliance date for the submission of verified 2019 Emissions Reports and associated verification reports from May 31, 2020 to October 31, 2020. The purpose of this extension is to provide relief to commercial arrangements already made between air operators and private operators, and their verification bodies for whom travel is currently restricted.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, this extension will support social distancing policies developed to reduce the spread of the virus. The purpose of this extension is to adopt temporary measures in an effort to reduce the potential of person transmission in air traffic control units in Canada. This follows the declaration of a pandemic outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11th, 2020.
This extension applies to all Canadian private operators and air operators.
This extension ceases to apply to a Canadian private operator or air operator that does not respect the conditions of this extension.
New requirements
Deadline
This exemption is in effect until the earliest of the following:
a) October 31, 2020 at 23:59 EST; or
b) The date on which the exemption is cancelled in writing by the Minister where he is of the opinion that it is no longer in the public interest or is likely to adversely affect aviation safety or security
