“2.0 Program Scope
2.1 Regulated Sectors

At a minimum, Ontario proposes to regulate the same sectors to be covered by the federal OBPS in order to facilitate reporting and compliance and to provide clarity for Ontario businesses while Ontario’s constitutional reference regarding the GGPPA is pending. The federal government OBPS currently covers the following sectors in Ontario:
• cement;
• chemical sectors (specifically ammonia, hydrogen, nylon, carbon black, citric acid; MPMD, petrochemical, vaccines);”

“ 2.3 Emissions Threshold
Threshold refers to the smallest size of in-scope facilities covered by the program, usually based on the amount of annual emissions in tonnes of CO2e per year and sometimes on a production or capacity threshold such as megawatt hour of electricity produced. For the start of the program, Ontario is considering whether to either establish a mandatory emissions threshold at 25,000 or at 50,000 tonnes/year and allowing smaller facilities with emissions between 10,000 tonnes per year and the mandatory threshold to voluntarily participate (opt-in) to the program beginning in 2019”.

Does this mean, if you are " regulated facility" you are required to enter the EPS program even though you may not meet the 10 Kt threshold ?

This is different from the Federal OBPS program. Can you please clarify that in the document?
