- automotive refinishing (autobody shop spray booths)
- heating systems
- standby power systems
A decision has been made to prescribe these activities for the purposes of the 20.21 of the Act. The regulation was filed with the Registrar of Regulations as Ontario Regulation 245/11 (O.Reg. 245/11) on June 14, 2011.

As part of the Ministry's Modernization of Approvals initiative, the Environmental Activity and Sector Registry provides a more effective and efficient environmental approvals process while maintaining environmental protection. Businesses will be able to register these activities starting September 19, 2011.
