AER Bulletin 2019-15: Invitation for Feedback on Draft Requirements for Public Involvement Release Date: Jun 25, 2019
We are seeking public feedback on a draftdirective setting out industry requirements for engaging and informing members of the public on energy resource developments throughout the life cycle of a project (Draft Directive XXX: Public Involvement).
When finalized,this directive will replace the existing participant involvement requirements identified in section 3 of Directive 056: Energy Development Applications and Schedules and section 4 of Draft Directive 023: Oil Sands Project Applications. The directive would be applicable to most activities regulated by the AER, except those regulated under Part 8 of the Mines and Minerals Act. The directive was developed by the AER following extensive discussions with Albertans and indigenous communities across the province.
The directive is accompanied by a manual that provides guidance, context, and examples that are relevant for understanding the directive. Refer to both documents for a comprehensive understanding of our expectations.
To provide written feedback on the draft directive, download the comment form available on the directive’s webpage and email the completed form to Public.Involvement@aer.ca. To provide oral feedback, contact us for further information. Feedback will be accepted until August 25, 2019.
