In this Bulletin, the AER announced it is changing the process for filing emergency response plans (“ERPs”). Effective February 2, 2017, ERPs are to be submitted electronically, through the AER’s Digital Data Submission (“DDS”) system, rather than by hard copy.
Directive 071: Emergency Preparedness and Response Requirements for the Petroleum Industry has been revised to reflect this change. The February 2017 edition replaces the November 2009 edition, effective immediately.
