Emergency Procedures Manual
The National Energy Board informed all companies under its jurisdiction, via letter, that the Emergency Procedures Manuals (“EPMs”) filed under subsection 32(2) of the National Energy Board Onshore Pipeline Regulations, and section 35 of the National Energy Board Processing Plant Regulations:
(a) Must be filed as one hard copy and electronic copy, as opposed to the current practice of sending three hard copies. The hard copy will be considered the official record by the NEB;
(b) Must be filed as a new and complete copy when filing an update to the EPMs, which incorporates all updates; and
(c) Must be filed by April 1 of each year for annual updates, or the company must provide and file a letter indicating that there are no changes to the EPMs.
