Bulletin – Consent Submission – Public Lands Act Applications
This bulletin clarifies the administrative completeness requirements for Public Lands Act applications related to consents provided via e-mail to Electronic Disposition System (EDS) users.
Consents from all other existing disposition holders within the application area must be obtained prior to conducting any activity on the lands in question. The list of disposition holders from whom consent must be obtained has now expanded to include:
(a) Timber dispositions: forest management agreement area (FMA), deciduous timber licence (DTL), coniferous timber licence (CTL), deciduous timber permit (DTP), and coniferous timber permit (CTP);
(b) Agricultural dispositions: grazing lease (GRL), grazing permit (GRP), and forest grazing licence (FGL); and
(c) Sample plots dispositions: industrial sample plot (ISP), and disposition reservation (DRS).
Applications not including the required consent information will be rejected by the AER as incomplete.
