Regulations made under the National Energy Board Act remain in force under the Canadian Energy Regulator Act. New regulations and updates to existing regulations are being implemented through a phased approach.

Every decision or order made by the National Energy Board is considered to have been made under the Canadian Energy Regulator Act and may be enforced as such. Every certificate, license or permit issued by the National Energy Board is considered to have been issued under the Canadian Energy Regulator Act.

      • The circumstances in which the Lead Commissioner can designate an excluded period are:
        1. If the project applicant submits a written request to the Commission of the CER, requesting for a period to be excluded.
        2. If the Commission is of the opinion that a change to the project’s design, or operation or construction plans, requires the undertaking of studies or the collection of additional information.
        3. If the applicant has not paid the fees, levies or charges payable under the CER’s cost recovery scheme (as per CER Act s. 87).
      • The CER Act provides that, in the circumstances provided in the Regulations, the Lead Commissioner may specify that a period is to be excluded from the calculation of the time limit within which the Commission must make its decision or recommendation, and must provide the reasons for excluding that period.
