Public Lands OneStop Implementation

On Monday BRITT was represented at the AER information session for the upcoming integration of Public Lands applications to the OneStop system.

A few take-aways from the session include:

• The change is one for processes only, not regulations

• This will be for AER regulated applications only. Anything under the jurisdiction of Alberta Environment & Parks (AEP) will continue to utilize EDS.

• Public Lands applications in OneStop will include:

• New applications

• Amendments

• Renewals

• Cancellations

• Energy Development Planning Tool (EDP Tool) (this will replace the LAT report but will not be required for application submissions)

• Temporary Field Authorizations (TFAs) will be relabelled as Regulator Temporary Field Authorizations (RTFs) to distinguish between temporary field authorizations issued by the regulator vs AEP

• Once the application process is implemented in OneStop, LAT reports & Application Supplements will no longer be required

• There will be a list of questions populated from the submission of shape files to the system. Depending on how the questions are answered, these “Assessment Rules” may trigger a further review by the regulator

• Computer Aided Design (CAD) files will not be accepted in the OneStop system, only shape files

• PDFs of plans / sketches will be required, along with shape files

• There will be no changes to the current sketch / survey plan requirements

• Training for the new applications on the OneStop system will begin for mid-March to April 2019

• Training sessions will be posted on the AER website under the Events page
