1 Ministry of the Economy Changes The Background On November 28, 2016, The Pipelines Amendment Act, 2016 (Bill 43) was tabled for First Reading in the Legislature of Saskatchewan. The Bill will be considered by the Legislature in the spring of In preparation for the spring session, the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Economy is undertaking consultations with the oil and gas and pipeline industries on the content of the proposed Bill. This document provides background information for these consultations. Contact Information: Please direct any comments or questions about the proposed amendments to: Claire Loucks Senior Regulatory Affairs Officer Petroleum and Natural Gas Division Saskatchewan Ministry of the Economy 1000, th Avenue (mail) Regina, Saskatchewan S4P 3Z8 Phone: The deadline for submitting written comments is February 1, 2017.

2 The Legislative Process The debate on the Bill will occur after second reading during the spring session of The consultation process described in this notice is in support of finalizing any changes that the Government of Saskatchewan might introduce by way of amendment at that time. Please note that the Legislature of Saskatchewan will make the final decision on any amendments. Overview of Proposed Changes The proposed legislative changes will enable the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Economy (ECON) to accelerate its work on strengthening the pipeline regulatory system in Saskatchewan. This includes fully Changes 1 The Pipelines Act, 1998 addressing the recommendations of the Provincial Auditor related to ECON s regulation of the pipeline industry. The proposed changes will: 1. Establish a legal framework for the licensing of new and existing flowlines; 2. Enable the development of an electronic pipeline and flowline licensing, reporting and compliance monitoring system within the recently launched Integrated Resource Information System (IRIS); 3. Introduce new provisions into the Act to enable the development of technical directives related to pipeline construction, operation and abandonment; 4. Strengthen the capacity of the minister to carry out detailed audits of the operating practices of pipeline licence holders; 5. Establish a statutory official called an inspector to ensure that licence holders are in compliance with regulatory requirements; 6. Create a new regulatory authority to establish rules related to financial assurance in the event of a major pipeline failure; 7. Strengthen the capacity of the minister to review and approve pipeline licence transfers, including requiring the transfer of key pipeline maintenance records from the previous owner to the new owner;

3 8. Introduce administrative penalties for regulatory breaches of the Act, similar to provisions already available under The Oil and Gas Conservation Act (OGCA) and The Environmental Management and Protection Act, 2010; 9. Increase the statutory penalties under the Act from $50,000 per day to up to $500,000 per day to better reflect the serious consequences of regulatory offences; and 10. Strengthen provisions under the Act to deal with licensee liability in the event of an issue being discovered after a pipeline is abandoned. A detailed description of the proposed changes is found in Schedule A. New Regulatory Authorities Assuming the legislative changes are approved, the proposed amendments will become effective upon proclamation of The Pipelines Amendment Act, However, the implementation of many of these provisions require the further development of regulations and, where appropriate, directives. A description of some of the additional regulatory work is outlined below: Flowline Licensing The proposed amendments will require new and existing flowlines to be licensed as of a prescribed date. At this point, ECON has not determined an implementation date for a flowline licensing system. The final date, which will be the subject of consultation with industry, will be determined based on a number of factors including: The development of an online system for licensing flowlines and pipelines; and The assembly of data on existing flowlines to enable the retroactive licensing of these gathering systems. The second process will involve working with well and facility operators, as well as data vendors, to determine what electronic records already exist that would support retroactive flowline licensing. ECON s goal is to implement a cost-effective approach to retroactive licensing that can be developed and implemented over the next few years. The focus will be on

4 developing a basic inventory of flowline locations and ownership for the purpose of issuing a retroactive licence. Finally, the proposed amendments will not affect the jurisdiction of the Surface Rights Board of Arbitration with respect to flowlines and pipelines. Rights of entry for flowlines will continue to be governed by The Surface Rights Acquisition and Compensation Act. Rights of entry for pipelines other than flowlines will be governed by The. IRIS Development ECON will be initiating work in on requirements gathering for expanding IRIS to include pipeline licensing. This work will be done in consultation with industry and other regulators, to ensure that the data model and business rules are as consistent as possible with other jurisdictions, including the National Energy Board. The proposed amendments support the implementation of an online system based on the use of electronic records and communication for the administration of pipeline information and the issuance of licences. One of the key aspects of the IRIS development will be the ability to receive and administer geospatial public records on pipeline locations. These records will be made available to the public for use in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The assembly of this mapping data will resolve a major gap in the public information available on pipelines in Saskatchewan and will enable the inclusion of comprehensive pipeline data in the Saskatchewan 1 st Call system. Overall, ECON s expected design of the IRIS pipeline licensing system will be based on the approach used for well licences. Routine pipeline licences or amendments will be issued in an expedited manner based on the submission of supporting declarations and technical information. More complex applications or those that are a higher risk to the public will go through a more detailed technical review by ECON. The business model will also leverage the single window capacity of IRIS to integrate reviews conducted by ECON as well as the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture. Directives The proposed amendments include new powers to establish technical directives for the construction, operation and abandonment of pipelines. Any new directives will be approved by order in council. Like regulations, new directives will be subject to industry consultations before they are put forward to the Lieutenant Governor in Council for approval. It is expected that approval of Directive PNG014: Incident Reporting Requirements will be the first directive to be put forward for approval after the amendments are approved. This

5 directive provides for consistent treatment of incidents for wells, facilities and pipelines. Other directives will be developed on a priority basis and will be subject to industry consultation. Administrative Penalties The proposed changes will enable regulations to be developed for the purpose of assessing administrative penalties by the minister for breaches of an Act, regulations or a directive. These Changes 3 The Pipelines Act, 1998 penalties will be designed to address both the seriousness of the infraction and its potential consequences. Serious offences will continue to be dealt with through the judicial process. ECON will be consulting with industry on the design of its administrative penalty system as part of the normal regulatory development process. These consultations will occur after the proposed amendments are proclaimed. No penalties can be assessed before regulations are in place. Matters that may trigger an administrative penalty under a potential penalty regulation may include: Constructing or operating a pipeline without a licence; Commencing operations of a pipeline without a leave to open being issued by the ministry; Failing to maintain a pipeline to the standards set out in CSA 662; Failing to report a pipeline incident, including any required follow up reports, in accordance with regulatory requirements; Failing to report required operating information within the prescribed time frame; Failing to comply with a notice or order of the minister by a prescribed date. Financial Assurance

6 The Bill includes a provision allowing regulations to be passed requiring pipeline holders to hold sufficient financial assurance to deal with major pipeline failures. This provision is being added in the event that the review of the pipeline failure, that occurred on July 21, 2016 and resulted in oil being discharged into the North Saskatchewan River, concludes that additional assurance is needed to deal with the potential of high-consequence pipeline breaks. The Government of Canada recently implemented financial assurance requirements for major interprovincial pipelines regulated by the National Energy Board. The proposed amendments will enable the Government of Saskatchewan to implement similar requirements if it is deemed necessary. Any regulations on financial assurance will be subject to further consultations with industry. The regulations, if adopted, would be risked-based and tied to the consequence of a failure. Other Matters In addition to the changes outlined above, the proposed amendments include a number of new provisions aimed at strengthening existing regulatory programs. These include: Inspection and Audits The proposed amendments include new powers related to the inspection and auditing of the operating practices of pipeline licence holders. These powers also extend to carrying out investigations of pipeline incidents. The new provisions are modeled after provisions found in section of The Oil and Gas Conservation Act, which applies to inspections of wells and facilities. The new investigative powers are in addition to those found in section 23 of the current Act. This section allows the Oil and Gas Conservation Board established under The Oil and Gas Conservation Act to conduct hearings, investigations and inquiries in relation to pipelines. The proposed amendments will not affect the ability of the minister to refer matters to the Board for Changes 4 The Pipelines Act, 1998 investigation. The primary purpose of the changes is to allow ministry officials (inspectors) the ability to conduct inspections and audits as part of their ongoing regulatory responsibilities.

7 Service of Communication The proposed amendments will change the way that notices are serviced by the minister. First, licence holders will be required to maintain up-to-date contact information with ECON, including an address for service. This requirement is consistent with what already applies to well and facility licensees. Second, the proposed amendments set out a new process for service of communications and the dates upon which a notice is deemed to be served. Again, these provisions are modeled after the system used for serving notices on well and facility licensees. Licence Transfers The proposed amendments adopt the procedures used for the processing of well and facility licence transfers under The Oil and Gas Conservation Act. In future, a pipeline licence holder will be required to apply to the minister for approval of a transfer. The minister will then have an opportunity to review the transfer to ensure that both the transferor and transferee are in compliance with the Act, including any notices or orders issued by the minister. The amendments also set out the procedures in the event that a transfer is denied. In addition to changes to the transfer process, the amendments also include provisions requiring the transfer of all prescribed records from the transferor to the transferee. This will ensure that maintenance records for pipelines are conveyed from buyer to seller as part of the transaction. These records are required for proper management of pipeline infrastructure. Offences The proposed amendments update and modernize the provisions of the Act dealing with offences. The changes include an increase in the penalties that can be assessed by a court from $50,000 per day to $500,000 per day. This change brings the offences provisions in line with those found in The Oil and Gas Conservation Act. Continuing Liability The proposed amendments include a provision dealing with the continuing liability of well licence holders to deal with environmental or safety issues that may arise after a pipeline is

8 abandoned. This obligation already applies to flowlines under The Oil and Gas Conservation Act and will be extended to all pipelines with this amendment. Immunity The proposed amendments include a provision found in other provincial regulatory laws that provide the minister or officials or agents acting on behalf of the minister with immunity from legal actions or proceedings for regulatory decisions taken in good faith.

It is modeled after section 20 of The Oil and Conservation Regulations, 2012 (OGCR) which applies to well and facility licensees. It is worth noting that Section 20 of OGCR already applies to flowlines associated with wells and facilities. The proposed addition of section 24.3 to The will extend this obligation to all pipelines.
