Canada NEB Updates Pipeline Safety Regulations SOR/99-294

On April 10, 2013, Canada’s National Energy Board (NEB) amended its onshore pipeline safety regulations. The Regulations clarify requirements for federally regulated pipelines regarding management systems for the purpose of protecting the public, workers and the environment. The amendments require pipeline companies to appoint an accountability officer and implement other requirements dealing with security, integrity, and emergency management, and annual reporting. The Onshore Pipeline Regulations, 1999 were amended and renamed the National Energy Board Onshore Pipeline Regulations (OPR).

Companies subject to the regulations must submit notification identifying their Accountable Officers (notification requirement in section 6.2 of the OPR) by May 10, 2013. Click on Company Submission Requirements for more details.
