NEB to introduce Administrative Monetary Penalties

The National Energy Board (NEB) has developed draft Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations (AMP Regulations) and published them in the Canada Gazette, starting a 30-day public comment period. 

Under the proposed regulations, the NEB can issue a Notice of Violation to landowners who construct a facility or excavate without leave under Section 112(1) of the NEB Act or who fail to obtain leave of a pipeline company to drive vehicles or mobile equipment over a pipeline right-of-way under Section 112(2) of the NEB Act.  These violations are designated as Type-B violations and will result in a monetary penalty of between $4,000 and $100,000 for a corporation and between $1,000 and $25,000 for an individual.
