B. Date Last Modified Extensive consultations with licensees and other key stakeholders took place prior to publication of the new CNSC Cost Recovery Fees Regulations in the Canada Gazette. On July 1, 2003, new CNSC Cost Recovery Fees Regulations were implemented, which replaced the former AECB Cost Recovery Fees Regulations (1996). The Cost Recovery Advisory Group (CRAG) met in October 2003 to discuss the CNSC’s Cost Recovery Program. CRAG members viewed the forum as a positive mechanism for information sharing. The agenda and minutes of the meeting are available on the CNSC’s Web site at www.nuclearsafety.gc.ca.
C. Other Information * Additional information may be found at www.nuclearsafety.gc.ca Calculation of full cost is based on CNSC audited financial statements * Includes services provided without charge from other government departments Please refer to the CNSC audited financial statements for additional detailed information as follows: 1. Auditors report: This report states that the CNSC has complied with the CNSC Cost Recovery Fees Regulations for 2007-2008. 2. Details on revenue charged and the associated cost of operations by fee category. The CNSC has established two internal dispute resolution mechanisms. The first addresses disputes over the administration of fees and the other over regulatory activity assignments. Details regarding the process and contact information are available on the CNSC Web site. During the 2007-2008 fiscal year, two disputes over the administration of fees were brought forward by licensees. All complaints were resolved at the first level of grievance through the dispute resolution mechanism for fee administration
