Other Information:

The licence terms of 24/38 GHz spectrum licences obtained via the 1999 Auction were coming to an end starting in 2010. A decision released in March 2006 extended the initial licence terms of these licences. The decision also announced a licensing process available for 24, 28 and 38 GHz spectrum. Issuing these licences will require an annual fee be in place. A consultation was undertaken and the results are being reviewed prior to proceeding with the required stages under the User Fees Act (UFA). The fee is expected to be in place in 2011–12.

The initial public consultation took place in April 2008. It is anticipated that the proposed fee may be reviewed by Parliament under the UFA in 2011–12.

As established pursuant to the Policy on Service Standards for External Fees:

• service standards may not have received parliamentary review; and
• service standards may not respect all performance standard establishment requirements under the UFA (e.g., international comparison; independent complaint address).

Performance results are not legally subject to section 5.1 of the UFA regarding fee reductions for unachieved performance.

			2013–14	3	1,915

Other Information: 
The ATIA permits the waiving of fees when deemed to be in the public interest and if under $25. The fees collected during the reporting period totalled $2,610. In accordance with government policy, it is the Department's practice to waive fees where the total owing per request amounts to less than $25. Fees waived during 2010–11 represented $3,622.

There continues to be a significant increase in the number of times fees are waived due to the ongoing use of an electronic disclosure service. In addition, a number of applicants are seeking re-releases of information already disclosed, thus reducing fees collected even further. In order to reduce costs and increase efficiency, released documents are provided on CD-ROM, which means no reproduction fees are charged to the applicant.

As established pursuant to the Policy on Service Standards for External Fees:

• service standards may not have received parliamentary review; and
• service standards may not respect all performance standard establishment requirements under the UFA (e.g., international comparison; independent complaint address).

The ATIA states that all formal requests submitted must be accompanied by a $5 application fee payable to the Receiver General of Canada. All fees prescribed and received pursuant to the ATIA are returned to the Consolidated Revenue Fund.

All fees collected and waived under the ATIA are detailed in the Department's annual report to Parliament on the ATIA.

According to prevailing legal opinion, where the corresponding fee introduction or most recent modification occurred prior to March 31, 2004, the:

• performance standard, if provided, may not have received parliamentary review;
• performance standard, if provided, may not respect all establishment requirements under the UFA(e.g., international comparison; independent complaint address);
• performance result, if provided, is not legally subject to UFA, Section 5.1, regarding fee reductions for failed performance.
