2021–22 Annual Report of the Commission of the Canada Energy Regulator – Appendix B: Application Activity in 2021–22
The following charts include those applications that are subject to a routine application evaluation process (where no one other than the applicant has expressed interest in providing input) and applications where the CER has established a public hearing process for receiving input from people other than the applicant as part of its evaluation process.
An application under the National Energy Board Act (NEB Act) or Canadian Energy Regulator Act (CER Act) may be submitted with requests under several parts of the NEB Act or CER Act or Regulations. Each application submitted is counted only once in the table as received and only once as having a decision or recommendation issued.
The two visualizations below show the application activity for the NEB and CER for the fiscal year 2021–22.
Visualization B.1 (Summary of Application Activity in 2021–22) is a high-level summary representation of the information in visualizations B.2 and B.3. It shows the grand total of all application activity.
Visualizations B.2 and B.3 (Detailed Application Activity in 2021–22 and Detailed Decision / Recommendation Activity in 2021–22) provide a detailed listing of all applications received, as well as decisions and recommendations issued in 2021–22.
