Other information On 1 April 2014, the Government of the Northwest Territories became responsible for managing public land, water and resources in the NWT. The NEB retained jurisdiction for the offshore (Beaufort Sea), Inuvialuit Settlement Region and the Norman Wells Proven Area.

The change in jurisdiction means that user fees formerly received by the NEB for licencing work or activities in the NWT mainland are now the responsibility of the GNWT’s department of Industry, Tourism and Investment. This department is responsible for the regulation of onshore oil and gas development in the NWT.

During the reporting period, the Board received 57 requests under the Access to Information Act compared to 68 in the previous reporting period. 19 requests were outstanding from the previous reporting period. Of the 76 requests, 67 were completed and 9 were carried forward to the next year.
Other information The workload during the 2015–16 was heavier than the workload experienced during the previous fiscal year. Indeed, while the National Energy Board received fewer access to information requests in total than during 2014–15, these required the Board to review more than double the number pages it had reviewed during the previous fiscal year.
