Preface
In accordance with the Atlantic Accord legislation and Development Plan and Benefits Plan Guidelines, the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (C-NLOPB) is inviting comments from the public with respect to the Hibernia Development Plan Amendment Part 1, January 2010 and the Amendment to the Hibernia Benefits Plan, January 2010.
Fiscal issues, such as corporate taxation and royalties, are matters for government and are outside the mandate of the C-NLOPB. Comments pertaining to these issues will be accepted, but only those pertaining to the merits of the application will be considered in the Board’s decision-making, along with the results of its own internal assessment of the application.
With respect to Part II documents filed by the proponent, the Board concurs with the proponent that certain reports are proprietary and should remain confidential. Proprietary information is subject to section 119(2) of the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act and cannot be made available to the public.
