Break the project into regulatory objects before filing: pipeline, installation, facility, amendment, resumption, pressure change, or substance change. Map each object to its filing requirement.
Current Guidance
Use Directive 056 and Manual 012 to confirm pipeline licence, pipeline installation, amendment, and resumption filing requirements.
