Overview
Initially, facilities were not licensed in Saskatchewan. The Retrospective Facility Licensing Program was implemented to license facilities that existed or were under construction prior to June 19, 2007.
In some instances, a retrospective facility licence may have been issued in cases where the facility was never physically constructed.
Guidance
A licensee with a retrospective facility that was never physically constructed can apply to the ministry to request the facility licence be considered for cancellation and liability adjustment, under the Licensee Liability Rating (LLR) Program.
Please be advised, that submitting the request does not guarantee that the facility licence will be cancelled or have the liability adjusted. The Ministry has access to records that predate the information available in IRIS which may have evidence that the facility was constructed and/or operated.
Eligibility
Before submitting a Retrospective Facility Licence Liability Adjustment application, you must:
- Have an Integrated Resource Information System (IRIS) account and the appropriate permissions assigned by your IRIS Security Administrator.
- Be the registered licensee of the facility licence in IRIS.
- Obtain your Licensee Liability Inventory Report and ensure the facility licence appears with the following:
- Licence status is other than "Proposed"
- The Retro Licence column is "Yes"
- The Annual Volume column is "No" (unless the facility type is "Injection/Production Satellite")
How to Apply
To apply for a retrospective facility licence application, the licensee must:
- Ensure the eligibility criteria are met.
- Complete the Retrospective Facility Licence Liability Adjustment Form and Save as Word or PDF document.
- Log into IRIS and complete the Licence Liability Adjustment application.
- Note: This IRIS application will only accept Word, Excel and PDF file attachments.
The applicant will be notified of the ministry's decision through IRIS. On approval, the liability associated with the facility licence would be adjusted to $0.00 in IRIS and reflected in the Licensee Liability Inventory report (available in IRIS). Please note that the ministry would also update the facility licence status to "Cancelled", however, this change may not be reflected in IRIS immediately.
