Note 1: The fee or service triggers a series of activities related to land and resource management and the protection of the environment, all of which are controlled by the nature and scope of the resource development projects, e.g. mine development. The determination of a full cost estimate is not available at this time because of the complexity of this process, both in terms of the nature of the activity (e.g.: whether a water licence is a Type A licence requiring a public hearing versus a Type B water licence just requiring a review; a Type A Land Use Permit that requires an full environmental assessment versus a Type B Land Use Permit that just requires an screening) as well as the number of groups involved e.g.: Indian and Northern Affairs Canada for the processing of a Type B Land Use Permit or a full public hearing held by an Institution of Public Government as required by legislation that involves numerous participants). For Fiscal Year 2010-2011, further work is being undertaken to calculate these costs by studying the activity required to administer the user fees in order to better determine the full costs.

Northwest Territories and Nunavut Mining Regulations (NTNUMRs) Current service standards are set in existing legislation and regulation: NTNUMR amendments All applications processed within set time lines. The Canada Mining Regulations (CMR) name was changed to Northwest Territories and Nunavut Mining Regulations in 2008.  The regulations are currently in the process of modernization. The royalty sections of the NTNUMRs were amended in 1999, but the remainder of the regulations were left as they were written in 1977. The metric system is being introduced in this round of amendments, thereby changing the fee schedule to reflect the amounts required by hectares instead of acres. The mining industry and other stakeholders were consulted by various methods of consultation and no complaints about the changes were submitted. One new fee is being added to discourage nuisance protests against a claim.

 Other Information: Although application fees are stable from one fiscal year to another, as requesters become more familiar with the ATIA, they learn to specify their requests enough to avoid paying search and photocopy fees.
