B. Date Last Modified

 Extensive consultations with licensees and other key stakeholders took place prior to publication of the new CNSC Cost Recovery Fees Regulations in the Canada Gazette. On July 1, 2003, new CNSC Cost Recovery Fees Regulations were implemented, which replaced the former AECB Cost Recovery Fees Regulations (1996). The Cost Recovery Advisory Group (CRAG) met in October 2003 to discuss the CNSC’s Cost Recovery Program. CRAG members viewed the forum as a positive mechanism for information sharing. The agenda and minutes of the meeting are available on the CNSC’s website at www.nuclearsafety.gc.ca.
