Table 6: Major Regulatory Initiatives

The preparation of regulations pursuant to the Nuclear Safety and Control Act is a key regulatory initiative undertaken by the CNSC. Specific regulations that the CNSC expects to submit for legal examination or final approval over the three-year planning period are:

Regulations	Expected Results
Nuclear Safeguards Regulations	Establish generic safeguards regulations in lieu of existing safeguards licence conditions to facilitate compliance with international safeguards agreements.
Nuclear Security Regulations - Amendment	Ensure that Canada's security requirements are compatible with international standards.
Nuclear Substances and Radiation Devices Regulations - Amendment	Address issues that have been noted by the Parliamentary Standing Joint Committee on Regulations; correct regulatory deficiencies that have come to light since the regulations came into force on May 31, 2000; and, adopt the latest exemption values in IAEA Basic Safety Standards.
Class II Nuclear Facilities and Prescribed Equipment Regulations - Amendment	Address issues that have been noted by the Parliamentary Standing Joint Committee on Regulations; and, correct a number of regulatory deficiencies that have come to light since the regulations came into force on May 31, 2000.
Nuclear Non-proliferation Import and Export Control Regulations - Amendment	Ensure that the export and import provisions and licensing requirements are compatible with developments in international agreements and guidance; address issues raised by the Parliamentary Standing Joint Committee on regulations; and, clarify minor ambiguities.
Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission Rules of Procedure and Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission By-laws	Up-to-date Rules of Procedure and By-laws, to reflect best practices in the area of administrative tribunals.

Section IV - Other Items of Interest

Organizational Information

The CNSC consists of two separate organizations as follows:

(i) Commission

The Commission, supported by the Secretariat, is a quasi-judicial administrative tribunal.  It sets regulatory policy direction on matters relating to health, safety, security and environmental issues affecting the Canadian nuclear industry; makes independent decisions on the licensing of nuclear-related activities in Canada; and establishes legally-binding regulations.  The Commission takes into account the views, concerns and opinions of interested stakeholders.  The Commission also delegates to Designated Officers the authority to render licensing decisions for certain categories of nuclear facilities and activities in accordance with the requirements of the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA) and its associated regulations.

The NSCA provides for the appointment of up to seven Commission members by the Governor in Council (GIC) serving at good behaviour.  Part-time members serve as permanent members for a term not exceeding five years.  One member of the Commission is designated as the President of the Commission.  This position is currently held by Linda J. Keen.

(ii) CNSC Staff

The staff organization consists of a headquarters in Ottawa, site offices located at each of the five nuclear generating stations in Canada, and five regional offices.  CNSC staff is permanently located at each nuclear generating station in Canada to assess performance against regulations and specific conditions of operating licences.  Regional offices conduct compliance activities for nuclear substances, transportation, radiation devices and equipment containing nuclear substances as well as respond to unusual events involving nuclear substances.

CNSC staff supports the Commission by developing regulatory frameworks and recommending regulatory policies, carrying out licensing, certification, compliance inspections and enforcement actions, coordinating the CNSC's international undertakings, developing CNSC-wide programs in support of regulatory effectiveness, maintaining relations with stakeholders and providing administrative support to the organization.

In addition, staff prepares recommendations on licensing decisions, presents them to the Commission for consideration during public hearings and subsequently administers the Commission's decisions.  Where authority has been delegated, staff renders licensing decisions.
