The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) declares the report entitled Routine Projects at Front Country Facilities in Jasper National Park to be a model class screening report (MCSR) pursuant to the provisions of subsection 19(1) and paragraph 19(2)(b) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (the Act).

Public consultations on the MCSR took place from May 15 to June 14, 2006. The Agency received no written submissions from the public concerning the MCSR. In making the declaration proposed by Parks Canada, the Agency has reviewed the MCSR and has determined that the project screening process, as described in the document, will meet the requirements of the Act for the environmental assessment of the class of projects.

The declaration is effective August 8, 2006, and is subject to the following terms and conditions:

  • Subject to subsection 19(8) of the Act, the declaration is valid until August 8, 2011.
  • Parks Canada will notify the Agency, in writing, a minimum of six months prior to the date on which the declaration expires, of its intention to renew the MCSR, to renew the MCSR with modifications or additions, or not to renew the MCSR and thereby allow the declaration to expire.
  • To renew the MCSR, Parks Canada will submit the proposed class screening report to the Agency no less than three months prior to the expiration date of this declaration so that the Agency may initiate a new declaration process.
  • Parks Canada and the Agency will ensure that the MCSR, and subsequent class screening project reports, are made available to the public in accordance with the requirements of the Act, as the MCSR may be amended from time to time. As such, Parks Canada will place the MCSR, and subsequent class screening project reports, in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry (CEAR) project file of its regional office. On a quarterly basis, Parks Canada will also post on the CEAR Web site a statement of the projects for which the MCSR was used, as required under paragraph 55.1(2)(d) of the Act.
  • Any amendments to the report will be developed and implemented in accordance with the provisions for amendment contained in section 6.3 of the MCSR.
