DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES AND OCEANS
FISHERIES ACT
Notice of intent with respect to amending the Pacific Aquaculture Regulations to include aquaculture licence fees
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) intends to charge licence fees for all federally licensed aquaculture operations in British Columbia, with the exception of salmon enhancement facilities. The licence fees would be implemented through an amendment to the Pacific Aquaculture Regulations. This process is also subject to the provisions of the User Fees Act, which requires that the fee proposal be tabled in Parliament before it is finalized.

All affected and interested parties are invited to review the discussion paper, and participate fully during the comment period of the consultation process which will begin on November 19, 2013, and conclude on December 19, 2013.
The information collected during this process will be used in informing the development of potential regulatory amendments as part of the implementation of these changes.
For further information, please consult the Department’s Web site at www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/aquaculture/programs-programmes/discussion-eng.htm.

Notice No. SMSE-006-13 — Decisions on the Licensing Framework for Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS) and Broadcasting-Satellite Service (BSS), Implications for Other Satellite Services in Canada, and Revised Fee Proposal
The purpose of this notice is twofold: (1) to announce Industry Canada’s decisions regarding revisions to the licensing framework for satellite services, following a consultation process initiated in March 2012 through the notice SMSE-003-12, Consultation on the Licensing Framework for Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS) and Broadcasting-Satellite Service (BSS) in Canada, published in the Canada Gazette; and (2) to seek comments on a revised fee proposal, as it is outlined in the decision paper.
Industry Canada has taken into consideration the comments and reply comments on the initial fee proposal, and has included a revised fee proposal in the above-noted decision paper.
A revised RP-008, Policy Framework for Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS) and Broadcasting-Satellite Service (BSS), which has been broadened to include BSS, and a revised CPC-2-6-02, Licensing of Space Stations, will be published in the coming weeks. A notice will be published announcing their release and the date that the moratorium on FSS and BSS licensing will be lifted. For further details regarding the current moratorium, see notice SMSE-015-12, Moratorium on new licence applications for fixed-satellite service and broadcasting-satellite service in Canada, published in the Canada Gazette.
It should be noted by all satellite operators that the revised CPC-2-6-02 will apply to all satellite licensing, including mobile-satellite service, amateur satellite service and space science satellite service. In some cases, the revised CPC will introduce changes to existing processes.
After the revised policy and procedures documents have been published, Industry Canada will hold a session with interested parties to answer questions. Within the week following that session, each interested party will be permitted to submit a single mock application and Industry Canada will provide feedback on whether it meets the new assessment criteria, as well as feedback on how to address any deficiencies in the application. Industry Canada will not lift the moratorium until this feedback has been provided to all parties.
Submitting comments
Interested parties should submit their comments on the revised fee proposal no later than December 6, 2013. Soon after the close of the comment period, all comments will be posted on Industry Canada’s Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Web site at www.ic.gc.ca/spectrum. There will be no opportunity for reply comments. All comments will be reviewed and considered by Industry Canada in order for it to arrive at a final fee proposal.
Respondents are requested to provide their comments in electronic format (Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF), along with a note specifying the software, the version number and the operating system used, to the following email address: satelliteconsultation@ic.gc.ca. Written submissions should be addressed to the Director General, Engineering, Planning and Standards Branch, Industry Canada (JETN), 235 Queen Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H5.
