Re: Gas Export Licence Applications Pursuant to Part VI of the National Energy Board Act (NEBA): the National Energy Board (Board) released on 30 June 1999 the Canadian Energy Supply and Demand to 2025 Report (S&D 1999)

Since July 1987, the Board has been using the Market-Based Procedure (MBP) to discharge its responsibilities under section 118 of the NEBA with respect to the licensing of natural gas exports.

The MBP contains an Export Impact Assessment (EIA) component, the purpose of which is to assist the Board in its determination of whether a proposed export is likely to cause Canadians difficulty in meeting their energy requirements at fair market prices.

While the Board's previous Canadian Energy Supply and Demand 1993-2010 - Technical Report released in 1994 contained an EIA, which parties could choose to adopt, the Board's new S&D 1999 does not. However, it is anticipated that potential applicants and interested parties in gas export licensing matters may use the data and analysis contained in this new report or use any other appropriate sources that are available to them to develop their own EIAs to be filed for Board consideration.

The new S&D 1999 report is available at the Board's library located at 444 Seventh SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 0X8 or by phoning (403) 299-3562.

Yours truly,

Michel L. Mantha
Secretary
