Administrative Burden Baseline Count and Annual Updates (2019)
In its Red Tape Reduction Action Plan, the Government committed to build on the efforts of the Paperwork Burden Reduction Initiative by requiring departments and agencies, through the Administrative Burden Baseline, to provide a count of the requirements in federal regulations that impose an administrative burden on business.
Overview
During this reporting period – July 1st 2018 to June 30th 2019 – the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) registered the following four sets of regulations as part of its Regulatory Modernization Initiative (RMI):
- Phase 1 – the Accessible Transportation for Persons with Disabilities Regulations (see RIAS for details);
- Phase 2 – the Air Transportation Regulations (see RIAS for details);
- Phase 3 – the Air Passenger Protection Regulations (see RIAS for details)and,
- Phase 4 – the Rail-Related Regulations (see RIAS for details).
Only Phase 4 – the Rail-Related Regulations – had a coming into force date falling within this reporting period . Footnote 1 However, since the regulations did not result in any administrative burden impacts on business, they do not impact this assessment.
