7(1) Following the end of a year, each company must file information

Allocating fractionation credits
8(1) Fractionation credits established under this Regulation may be

section against the payment of royalty
or royalty compensation owing to the Crown in right of Alberta under
the Natural Gas Royalty Regulation, 2002 (AR 220/2002).
(2) A company shall show in information filed under

section 7 or as amended under subsection (3).
Records
9(1) Subject to subsection (2), a company shall keep all records that

a) that relate to actual ethane consumption for the years 2007 to

5-year period following the end of the term of the tagged
ethane source in accordance with
section 5(3),
(
c) that relate to eligible ethane, until the expiry of the 5-year
period following the final year in which a fractionation credit
in relation to the eligible ethane is established by the Minister
under
section 7(3), and
(
d) that are otherwise requested by the Minister, until the date or
the expiry of the period of time specified by the Minister.
(2) If the Minister is of the opinion that it is necessary for the
administration of the Mines and Minerals Act or this Regulation, the

personally, require any person required to keep records under
subsection (1) to keep the records referred to in that subsection for any
longer period specified in the direction.
(3) A person required to keep records pursuant to this
section shall, on
the request of the Minister, submit to the Minister within the time
specified by the Minister any information or record the Minister
requires.
Artificial transactions and non-compliance
10(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Regulation, if the
Minister is of the opinion that
(
a) one or more acts, agreements, arrangements, transactions or
operations were effected, whether before or after the coming
into force of this Regulation, for the purpose of improperly,
artificially or unduly obtaining or increasing the amount of
any fractionation credit, or
specified under
section 5(2)(c), any provision of this
Regulation or any provision of the Mines and Minerals Act in
relation to this Regulation,
the Minister may take any or all of the actions specified in subsection
(2).
(2) In the circumstances set out in subsection (1), the Minister may
take action as follows:
(
a) revoke the whole or any part of tagged incremental ethane
consumption for a company;
(
b) determine that all of the fractionation credits established or
allocated should not have been established or allocated;
(
c) determine that the amount of fractionation credits established
or allocated was improperly, artificially or unduly increased
and is to be reduced accordingly.
(3) If the Minister makes a determination under subsection (2), a
person in whose favour fractionation credits have been allocated is not
entitled to the fractionation credits or to the amount by which the
amount of fractionation credits is or was improperly, artificially or
unduly increased, as the case may be, and the Minister may recalculate
the royalty otherwise reduced by virtue of those fractionation credits,
disregarding those credits in doing so.
Indemnity
11 If the Minister has tagged a new ethane source under
section 5 or
has established fractionation credits under
section 7(3), the company
for which the new ethane source has been tagged or the fractionation
credit has been established, as the case may be, shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Government of Alberta against all third party claims,
demands, actions or costs, including legal costs on a solicitor-client
basis, related to, occasioned by or attributable to the company and
arising from any matter in relation to this Regulation, including
(
a) the establishing of an industry ethane consumption baseline,
(
b) the tagging of new ethane sources, and
(
c) the establishing and allocating of fractionation credits.
Expiry
12 For the purpose of ensuring that this Regulation is reviewed for
ongoing relevancy and necessity, with the option that it may be
repassed in its present or an amended form following a review, this
Regulation expires on November 30, 2017.
