4. As part of its consideration of the environmental effects of the proposed facilities, the Board will apply the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act ("CEAA"). The Board will ensure that there is no duplication in requirements under the CEAA and the Board's own regulatory process.

5. Any answer to submissions that the Applicant wishes to present in response to items 2 and 3 of this notice of application and directions on procedure shall be filed with the Secretary of the Board and served on the party that filed the submission by July 24, 2001.
