Administrative Burden Baseline Count and Annual Updates (2022)

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 Footnote 1 on business.

Overview

The Administrative Burden count for the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) increased in 2022 during the period of July 1, 2021-June 30, 2022. This is as a result of the Accessible Transportation Planning and Reporting Regulations (ATPRR) which came into force in December 2021.

Summary

All federal regulations that are administered by the CTA with requirements imposing administrative burden on business during the reporting period are identified below.

The CTA’s total count of administrative burden requirements during the reporting period has increased from 458 on June 30, 2021 to 482 on June 30, 2022. This increase in administrative burden over the reporting period is due to the ATPRR. The original ABB count, dated back to the June 30, 2014 baseline count, was 545.
