10. New Royalty Templates Standardized royalty templates to enable full electronic handling and processing Released to Industry in March 2011 for trial use and feedback Industry has not identified any specific issues with the templates Internal business review highlighted a few instances where business practice and regulations were not fully aligned –Led to some revisions in the royalty templates –No retroactive filing amendments are required Templates will be re-released on DOE oil sands website in Nov 2011 DOE will provide a review session on the changes to the royalty templates (Nov 2011 – upcoming IB will address) 10

11. Royalty Form Submission Oil Sands royalty forms will be submitted through a new interface on the department’s Electronic Transfer System (ETS) – Calendar Feb 2012. Submissions through ETS will include: –Royalty forms –Statement of Approval –Audit Opinions (where required) –Other supporting documents Submissions will be received daily – processing frequency will be nightly. ETS will validate form submitter. OASIS will perform the validation on the content of the royalty submissions - Calendar Sept 2012. Operators will receive a submission confirmation notification that the submission has been sent to OASIS for validation/calculation – Calendar Sept 2012. 11

12. Validating Royalty Forms OASIS will validate information within each royalty submission and a submission turnaround document will be sent back through ETS identifying any errors and/or rejections. Defined business rules for each royalty submission type. The form validation rules will be communicated to Industry. Must use OASIS compliant templates (with no modifications) otherwise form will be rejected. A rejected submission, that is not resubmitted before the filing deadline, will be deemed to be not filed or ‘missing’. Penalties are automatically generated for missing submissions. 12

13. Royalty Calculation Royalty will be calculated using inputs from the Operator’s submissions and the royalty components on department records (e.g., royalty rate, BVM, LTBR). Prior period amendments will trigger an automatic recalculation of carry forward balances, etc. A Submission Turnaround Document identifying the department’s royalty calculation will be provided. A Payout Balance Report will be issued once a month to identify the cumulative costs and cumulative revenues to help manage project payout balances. A monthly Statement of Account summarizing charges and payments will be generated around the 5 th business day of the month. All OASIS generated reports will be provided to Operators through ETS in pdf format. Key reports will also be available in xml format. 13
