On May 16, 2019, AER issued a Bulletin 2019-11: Public Land Disposition Applications Moving in OneStop. The updates were delayed and will now be implemented effective August 22, 2019.
Starting August 22, submissions as outlined in Bulletin 2019-11 will move from the Electronic Disposition System to OneStop. The Electronic Disposition System (EDS) will not accept these submissions as of 5:00 p.m. on August 20, 2019. A system outage for both EDS and OneStop will be scheduled to implement these changes.
OneStop training sessions will be held in Calgary and Edmonton and can be found by visiting the AER Events page. If you have questions about OneStop, please contact the AER Customer Contact Centre by phone at 403-297-8311 (1-855-297-8311 toll free) or by email at [email protected].
The department has taken a phased approach to automating the business processes required to meet legislative requirements.

The Electronic Disposition System (EDS) has features that allow you to:
Clients will need to get an account and password to access EDS.
To get a GoA EDS account:

The Emergency Order for the Protection of the Greater Sage-grouse under the federal Species at Risk Act came into force on February 18, 2014.
For more information on the Order, please contact:
Canadian Wildlife Service, Environment Canada
Email: [email protected]
Toll Free: 1-800-668-6767
The Emergency Order can be viewed at: SARA Public Registry.
Due to the implementation of the Order, the Landscape Analysis Tool (LAT) will be updated to include a new Greater Sage-Grouse Emergency Order layer allowing the client to identify when any proposed activity falls within that area covered under the Order. By making the applicant aware of activities falling within this zone, they will be able to review the requirements of the Order and ensure any application submitted to the regulating bodies does not contravene the prohibitions set out in the Order.
Based on the update to the LAT, any EAP application with LAT Reports generated on or before March 14, 2014, that have not already been successfully submitted as part of a successful EAP disposition application will be automatically rejected by EDS on March 15, 2014.
The LAT is being modified to reflect an addition of a Sage Grouse Emergency Order Layer. Note that although the LAT Reports with the new federal layer will take effect as of March 15, 2014, there is an expectation that companies must not contravene the prohibitions set out in the Emergency Order as of February 18th, as indicated in the Order.
