YESAB
administers an assessment process that is carried out
by Designated Offices, an Executive Committee of
the Board and Panels
of the Board.
The broad parameters of our assessment process are set out in
the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act
(YESAA). Rules, established by YESAB,
provide a detailed framework to guide the conduct of evaluations [assessments] at all three levels of assessment.
Assessments under YESAA have been in effect since November 2005.
