Documents are regarded as officially submitted to the Authorities when they are routed from "L2S Authorities" in L2S to the main address, or submitted via SMIL.

5 Unofficial translation of letter from and PSA Circular letter to: Operating companies and Licensees Your ref. Our ref. (please quote in correspondence) Date OD11/371 Ptil12/200 /ILS/GRK/ELSV 17 February 2012 Use of Authorities for authority correspondence in License2Share (L2S) Background AuthorityWeb started in 2004 as a solution related to formal authority correspondence between the petroleum industry and the authorities. These authorities include the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (), the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA) and the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (). In February 2011, this solution was continued in License2Share (L2S) where the authority correspondence is administered in a separate Joint Venture (JV), which has been named Authorities. EPIM (Exploration & Production Management Association) manages the solution. L2S solution Authorities in L2S is a secure transport channel for exchanging formal electronic correspondence between the operating companies/licensees and the authorities. It was designed with a high degree of security so only the sender and recipient can read the content. The solution is facilitated with folders for correspondence between each company and the, PSA and. The authorities will always route/send to company-defined groups which should contain the company s official address. The solution provides complete traceability of all documents that are exchanged. The, PSA and are now encouraging all operating companies/licensees in L2S to use Authorities to send in formal authority correspondence. All companies that want to use L2S as a transport channel vis-à-vis the authorities, and that have signed the L2S Authorities Policy Document, will automatically gain access to relevant folders in Authorities. Circular letters issued by the authorities A common area called Common has been established in Authorities, and this area is open to all companies that have access to Authorities. This common area is only to be used for official circular letters that are addressed from the authorities to multiple recipients.

6 From 1 June 2012, the and PSA will utilise the Common area to send (route) official circular letters to all operating companies/licensees that have signed the L2S Authorities Policy Document. The companies will also be notified automatically by that the routing has been carried out. In this way we will achieve the goal of extensive digital collaboration using L2S instead of ordinary mail, and Drop zone. Section 8 of the Regulations relating to electronic communication with and in the public administration states: (1) regarding individual decisions can take place using electronic communication if the party has expressly accepted this and provided the electronic address to be used by the public administration body. According to the regulations, the authorities therefore have to secure acceptance from each company before the function of sending outgoing letters can be utilised. This will be safeguarded by EPIM sending a request to the operating companies/licensees in L2S and asking them to sign the L2S Authorities Policy Document. Recommendation We recommend that all operating companies/licensees that use the L2S solution, sign the L2S Authorities Policy Document and utilise Authorities for electronic communication. This recommendation will be followed up by EPIM with information about how this can be utilised in practice. Questions regarding this can be sent to mail@epim.no Yours sincerely, Inger Lise Strømme (sign.)
