Final reports 187 (1) An operator must ensure that a final operations report, final data processing report and final interpretation report are submitted to the Board with the acquired data referred to in subsection (5), as applicable, within 12 months after the day on which any geoscientific program, geotechnical program or environmental program is concluded, unless a longer period has been agreed to in writing by the Board. Content of final operations report (2) The final operations report must contain the following documents and information: (a) the program number assigned by the Board; (b) the title, author and date of the report; (c) an executive summary and table of contents; (d) the names of the operator, contractors and any interest owner , as defined in section 49 of the Act; (e) a description of all operation sites and any support craft used for the program; (f) a description of the program, including (i) key dates, in particular its commencement, suspension and completion dates, (ii) the equipment used, (iii) the operational methods employed, (iv) the number of persons who were involved in the program, and (v) the quantity of data collected, broken down by data acquisition technique; (g) location maps illustrating details of the data acquisition activities carried out under the program, including the identification and location of data collection points, lines or areas and the type of data acquired; (h) location maps illustrating the boundaries of each area covered by the program and any portion of those areas that is subject to an interest , as defined in section 49 of the Act, as well as the identification number of each such interest; (i) a schedule that specifies the type and duration of all program activities and includes any period in which data acquisition was delayed or interrupted; (j) an indication as to the accuracy of the navigation system and of the positioning and survey systems, as well as the parameters and configuration of both the energy source and recording system; and (k) shotpoint maps, track plots, flight lines with numbered fiducial points, gravity station maps, location maps for any samples or core holes, copies of any photographs and a list of any videos. Content of final data processing report (3) The final data processing report must contain the following documents and information: (a) the documents and information referred to in paragraphs (2)(a) to (d), (g) and (k); (b) a description of the program, including the quantity of data collected, broken down by data acquisition technique; and (c) a description of the geoscientific data acquired, including the data processing sequence and parameters. Content of final interpretation report (4) The final interpretation report must contain the following documents and information, as applicable: (a) the documents and information referred to in paragraphs (2)(a) to (e); (b) bathymetric or topographic maps compiled from the data collected; (c) a description and interpretive maps of the acquired data, including (i) time and depth structure and isopach maps, velocity and residual velocity maps and seismic attribute maps, (ii) final Bouguer gravity maps and any residual or other processed gravity maps, (iii) final total magnetic intensity contour maps and any residual, gradient or other processed magnetic maps, (iv) final controlled-source electromagnetic resistivity maps, (v) surficial maps generated from any seabed, geohazard or pipeline route survey, and (vi) any geological maps; (d) a description and analysis of the interpretation of the data with respect to (i) geological and geophysical correlations, (ii) correlations between gravity, magnetic, seismic and controlled-source electromagnetic data, including correlations to any data acquired during previous surveys, (iii) in the case of seabed surveys, the geophysical correlation between shallow seismic data and data from cores and geotechnical boreholes, (iv) corrections or adjustments that were appl
