Context paragraphs:
Alberta Energy Regulator: The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) is an Alberta corporation, with its main office in Calgary, Alberta.  The Alberta Energy Regulator's mandate under the "Responsible Energy Development Act", passed on 10 December 2012 and proclaimed on 17 June 2013, is to provide safe, efficient, orderly, and environmentally responsible development of energy resources in the province.  Under the "REDA", the Alberta Government established the AER in December 2012 to provide a one-stop shop for regulatory approvals after industry complained about the delays and costs of red tape.  The legislation combined duties of the Energy Resources Conservation Board with responsibilities of Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development to create a single entity to administer the Public Lands Act, the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act and the Water Act.  The AER operates at arm’s length from the Government of Alberta, under an appointed board of directors headed by Chair Gerry Protti, a former president of the oil industry lobby Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, and CEO Jim Ellis, appointed by Energy Minister Ken Hughes (politician).  On 17 June 2013, all regulatory functions previously carried out by the Energy Resources Conservation Board were taken over by the Alberta Energy Regulator.

Appalachian Development Highway System: The Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS) is part of the Appalachian Regional Commission in the United States.  It consists of a series of highway corridors in the Appalachia region of the eastern United States.

It was established as part of the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965, and has been repeatedly supplemented by various federal and state legislative and regulatory actions.  The system consists of a mixture of state, U.S., and Interstate routes.  The routes are formally designated as "corridors" and assigned a letter.  Signage of these corridors varies from place to place, but where signed are often done so with a distinctive blue-colored sign.

Development regions of Romania: The development regions of Romania (Romanian "Regiunile de dezvoltare ale României") refer to the eight regional divisions created in Romania in 1998 in order to better co-ordinate regional development as Romania progressed towards accession to the European Union.  The development regions correspond to NUTS II-level divisions in European Union member states.  Despite becoming increasingly significant in regional development projects, Romania's development regions do not actually have an administrative status and do not have a legislative or executive council or government.  Rather, they serve a function for allocating European Union PHARE funds for regional development, as well as for collection of regional statistics.  They also co-ordinate a range of regional development projects and became members of the Committee of the Regions when Romania joined the EU on January 1, 2007.

County and City Enterprise Board: Ireland's County & City Enterprise Boards (CCEBs) were established in 1993, as companies limited by guarantee, during a time of high unemployment (15.1%) and limited opportunity for business.  They were given statutory status under the Industrial Development Act of 1995.  Essentially they were created to stimulate economic development and to cultivate an ethos of local entrepreneurship.  While their role is primarily a local one within a broader national strategy, their importance has been raised to an international level by the emphasis placed on entrepreneurship, innovation, incubation and balanced regional development by the European Union.
