Abstract
This Order establishes the legal framework, definitions, and administrative procedures governing permits for the controlled removal of fish and other aquatic animals whose populations require regulation. The service is administered by the Interregional Basin Fisheries Inspection of the Fisheries Committee under the Ministry of Agriculture.
The Rules specify that both individuals and legal entities may apply electronically through Kazakhstan’s e-government portal. Applications are submitted using a prescribed form and processed through the “E-Licensing” information system. Supporting identity and registration information is obtained automatically from government databases. The responsible authority reviews complete applications within one working day and either issues an electronic permit or provides a reasoned refusal. The service is free of charge, available through a partially digitized process, and allows applicants to track the status of their requests through their personal online accounts.
The document also details the grounds for refusal, including incomplete or inaccurate information, incorrect application forms, absence of an available removal quota, lack of consent for personal data processing, or legal restrictions on the removal of aquatic animals. It establishes procedures for administrative appeals, including review periods of five or fifteen working days depending on the reviewing authority, with possible extensions in specific circumstances. The annexes contain standardized templates for permit applications, permit forms, and reasoned refusals, as well as a table summarizing key service requirements.
