Federal Law No. 548-FZ Amending Federal Law No. 113-FZ of 1998 "On hydro-meteorological service" and Federal Law No. 96-FZ on the protection of the atmospheric air.

This Law primarily addresses amendments to the Federal laws concerning hydrometeorological services and air quality protection. Its objectives include enhancing the regulatory framework for environmental protection, specifically in the fields of hydrometeorology and atmospheric pollution. Key legal principles highlighted include the obligation of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs to reduce pollutant emissions during adverse meteorological conditions, as well as the establishment of state policies and normative regulations in these fields. The document outlines specific measures that legal entities and entrepreneurs must undertake to mitigate emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. These measures are to be implemented according to a plan that responds to adverse meteorological conditions, which is informed by general and specialized forecasts. The document also specifies requirements for the content, development, and approval of these emission reduction plans, as well as the procedures for providing forecasts of adverse meteorological conditions to relevant authorities. Implementation of the outlined measures is the responsibility of federal executive authorities, which are tasked with establishing requirements and procedures for emission reduction activities. The document emphasizes the need for timely provision of information regarding the state of the environment and pollution levels to various stakeholders, including local governments and the public. Secondary themes include the procedural aspects of developing and approving plans, as well as the importance of stakeholder engagement in the environmental monitoring process.
