Abstract
The document establishes detailed rules for issuing, renewing, revising, amending, and revoking integrated environmental permits. These permits apply primarily to facilities of Category I that have significant environmental impact and may also apply to Category II facilities when supported by sectoral technical reference documents on Best Available Techniques.
The Rules outline a comprehensive administrative procedure for applicants—legal entities or individual entrepreneurs—who must submit electronic applications through the national industrial information system. The territorial bodies of the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources (Rosprirodnadzor) verify the application, coordinate reviews with various federal and regional authorities, and issue decisions within strict timelines. The process includes automatic format logical checks, multi stage expert review, mechanisms for handling comments, deadlines for corrections, and conditions under which applications are accepted, revised, approved, or refused. Permits are issued for seven years, can be extended under defined conditions, and may be partially or fully revised when technological changes occur.
Additionally, the Rules address special cases such as installations participating in the national experiment on emissions quota setting, requiring permits to include emission quotas and corresponding action plans. They regulate the re issuance of permits when legal organizational details of the operator change, the introduction of amendments upon request, and procedures for correcting technical errors. The document also provides the legal basis for revoking permits, including judicial revocation in cases of prolonged non compliance, and mandates the publication of all decisions in official systems, ensuring transparency and traceability through a digital registry and QR coded extracts.
