The Environmental Impact Assessment Regulation, S.I. No. 13/1998.

These regulations, composed by nine parts, apply to all projects included in the third Schedule to the Act and to their major repairs, extensions or routine maintenance. The production of a certificate of approval of environmental impact assessment is needed before a licensing authority can issue a licence for any of the above described projects. The second part of the regulations describes the project brief (preparation, submission, approval etc.). Subsequently, the text regulates the environmental impact studies, the Environmental Impact Statement to be issued on completion of the study, the review process that follows and the final decision of the executive director on the statement. Further procedural aspects are then considered, such as the access to the environmental impact assessment reports and information, the post Assessment Environmental Audits. Miscellaneous provisions terminate the text.
