Main contents: According to the revised Regulations, environmental impact registration forms will be subject to the record filing system rather than the examination and approval system.
The timing for submission of the environmental impact report and report form is changed from the feasibility study stage to prior to the commencement of construction, with the relationship between the examination and approval of environmental impact assessments and the examination and approval of investments changing from “successive linkage” to “simultaneous linkage”. Pre-requisite examination and approval procedures for environmental impact assessments such as preliminary review by the competent industry department are abolished, and the environmental impact assessment is decoupled from business registration.
