Sending digital documentation
The technical specifications first explain how the technical-administrative documentation submitted with the application must be transmitted, which must be done via PEC: when the documentation does not exceed 50MB in total, the submission will be only via PEC with a Zip file attached; if, instead, the 50 MB threshold is exceeded, the submission will be done in person on a data storage device (portable hard drive or pen drive), accompanied by the printout of the application sent via PEC. In this case, the application and related documentation must be sent to Mase.
Data protection
The document also clarifies how data must be archived in the second case. It specifies, among other things, that they must be protected from “modification” and “writing” so as to make the file unalterable in its contents. And, for each file contained in the storage device, a series of information must be provided, including the name of the document and that of the applicant.

The pieces to include
Equally precise indications are those that regulate the submission of administrative documentation which must be organized in specific folders and must include, as already clarified in the operational guidelines published last week, also a copy of the receipt of payment of the contribution for carrying out the Aia procedure (the Integrated Environmental Authorization).
Technical-administrative documentation
The technical-administrative documentation (reports, maps, and images), to be published on the Mase Vas-Via-Aia environmental assessment and authorization portal, must then be prepared in PDF format and digitally signed in PAdES format. The files, it is clarified, must not exceed 30 MB in size and, in the case of higher thresholds, it will be possible to split the file into multiple parts that must be clearly linkable to each other.
