Methods of payment of the contribution for instructional costs
The document also specifies the methods of payment of the contribution for instructional costs and the submission of the application. Upon submission of the latter, the proponent must attach the attestations of payments required for the issuance of the EIA and AIA, as well as the payment receipts for the charges required by the competent authorities for the issuance of further titles to be acquired within the single procedure. The operational guidelines contain the references that the operator must use to pay the contribution to be made out to the Central Treasury.
The next turning point
By July 30, the General Directorate for Environmental Assessments will make available, on the Mase environmental assessments and authorizations portal, the model for submitting the application and the technical specifications containing the methods for organizing the documentation to be submitted. The document clarifies that an online method for acquiring Pucd documentation “is under development” and that, on a transitional basis, the application must be transmitted either via certified email (when the documentation does not exceed 50 MB in total) or must be delivered by hand on an HD or IT support if that threshold is exceeded.
