It would seem that the majority of natural resource users are registered as objects of negative impact on environment(ONVOS) back in December 2016, at the beginning of 2017. But, based on the comments, I understand that registering objects that have a negative impact (NVOS objects) is still a problem for some enterprises.

Ask a Question

Enterprises registered as objects of the 4th category NVOS, as well as non-category ones, have practically disappeared from under the gaze of supervisory authorities. Carrying out scheduled inspections against them is impossible! For this category of enterprises, only unscheduled inspections are possible.

Registration of an NVOS object

An object that has a negative impact on the environment, - an object capital construction and (or) another object, as well as their combination, united by a single purpose and (or) inextricably linked physically or technologically and located within one or more land plots;

Article 1 Federal Law dated January 10, 2002 No. 7-FZ "On Environmental Protection"

Those. It turns out that each individual industrial site of the enterprise is an object of negative impact on the environment (NEI).

The criteria for classifying objects that have a negative impact on the environment as objects of categories 1, 2, 3, 4 were approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated September 28, 2018 No. 1029.

An object that has a negative impact on the environment is assigned the appropriate category when it is registered with the state as objects that have a negative impact on the environment. may be changed when accounting information about an object that has a negative impact on the environment is updated.

Clause 4 of Article 4.2. Federal Law of January 10, 2002 No. 7-FZ "On Environmental Protection"

State registration of objects that have a negative impact on the environment is carried out in the form of maintaining a state register of objects that have a negative impact on the environment, which represents, the creation and operation of which are carried out in accordance with this Federal Law, legislation Russian Federation about information information technology and on information protection and other regulatory legal acts.

Clause 3 of Article 69 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002 No. 7-FZ “On Environmental Protection”

Objects that have a negative impact on the environment are subject to
for state registration legal entities and individual entrepreneurs carrying out economic and (or) other activities at the specified facilities, in the federal body authorized by the Government of the Russian Federation executive power or an executive body of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation in accordance with their competence.

Clause 1 of Article 69.2 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002 No. 7-FZ “On Environmental Protection”

Application form for state registration, containing information for inclusion in the state register of objects that have a negative impact on the environment, including in the form electronic documents, signed by enhanced qualified electronic signature, approved by the authorized Government of the Russian Federation federal body executive power.

Clause 3 of Article 69.2 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002 No. 7-FZ “On Environmental Protection”

The application form was approved by order of the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources dated December 23, 2015 No. 554.

Thus, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs carrying out economic and (or) other activities were required to register their ENVOS facilities with the state by 01/01/2017.

State registration of objects that have a negative impact on the environment is carried out on the basis of an application for state registration, which is submitted by legal entities or individual entrepreneurs no later than six months from the date of commencement of operation of these objects.

Clause 2 of Article 69.2 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002 No. 7-FZ “On Environmental Protection”

Criteria for registering objects that have a negative impact

An article has been written in detail on the criteria for registering objects that have a negative impact.

Registration of facilities providing NVOS - comments

Above it is written in some detail who should register, in what time frame they should register... And now about registering objects that have a negative impact (NVOS objects) - in your own words:

• if your enterprise emits , then it is definitely an ENVOS;
• if your enterprise produces only , there are no emissions and discharges of pollutants (pollutants), or the total amount of emissions does not exceed 10.0 tons/year and there are no pollutants of hazard class 1, 2 in the emissions - feel free to declare category 4 ENVOS - the most convenient category for enterprises (see the first paragraph of this article);
• if your enterprise’s emissions contain pollutants of hazard classes 1 and 2, then you must declare category 3 ENVOS;
• if the total amount of emissions exceeds 10.0 tons per year, then you must also declare category 3 ENVOS.

Deadline for registering an NVOS object

Regarding the timing of registration as an object of the Taxpayer Inspectorate:

• if the enterprise carried out its economic activity until 2017, then the registration deadline for them is 01/01/2017. They will no longer be able to prosecute you for this violation, since the statute of limitations for the violation has expired! It is important.
• If you put the object into operation, then the period for registration is six months from the date of commissioning. If more than six months have passed since the date of commencement of operation (commissioning), then administrative liability is imposed under Article 8.46. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation - legal!

Updating information on ENVOS

Information about objects that have a negative impact on the environment must be updated in connection with the provision of information by legal entities and individual entrepreneurs:
- about replacement legal entity or individual entrepreneur, carrying out economic and (or) other activities at a facility that has a negative impact on the environment, reorganization of a legal entity in the form of transformation, a change in its name, address (location), as well as a change in the last name, first name, patronymic (if any) , place of residence of an individual entrepreneur, details of his identity document;
- about changing the location of an object that has a negative impact on the environment;
-on changes in the characteristics of technological processes of main industries, sources of environmental pollution;
-on changes in the characteristics of technical means for the neutralization of emissions, discharges of pollutants, technologies for the use, neutralization and disposal of production and consumption waste.

Clause 6 of Article 69.2 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002 No. 7-FZ “On Environmental Protection”

In your own words, you must update the information about the NVOS object in the following cases:

• changes in legal address,
• changes in actual address,
• changes in the full name, place of residence of the individual entrepreneur, details of his documents;
• changes in the economic entity on the specified ENVOS (for example, if the site was leased);
• if you have had a change in the technological processes for which you are registered as ENVOS;
• if there have been changes in the sources of emissions of harmful pollutants;
• in case you submit

Otherwise, you may be prosecuted under Article 8.46 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Deregistration of an NVOS object

If changes have occurred at your NVOS facility: the object is mothballed, the object does not have the impact on the environment declared in the application for registration (for example: a boiler room, a welding station has been dismantled... or another source of pollutant emission in the air pollutants for which you are registered as an NEE object), then you need exclude the specified object from the ENVOS register.

This must be done in mandatory, otherwise, if your object belongs to ENVOS categories 1-3, the specified object may be included in the register of scheduled inspections.

Clause 33 of the Rules for the creation and maintenance of the state register of facilities providing NVOS, approved. By Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated June 23, 2016 No. 572, exclusion of an object from the state register is possible if a copy of the act on conservation and liquidation of the object is provided (upon termination of activity).

Inaccurate information in the application for registration as an object of an economic assessment

When registering, an enterprise must provide reliable information in the application about an object that has a negative impact on the environment. Otherwise, if discovered, it will constitute an administrative offense.

In accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 69 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002 No. 7-FZ “On Environmental Protection”, state registration of objects that have a negative impact on the environment, carried out in order to obtain reliable information about objects that have a negative impact on the environment, determining areas of application of the best available technologies, applying program-targeted planning methods, as well as for the purpose of planning the implementation of state environmental supervision.
According to paragraph 2 of Article 69.2 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002 No. 7-FZ “On Environmental Protection,” state registration of objects that have a negative impact on the environment is carried out on the basis of an application for state registration, which is submitted by legal entities or individual entrepreneurs no later than six months from the date of commencement of operation of these facilities.

According to paragraph 4 of Article 69 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002 No. 7-FZ “On Environmental Protection”, the state register of objects that have a negative impact on the environment includes, in particular, the name, organizational and legal
form and address (location) of a legal entity carrying out economic and (or) other activities at a facility that has a negative impact on the environment, information about the actual location and category of the facility that has a negative impact on the environment.

The application for registration contains the following information:

A) name, legal form and address (location) of the legal entity or surname, first name, patronymic (if any), place of residence, date state registration individual entrepreneur carrying out economic and (or) other activities at the facility, indicating the taxpayer identification number of a legal entity, individual entrepreneur and the reason code for registration with tax authorities legal entity, individual entrepreneur;
b) information about the actual location of the object, including its name (address or place of registration of the mobile source moving the object) indicating the code by All-Russian classifier territories municipalities by location of the object and by category of the object;
V) information about the type of economic and (or) other activity, the volume of products (goods) produced, the work performed, the services provided , including species codes economic activity legal entities, individual entrepreneurs operating at the site, according to the All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities;
G) information on the availability of a conclusion of the state environmental examination and (or) a conclusion of the state examination project documentation when they are carried out and in cases provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation on environmental assessment, legislation on urban planning activities;
d) information on stationary sources of emissions of pollutants into the atmospheric air indicating their geographical coordinates;
e) information on the level and (or) volume or mass of emissions of pollutants in relation to each stationary source of emissions of pollutants into the atmospheric air;
and) information on sources of discharge of pollutants into surface and underground water bodies (places of wastewater discharge) indicating their geographical coordinates;
h) information on the level and (or) volume or mass of pollutant discharges in relation to each source of discharge of pollutants into surface and underground water bodies;
And) information on the volume or mass of disposed production and consumption waste , including for each type and hazard class of waste;

m) information about the industrial environmental control program ;
m) information on measures to reduce negative impacts on the environment ;

P) information on measures to reduce negative impacts on the environment.

Clause 5 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated June 23, 2016 N 572 "On approval of the Rules for the creation and maintenance of the state register of objects that have a negative impact on the environment"

Thus, if you provided false data on the points listed above in your application for registration, then this constitutes an administrative offense.

If an application with false data was submitted more than a year ago, then the statute of limitations for the specified violation has expired. This means that there will be no fine, but you must be given an order to eliminate violations!

Registration of objects that have a negative impact - fine

Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation Article 8.46. Failure to fulfill or untimely fulfillment of the obligation to submit an application for state registration of objects that have a negative impact on the environment, to provide information to update registration information

Failure to fulfill or untimely fulfillment of the obligation to submit an application for state registration of objects that have a negative impact on the environment, to provide information to update registration information -
entails overlay administrative fine on officials in the amount of five thousand up to twenty thousand rubles; for legal entities - from thirty thousand up to one hundred thousand rubles.
Note . For an administrative offense provided for by this article, a person carrying out entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity shall bear administrative responsibility as a legal entity.

As you can see, this article can only be applied for the fact that the application for registration was not submitted at all or was submitted untimely, for untimely updating of information in the application or for non-updating.

Again, if the offense was committed more than a year ago, then, due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, you no longer have the right to be held administratively liable for these offenses.

If you provided false information in your application, then this is part of Article 8.5. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:

Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation Article 8.5. Hiding or distorting environmental information

Concealment, deliberate distortion or untimely reporting of complete and reliable information contained in an application for state registration of objects that have a negative impact on the environment by persons obliged to report such information,
entails the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of five hundred to one thousand rubles; for officials - from three thousand up to six thousand rubles; for legal entities - from twenty thousand up to eighty thousand rubles.

In order to determine whether an enterprise needs to register objects that have a negative impact on the environment (NEI) on the State Register, you first need to figure out which enterprises belong to this category of objects. Law No. 7-FZ of January 10, 2002 provides a rather vague definition of this concept. NVOS objects here are enterprises connected by common activities and territorial location.

More precise definition The NVOS for objects is given in a letter with explanations from Rosprirodnadzor dated December 13, 2016 No. AS-03-04-36/25233. Based on its content, the objects of the NVOS are enterprises located on the territory of the Russian Federation, whose field of activity falls under the criteria established by the Government of the Russian Federation in Order No. 1029 of September 28, 2015, and according to them they are classified as objects 1,2,3 or 4 hazard categories. At the same time, enterprises can act either in the form of a legal entity or as an individual entrepreneur.

We will quickly and professionally register NVOS objects. Cost – from 10 tr. Terms – from 1 day.

For such enterprises, registration with the state is mandatory. The requirements for this are established by Order No. 572 of June 23, 2016. If the object does not meet the criteria of the above Order No. 1029, then, accordingly, it is not an object of the NVOS and is not registered. Those objects that are at the construction stage and have not currently been put into operation are also not registered with the state. They will submit an application for inclusion in the register after the start of operation, but no later than within six months.

Specific examples of registering NVOS objects.

Registration is also required for those organizations whose activities comply with Government Decree No. 903 of August 28, 2015, according to which they are objects subject to state environmental supervision.

In addition, maintaining a state register is also necessary for such data as information on emissions, discharges and waste generated at production facilities.

Registration of enterprises with state registration is carried out by regulatory organizations free of charge.

Registration is not required for those enterprises whose activities are accompanied only by the generation, transportation and accumulation of waste, provided that there are no other possible areas negative influence on the environment.

The direct requirements for maintaining state records are set out in Article 69 of Law No. 7-FZ. Responsibilities for its maintenance are assigned to territorial bodies Rosprirodnadzor and executive authorities territorially located at the location of the subordinate objects of the Environmental Protection Agency. The register is maintained in in electronic format, which allows others to receive information public services and structures.

Filling out an application for setting up an enterprise.

The basis for including an enterprise in the NVOS register is an application submitted by the enterprise to regulatory organizations. The application is submitted by the direct owner production facility. If the property is operated on the basis of a lease agreement, the applicant is the tenant.

Filling out an application for on paper undesirable, since the register is maintained electronically. It is preferable to fill out applications in the “Nature User Module” software package.

Order of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation No. 554 establishes the required application form. The application must be certified with the electronic signature of a representative of the organization. Each application is assigned an individual number.

The application requires information such as

• name of company,
• location address,
• information about state registration,
• manager data.

The next section of the application is information about the object. These include:

• date of commencement of operation of the enterprise,
• field of activity,
• data on production technology,
• product information and production capacity NVOS object,
• data on the hazard category of the object in relation to the environment,
• information on the level of state environmental supervision.

In what cases is a draft MPE and VAT required?

When filling out the application, you will need information characterizing the enterprise as an object of environmental impact. Such information includes data

• about stationary sources of emissions,
• about emitted pollutants,
• about the volume of discharge,
• as well as data on generated waste and methods of handling it.

The next column of the application is a list of permits for the enterprise, such as permits for emissions, discharges or waste disposal. Data on the environmental assessment of the enterprise are also discussed here.

This information, as a rule, is found in the relevant environmental projects: MPE (emissions project), VAT (discharges project), PNOOLR (waste project).

Often the organization does not have a draft MPE. Is it possible to do without it?

The answer is YES. However, in this case, a part of it will be required, namely an emissions inventory project, from which it will be possible to obtain information about the nature of sources, pollutants, geographic coordinates, etc.

At the same time, the resource user will still be responsible for developing a draft MPE.

The same applies to the VAT project.

The last section of the application is information about measures and means developed and implemented at the enterprise directly for the purpose of protecting the environment and reducing the negative impact of the production process. This is an approved program for production control or monitoring of the enterprise, a list of environmental measures, as well as technical means and equipment. All this is designed to reduce the harmful effects of discharges, emissions or waste disposal, or aimed at their complete neutralization.

Filling out an application for registration of NVOS objects.

The required information is collected directly at the enterprise by its structures and divisions. The head of the enterprise with the NVOS facility is responsible for the information provided.

When filling out the application, do not forget that deliberate concealment of information or distortion of real data can result in significant fines for the enterprise in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses (Article 8.5 - up to 80 thousand rubles for an eagle). Also, the provision of incorrect information by the enterprise may serve as a reason for refusal to register the enterprise with the state. The refusal may also be based on incomplete information provided by the production facility.

After receiving the application by the territorial authorized bodies of Rosprirodnadzor, the information provided is checked. Self-registration of an object is carried out within 10 days. The result of the registration is the receipt by the enterprise of an electronic certificate of registration of its objects with an NVOS.

If the information provided by the enterprise incorrectly defines the hazard category for it, it may be changed. Subsequently, the category corresponding to the activity of the enterprise is entered into the register and into the certificate of state registration it receives.

Changing previously provided information and removing the enterprise from state registration.

The rules on changes in the information provided or the removal of an enterprise from state registration are regulated by Law No. 219-FZ.

In case of changes in the information of a production facility that was previously registered, information about them must be provided to the controlling organization no later than 30 days from the date of entry into force of the changes. Such changes include:

• change of legal entity, location address, form of ownership, as well as changes in the technological process or in processes and technical means to ensure a reduction in the impact on the environment.
• For individual entrepreneurs, the changes also affect the data of the identity document.

After changing the previously provided information in the registry data, the enterprise is issued a corresponding certificate of updating the data of the NEVS object.

When the owner of a production facility provides documents on conservation or liquidation of production, the facility is removed from the NVOS state accounting. In this case, the owner receives a certificate of the established form. These functions are performed by a subordinate state organization located at the location of the enterprise,

Responsibility for failure to comply with the requirements for mandatory registration of NVOS facilities.

The Code of Administrative Offenses also provides for an article for failure to comply with the requirements for registering enterprises with the state. This is Article 8.46, the amount of penalties under which for a legal entity is up to 100 thousand rubles. This violation can cost an official up to 20 thousand.

Changes in environmental legislation oblige legal entities and individual entrepreneurs carrying out economic or other activities to register with the state objects that have a negative impact on the environment (hereinafter referred to as NVOS).

State registration of objects providing NVOS is carried out on the basis of an application for state registration. The application must be submitted within six months from the date of commissioning of the facility. In addition to the specified period, it is also determined total term Registration of facilities providing NVOS is January 1, 2017. Before the specified deadline, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs were required to register with the state the facilities providing NVOS. The deadline is established by paragraph 3 of Article 11 of the Federal Law of July 21, 2014. No. 219-FZ “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Environmental Protection” and certain legislative acts Russian Federation".

In accordance with the state registration of objects providing NVOS, it is carried out in the form of maintaining a state register of objects providing NVOS. The objects included in this register are under state control environmental supervision carried out by Rosprirodnadzor. Rosprirodnadzor determines what level of control (regional or federal) a particular facility providing NVOS belongs to.

The application is submitted to Rosprirodnadzor, where within 10 days the facility providing NVOS is registered with the state. Also, the object providing NVOS is assigned a code and category, and a legal entity or individual entrepreneur is issued a certificate of state registration of this object.

Legal entities or individual entrepreneurs are required to notify Rosprirodnadzor within 30 days if the following changes occur:

• replacement of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur carrying out economic or other activities at a facility providing NVOS, reorganization of a legal entity in the form of transformation, change of its name, address (location), as well as change of surname, name, patronymic (if any), place of residence individual entrepreneur, details of his identity document;
• change in the location of the facility providing NVOS;
• changes in the characteristics of technological processes of main industries, sources of environmental pollution;
• changes in the characteristics of technical means for the neutralization of emissions, discharges of pollutants, technologies for the use, neutralization and disposal of production and consumption waste.

After notifying Rosprirodnadzor, within no more than 10 working days, a certificate is issued on updating the accounting information about the facility providing NVOS.

If a legal entity or individual entrepreneur ceases to operate at the facility, then an act of liquidation or conservation of the facility must be submitted. Within 10 working days from the date of submission of the relevant information and documents, a certificate of deregistration of the facility providing NVOS from state registration is issued.

Registration of objects with the state, updating of accounting information about the object, deregistration of the object providing NVOS from state registration is carried out without charging a fee.

Responsibility for failure to fulfill the obligation to timely submit an application for registration of an object providing NVOS, as well as information for updating accounting information entails administrative liability provided for in Article 8.46 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses:

• imposition of an administrative fine on officials in the amount of 5,000 to 25,000 rubles; for legal entities - from 30,000 to 100,000 rubles.

For an administrative offense provided for by this article, a person carrying out entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity bears administrative liability as a legal entity.

Registration of facilities providing NVOS also has an economic incentive to fulfill this obligation. So, according to clause 1 of Article 16.1 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002. No. 7-FZ “On Environmental Protection”:

Payments for negative impacts on the environment are required to be made by legal entities and individual entrepreneurs operating on the territory of the Russian Federation, continental shelf Russian Federation and in the exclusive economic zone of the Russian Federation economic and (or) other activities that have a negative impact on the environment (hereinafter referred to as persons obligated to pay a fee), with the exception of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs carrying out economic and (or) other activities exclusively at category IV facilities.

The categories of objects that provide NVOS are described in Article 4.2 of the Federal Law dated , and the criteria for classifying an object into a particular category are described in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated September 28, 2015. No. 1029.

If you, as an individual or legal entity, are conducting business activities and have objects on the balance sheet of your enterprise that have a negative impact on the environment (NEI), then before January 1, 2017 you need to take care of something. The fact is that, according to the order of the Ministry Natural resources and Ecology dated January 1, 2015, all facilities providing NVOS must be registered with the state within two years.

In order to do this, you need to correctly fill out and submit the application to authorized body executive power. Of course, this is quite a headache for those who do this. In this article, we will take a detailed look at the instructions for filling out an application for setting up a facility that provides NVOS. First, let's understand the basic concepts.

Object providing NVOS. What is this?

An object that has a negative impact on the environment is “a capital construction object and/or another object, as well as their combination, united for a single purpose and/or inextricably linked physically or technologically and located within one or more land plots” (Article 1 Federal Law No. 7)

This means that several separate buildings can be designed as one object, provided that they serve the same purpose. It is not necessary that they be in the same territory. Example: different workshops of the same enterprise. At the same time, if on the site, in addition to workshops, there is also an office building, then it can either be registered as an independent object, or not registered if it does not meet the criteria of the NVOS.

What is meant by negative impact on the environment? According to Federal Law No. 7, Article 16, NVOS comes in several types:

• Emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere
• Discharge of pollutants and microorganisms into land or The groundwater, as well as watersheds
• Disposal of production and consumption waste
• Subsoil and soil contamination
• Other types of physical impacts on the environment: noise, thermal pollution, electromagnetic radiation, and so on
• Other types of negative impact on the environment

Regarding the last four points, the state has not yet decided how to define such pollution and how to charge for it. For other types of environmental pollution, there are standards according to which payment is calculated depending on the volume of pollution.

Here's what it looks like in practice. You own a car wash. Your car wash has a stationary source of pollution - you use water for production needs and discharge it along with other chemicals. This means that in any case you will have to register the car wash as an entity that provides NVOS. If the volume of discharged substances is more than 10 tons per year, you will pay for the NWTP according to the standard.

In 2014, the state reworked main law Federal Law No. 7 “On Environmental Protection”. One of the main innovations: now all NVOS objects are divided into 4 categories.

1. Objects that have a significant NVOS. There are only about five hundred such facilities throughout the country. These include enterprises that produce emissions of substances of the first and second hazard classes, that is, substances that pose the greatest threat to public health and the environment. They are usually involved in the metallurgical and chemical industries, mining and processing of minerals, energy production, waste disposal and disposal, and so on.
2. Objects that have a moderate NVOS. Objects of category II submit an environmental impact statement as reporting. In fact, the second category includes facilities engaged in the same types of activities as in the first, but with lower emissions: oil production and refining, production of coke and petroleum products, production of paper, cardboard, pulp, food and others. Objects are highlighted separately transport infrastructure: large river and sea ​​ports, airports, railway stations. They also belong to category II.
3. Objects that have a minor environmental impact. Category III includes objects that have a stationary source of pollution. The volume of emissions into the atmosphere exceeds 10 tons per year, there are no emissions of chemicals of the 1st and 2nd hazard classes. If an enterprise uses water for industrial needs, it is also assigned category III. Household needs are not considered. Objects of categories I, II and III must have an industrial environmental control (PEC) program at the enterprise, that is, keep strict records of all discharges and emissions and provide reporting.
4. Objects that provide minimal environmental impact. These include schools, hospitals, office rooms. Such facilities may have a stationary source of pollution, but the volume of emissions should not exceed 10 tons per year. Water is used only for domestic needs and is discharged into the city sewerage system. Objects of category IV do not pay for the NVOS and are exempt from all scheduled inspections.

Summarize. In order to determine which category your business falls into, you need to consider several points:

1. Substances of hazard classes 1 and 2. If you emit such substances into the atmosphere, your facility is automatically classified as category I or II. Then everything depends on the volumes.
2. Water for industrial needs. If your enterprise discharges wastewater generated during the production process, and not just as household waste, then it belongs to category III.
3. Stationary source of emissions. No more than 10 tons per year. Provided that your facility meets this requirement and does not use water in production, it will fall into category IV. All you have to do is keep track of your emissions to provide accurate numbers.

Instructions for filling out an application for registration of facilities providing NVOS

Having a clear understanding of the basic concepts related to registering NVO objects, filling out an application is not so difficult. If you do not fill out an application electronically on the government services website, you can easily download the current application form on the Internet. After you register your property, it will be included in the Federal Register of Facilities That Have a Negative Impact on the Environment. This register will contain exactly the information about your property that you indicate in the application.

At the very beginning it is indicated general information: name, legal form and address of location (for a legal entity) or place of residence (for individual). The date of state registration of the individual entrepreneur is also indicated, an identification number taxpayer and reason code for registration with the tax authorities.

The information provided on the application is then divided into four sections.

1. Information about the object. In this section you need to indicate:
   • The address of the object and its geographical coordinates of four corner points. They are usually indicated in cadastral passport, they can also be easily found, for example, using Google maps. Also, along with the name, the code according to the All-Russian Classifier of Municipal Territories is indicated.
   • Type of activity, volume of goods produced, services provided and codes according to the All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activities.
   • Information for objects of category I

Information about the impact of the object on the environment. In this section you need to indicate which stationary sources of air pollutant emissions are present at your facility. For each stationary source, the volume or mass of emissions is indicated.

Next - information about the sources of wastewater discharge according to the same scheme: source and volume of discharge per year. Information on the disposal of production waste for each facility is also indicated. This information includes the types of waste, its mass, coordinates of the waste disposal site and the number of the waste disposal facility in state register(if he is).

2. Information about permitting documents in the field of environmental protection. Here you can find the details of documents that permit you to have an impact on the environment.
3. Information on measures taken to ensure environmental protection. The plant director must confirm that the facility is implementing an industrial environmental control program. You can specify the date of approval of the PEC. The following information is provided below.
   • Information about measures to reduce harmful emissions. It is necessary to indicate what activities are being carried out and whether they have been agreed upon with regional control authorities.
   • Information about technical means for neutralizing harmful chemicals. Name, technical characteristics, operating efficiency.
   • Information on technical means for cleaning pollutant discharges. Also, name, characteristics, efficiency.
   • Information on technologies for the safe disposal of waste of hazard classes 1-5 (if such waste exists). It is also necessary to describe how environmental monitoring is carried out at waste disposal sites.

All this information relates to the three main types of environmental pollution for which NVOS are currently recorded.

When establishing their functioning, business entities must undergo Various types registration, except for the main one – tax. This is due to the fact that entrepreneurial activity is not only about filling state budget through taxes, but also through general economic significance, and also has connections with other areas government organization. Objects that are classified as entrepreneurial are registered with Rosprirodnadzor.

Why is registration necessary?

The process of registering all businesses is significant in the analysis and compilation of the overall economic picture of the state. In addition to statistical data, registration helps state regulatory authorities keep records of business facilities, including those that negatively affect the environmental picture.

The registration process is accompanied by a negative impact, which determines the level of compensation paid by these objects to the state. It is registration that makes it possible to collect all the necessary data for maintaining records and controlling entrepreneurship, and in the case of environmental problems, to identify their cause and hold the culprit responsible.

In addition, the process of compensating for losses caused to nature is accompanied by mandatory reporting and payment sums of money, for control of which, in fact, it is necessary to keep records of business objects.

How does registration work?

Registration of objects with a negative impact on the environment is accompanied by the submission of an application from this object in the established form. It is filled out on the basis of computer software, such as a natural resource management module, for example. It contains complete information both on the object itself and on the emissions it produces, a description of the natural sphere of these emissions, and also reflects the receipt of all documentary permits necessary for the actions of the business object.

Statement accounting for objects that have a negative impact may be accompanied by entering data into the federal and regional register, depending on the scale of the activity. This is done within ten days after a positive decision on registration. In the event that an application is submitted to a regional local authority and a decision is made to redirect it to federal register, the entrepreneur will receive notification in writing.

Objects of negative impact may not be registered with the state. For example, due to data not fully reflected in the application documents. Then the entrepreneur, five days after submitting the application, may receive a notice of refusal indicating the reason.

Registration of NVOS objects with the state is considered successful if, ten days after submitting the application documents, the entrepreneur received a certificate of registration.

The essence of categories

In the process of submitting an application for registration of NVOS objects, it displays all the necessary information that Rosprirodnadzor needs to categorize a business object.

This process results in the assignment of a certain category of danger, which will affect the amount of material compensation paid by the business entity to the state. There are four categories in total, divided depending on how much business activity threatens the environment:

• The first category includes those business entities that cause significant harm to the natural environment, and therefore require the use of the best available protective technologies in this area.
• The second category is intended for business entities whose negative impact can be classified as moderate.
• The third category unites those businesses whose negative impact can be considered insignificant.
• The fourth category applies to those businesses that have minimal negative impact on the environment.

Registration of the NVOS will not only make the category known, but will also determine the amount of contributions that will be applied to this business entity, and must be paid on a regular basis using the advance method.

So, registration of NVOS objects by Rosprirodnadzor is carried out on the basis of application documents that contain detailed information O entrepreneurial activity, which determines the category to which regulatory authorities will classify this activity. It is worth noting that payments can be made not only on the basis of category, but also on the basis of the type of emissions that are produced by the facility.
