Licensing is one of the most important mechanisms in ensuring industrial safety in the Russian Federation. This tool of the state administration is a complex and energy-intensive process both for licensing authorities, and for license applicants, licensees.
For the purpose to eliminate the excessive administrative barriers in planning and implementation of production activity, the issuance of licenses in paper form was canceled in favor of making a legally significant entry.
In order to implement the register model, a number of new administrative regulations on the provision of state licensing services was developed, according to which, as a result of the provision of state services, from January 1, 2021, Rostechnadzor forms an entry in the register of licenses and sends a notification to the applicant about making the corresponding entry in the register of licenses.
The information contained in the license register is open and publicly available, except in cases where access to such information is restricted in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.
Access to the information from the register of licenses is provided by Rostechnadzor by publishing it on the official website on the Internet. Also, the information about a specific license can be obtained by an interested person in the form of an extract from the license register in paper or electronic form, while the corresponding fee is charged for providing an extract from the license register in a hard copy.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that the amount of the fee was set not for replenishing the budget of the Russian Federation, but in order to stimulate the transition of the interaction of applicants with licensing authorities to an electronic form.
The innovations simplified the process of interaction between the licensing authorities and the license applicants and licensees, accelerated and simplified the procedure for obtaining a license, and increased the efficiency of state administration in the field of industrial safety.
