On December 9, 2019, Federal Environmental Agency
("IBAMA") has published the Ordinance No. 26
("Ordinance"), establishing the Federal Environmental
Licensing Management System ("SisG-LAF"), an online
platform to manage the demands related to environmental licensing
processes.
The main purpose of SisG-LAF is to improve the process through
the automation of services provided by IBAMA.
The SisG-LAF encompasses:
- Request of Preliminary, Installation
and Operating Licenses;
- Issuance of Reference Terms for
environmental assessments;
- Filing of documents in compliance
with conditions set forth on the Licenses;
- Request of permits issued by
IBAMA.
It is important to highlight that the use of SisG-LAF will occur
gradually, starting with the requests of Preliminary License, and a
schedule should be disclosed by IBAMA for the availability of
services.
