The document amends the law \u201cOn Subsoil\u201d and came into force on the date of official publication.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are talking about maps that indicate deposits, their boundaries, as well as subsoil areas that have already been transferred for use. Previously, these schemes were published in the public domain on Rosnedra resources and were used, among other things, by land owners when planning construction outside populated areas.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the new procedure, only users who are authorized through State Services and registered in the Federal State Information System \u201cUnified Geological Information Fund\u201d will have access to such data.

Since the beginning of the year, authorization through Gosuslugi was required to work with previously opened resources of Rosgeolfond. In May, the government suspended regulations that would provide greater access to FSIS data until the end of 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, in the summer the amount of information available even to authorized users was significantly reduced.
