Forest Areas

I. Executive Summary

1. Overview

1.1 The Second Amendment Regulation in respect of MoFORR 18/2011 re

Guidelines for Rent Use of Forest Areas (hereinafter referred to

as “MoFORR 14/2013”) was issued with legal effect from 20 Feb-

ruary 2013.

1.2 MoFORR 14/2013 (i) amends Articles 7A, 10.3, 14.1(c), 14.2, 16, 17,

26, 27, 33, 36.3 and 45(o) of and (ii) inserts a new Article 10B in

MoFORR 18/2011.

2. Approach

2.1 Roads: The utilization, by Rent Use Permit holders, of roads con-

structed by Forest Utilization Permit Holders, State Owned Forestry

Public Corporations, the developers of Special Purpose Forest Areas

or other Rent Use Permit holders and vice versa will, henceforward,

be carried out on the basis of a utilization scheme of shared facilities

and not by way of the issuance of a Rent Use Permit.

2.2 Ecosystem Restoration etc: Production Forest Areas, which are

already the subject of Timber Utilization Business Licenses for Eco-

system Restoration in Natural Forest, will no longer be the subject of

Rent Use Permits for mining activities. Similar restrictions on the

issuance of Rent Use Permits are also imposed in the case of buffer

zones, protected zones and other areas.
