- Appraisal and approval of plans for prevention and emergency response to environmental incidents of organizations and individuals conducting petroleum activities;

- Check the actual assessment before appraising and approving the plan for prevention and emergency response to environmental incidents; Actually check the implementation of the plan of the organization or individual after the appraisal and approval./.
