📋 Tender Overview
Initiatives seek to reduce unnecessary procedures, simplify processes and guarantee a more efficient infrastructure deployment.With the commitment to promote responsible and sustainable development, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), through the General Directorate of Policies and Regulation in Communications (DGPRC), works on three important proposals to optimize the environmental management of telecommunications projects.
These initiatives seek to facilitate infrastructure deployment without neglecting environmental protection. One of the proposed measures is to expand the type of projects that, due to its low environmental impact, will no longer require an environmental technical file (FTA). This will reduce unnecessary procedures and focus technical efforts on projects that really merit it.
Likewise, it is proposed to update the technical criteria that determine when a project must go through an environmental impact assessment (EVAP), considering the size and scope of the infrastructure. In this way, regulation will better adjust to the current reality of the sector.
Finally, it is proposed to simplify various points of the Environmental Management Regulations of the Communications sector, including automatic approval of FTAS and the expansion of deadlines for the environmental adaptation of ongoing projects. All this seeks to provide greater predictability and efficiency when developing new initiatives.
It should be noted that these initiatives are part of the environmental standards portfolio, and are also in the framework of the deregulation shock. The first measure will reduce the administrative load by 42 %, more than 8,000 projects per year, since they will not require FTA to the MTC, generating savings for the administrator of S/ 2.5 million annually by dispensing with the hiring of environmental consultants for the preparation of the FTA.
The second initiative will allow various deployment and infrastructure projects, today subjected to EVAP with deadlines of up to 30 business days, are processed through FTA, whose approval time is considerably lower. Finally, the third initiative contemplates the FTA automatic approval procedure, which will expedite infrastructure deployment in approximately 20 100 projects executed per year.
As part of this participatory process, the MTC made a work table with the AFIN, Amcham and Comex guilds, in which valuable contributions from the private sector were received. This dialogue space reaffirms the MTC commitment to a more modern, inclusive and aligned regulation with the principles of sustainability.
With these actions, the MTC continues to bet on a more dynamic, efficient and respectful communications sector, for the benefit of all citizens.
