Dated 15thMarch, 2021

Sub:-MOEFCC streamlined the processes of granting Environmental Clearances with


respect to Essential details Sought (EDS).

1. During the review meetings held for streamlining the Environmental Clearances (EC) process it
has come to notice that many project proponents do not reply/ delay the reply to the Essential
Details Sought (EDS) by the concerned Member Secretaries of the Impact Assessment
Division.
2. As the project proponents/ consultants are already aware of the Essential Details which would
be required by the Ministry for appraising their proposals for the grant of EC, the need to seek
Essential Details arises due to the lack o fdiligence on the part of the project proponents/
consultants while submitting the proposal for grant of EC.
3. In this regard, it has now been decided that in case the reply to EDS is not received on
PARIVESH within 30 days, the proposal will be excluded from the pendency list shown on
PARIVESH.
4. However, the project proponent can relist the p roposal through their respective login
provisions, as and when they want to submit the EDS reply.
5. This is issued with the approval of the Competent Authority.

Notice
Dated March, 2021

Sub:-Notice for Registration of Producers, Importers & Brand-Owners under provision


of Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules.

Producers, Importers & Brand-owners (PIBOs) are required to fulfill Extended Producers
Responsibility (EPR) for the plastic waste generated due to the products introduced by them in the
market. EPR is responsibility of a producer/ importer/ brand-owner for environmentally sound
management of the product till the end of its life.

PIBOs are required to obtain registration from CPCB, if operating in more than two States/ UTs
and from concerned SPCB/PCC, if operating in one or two States/UTs only.

This notice is being issued to inform all the PIBOs to obtain Registration from CPCB/SPCB/PCC (as
applicable). Those PIBOs who have not yet applied for registration are informed that they shall
submit application for registration complete in all respects, to CPCB (for those operating in more
than two States/UTs) latest by April 30, 2021. Action, as deemed fit under the Environment
(Protection) Act, 1986, including levying of Environmental Compensation and closure of PIBO's
operations, shall be taken against defaulters.

Central Pollution Control Board


SOP
Dated 23 March, 2021
rd

Sub:-SOP for Registration of Producers, Importers & Brand-Owners (PIBOs) under


Plastic Waste Management Rules 2016 (as amended).

The Central Pollution Control Board has published the Standard of Procedure for Registration of
Producers, Importers & Brand- Owners under the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 on
23.03.2021. The registration process under the rules has come under intense scrutiny due to
ambiguity and lack of process mechanism to implement the same. By issuing the current SOP,
CPCB has tried to fill in the lacune to implement the Rules and close in some of the gaps. As per
Clause 2 of the SOP, PIBOs shall fulfill EPR in all the States/ UTs in which they introduce their
products. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) target for a particular State/UT shall be equal to
the type and quantum of plastic introduced by them in the market (post-consumer waste) in that
specific state. This essentially means that a separate EPR would have to be prepared for each
state in which the PIBOs are introducing plastic. Crucially, the SOP has missed providing clarity on
e-commerce operations, especially when major e-commerce companies are under scrutiny by the
National Green Tribunal for the amount of plastic used by them. The Rules are silent on the
situation if the warehouse of an e-commerce company is in one state and it delivers items to
another state, then in which state the plastic waste would be considered to have been introduced.
