-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keen to snap out of a policy coma and rev up an anaemic economy, the government is looking to slash &amp;quot; green tape&amp;quot; by making lease extensions simpler, amending restrictions on work beginning on projects where forest land is involved and easing expansion norms for mines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sifting through highly polarizing arguments, new initiatives aim to reduce points of contention that have often locked ministers in charge of economic and infrastructure portfolios into an adversarial position with the ministry of environment and forests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking to resolve the &amp;quot;clash of mandates&amp;quot; that contributed to a policy stasis, imperiling the UPA-2&#039;s political prospects as a gloomy economy besides spawning voter discontent, the government plans to tweak green guidelines in a manner that brightens the investment climate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The urgency to revisit green rules stems from a growing conviction that a becalmed economy can ruin the UPA-2&#039;s 2014 prospects. The hazard for incumbent governments was highlighted in Wednesday&#039;s US presidential debate with challenger Mitt Romney scoring when he charged that coal and gas permits had declined by half under Barack Obama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Prime Minister&#039;s Office has advised the ministry of environment and forests (MoEF) that fresh clearances might not be needed in the case of leases that come up for renewal. This can be substituted by on-the-spot inspections of conditions specified in lease and allocation agreements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;These projects are ongoing and going through a rigmarole of permits can halt or interrupt operations,&amp;quot; sources explained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the MoEF is expected to soon approach the Supreme Court to seek easing of conditions stipulating that no work can begin on a project if even a segment of forest land is used. The government is not keen to do away with permits but does not want the non-forest part of projects held up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The courts have felt that allowing work to begin will end up becoming a fait accompli. But sometimes, the forest land to be used may be just 10-15% of the project or less,&amp;quot; an official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Norms for capacity addition is another area the government is focusing on. It hopes to do away with public hearings for increases up to 25% of capacity in case of projects that came up before 1994 which was when the procedure became mandatory for acquisition and project development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The regulation prescribing public hearings for pre-1994 projects seeking capacity addition is considered an unnecessary bump that can be done away with. This is particularly applicable to mining with coal supplies becoming a big impediment for power projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Linear projects like roads and railway lines need consent of multiple gram sabhas all along the route of such developments. A strict interpretation of this rule in case of habitations that are marginally impacted by a project may not now be considered necessary.

&lt;br /&gt;
Sifting through highly polarizing arguments, new initiatives aim to reduce points of contention that have often locked ministers in charge of economic and infrastructure portfolios into an adversarial position with the ministry of environment and forests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking to resolve the &amp;quot;clash of mandates&amp;quot; that contributed to a policy stasis, imperiling the UPA-2&#039;s political prospects as a gloomy economy besides spawning voter discontent, the government plans to tweak green guidelines in a manner that brightens the investment climate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The urgency to revisit green rules stems from a growing conviction that a becalmed economy can ruin the UPA-2&#039;s 2014 prospects. The hazard for incumbent governments was highlighted in Wednesday&#039;s US presidential debate with challenger Mitt Romney scoring when he charged that coal and gas permits had declined by half under Barack Obama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Prime Minister&#039;s Office has advised the ministry of environment and forests (MoEF) that fresh clearances might not be needed in the case of leases that come up for renewal. This can be substituted by on-the-spot inspections of conditions specified in lease and allocation agreements.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;These projects are ongoing and going through a rigmarole of permits can halt or interrupt operations,&amp;quot; sources explained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the MoEF is expected to soon approach the Supreme Court to seek easing of conditions stipulating that no work can begin on a project if even a segment of forest land is used. The government is not keen to do away with permits but does not want the non-forest part of projects held up.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Keen to snap out of a policy coma and rev up an anaemic economy, the government is looking to slash &amp;quot; green tape&amp;quot; by making lease extensions simpler, amending restrictions on work beginning on projects where forest land is involved and easing expansion norms for mines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sifting through highly polarizing arguments, new initiatives aim to reduce points of contention that have often locked ministers in charge of economic and infrastructure portfolios into an adversarial position with the ministry of environment and forests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking to resolve the &amp;quot;clash of mandates&amp;quot; that contributed to a policy stasis, imperiling the UPA-2&#039;s political prospects as a gloomy economy besides spawning voter discontent, the government plans to tweak green guidelines in a manner that brightens the investment climate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The urgency to revisit green rules stems from a growing conviction that a becalmed economy can ruin the UPA-2&#039;s 2014 prospects. The hazard for incumbent governments was highlighted in Wednesday&#039;s US presidential debate with challenger Mitt Romney scoring when he charged that coal and gas permits had declined by half under Barack Obama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Prime Minister&#039;s Office has advised the ministry of environment and forests (MoEF) that fresh clearances might not be needed in the case of leases that come up for renewal. This can be substituted by on-the-spot inspections of conditions specified in lease and allocation agreements.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;These projects are ongoing and going through a rigmarole of permits can halt or interrupt operations,&amp;quot; sources explained.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Keen to snap out of a policy coma and rev up an anaemic economy, the government is looking to slash &amp;quot; green tape&amp;quot; by making lease extensions simpler, amending restrictions on work beginning on projects where forest land is involved and easing expansion norms for mines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sifting through highly polarizing arguments, new initiatives aim to reduce points of contention that have often locked ministers in charge of economic and infrastructure portfolios into an adversarial position with the ministry of environment and forests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking to resolve the &amp;quot;clash of mandates&amp;quot; that contributed to a policy stasis, imperiling the UPA-2&#039;s political prospects as a gloomy economy besides spawning voter discontent, the government plans to tweak green guidelines in a manner that brightens the investment climate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The urgency to revisit green rules stems from a growing conviction that a becalmed economy can ruin the UPA-2&#039;s 2014 prospects. The hazard for incumbent governments was highlighted in Wednesday&#039;s US presidential debate with challenger Mitt Romney scoring when he charged that coal and gas permits had declined by half under Barack Obama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Prime Minister&#039;s Office has advised the ministry of environment and forests (MoEF) that fresh clearances might not be needed in the case of leases that come up for renewal. This can be substituted by on-the-spot inspections of conditions specified in lease and allocation agreements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;These projects are ongoing and going through a rigmarole of permits can halt or interrupt operations,&amp;quot; sources explained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the MoEF is expected to soon approach the Supreme Court to seek easing of conditions stipulating that no work can begin on a project if even a segment of forest land is used. The government is not keen to do away with permits but does not want the non-forest part of projects held up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The courts have felt that allowing work to begin will end up becoming a fait accompli. But sometimes, the forest land to be used may be just 10-15% of the project or less,&amp;quot; an official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Norms for capacity addition is another area the government is focusing on. It hopes to do away with public hearings for increases up to 25% of capacity in case of projects that came up before 1994 which was when the procedure became mandatory for acquisition and project development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The regulation prescribing public hearings for pre-1994 projects seeking capacity addition is considered an unnecessary bump that can be done away with. This is particularly applicable to mining with coal supplies becoming a big impediment for power projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Linear projects like roads and railway lines need consent of multiple gram sabhas all along the route of such developments. A strict interpretation of this rule in case of habitations that are marginally impacted by a project may not now be considered necessary.

Govt to ease norms to cut 'green tape' -Rajeev Deshpande

-The Times of India Keen to snap out of a policy coma and rev up an anaemic economy, the government is looking to slash " green tape" by making lease extensions simpler, amending restrictions on work beginning on projects where forest land is involved and easing expansion norms for mines. Sifting through highly polarizing arguments, new initiatives aim to reduce points of contention that have often locked ministers in charge of economic and infrastructure portfolios into an adversarial position with the ministry of environment and forests. Looking to resolve the "clash of mandates" that contributed to a policy stasis, imperiling the UPA-2's political prospects as a gloomy economy besides spawning voter discontent, the government plans to tweak green guidelines in a manner that brightens the investment climate. The urgency to revisit green rules stems from a growing conviction that a becalmed economy can ruin the UPA-2's 2014 prospects. The hazard for incumbent governments was highlighted in Wednesday's US presidential debate with challenger Mitt Romney scoring when he charged that coal and gas permits had declined by half under Barack Obama. The Prime Minister's Office has advised the ministry of environment and forests (MoEF) that fresh clearances might not be needed in the case of leases that come up for renewal. This can be substituted by on-the-spot inspections of conditions specified in lease and allocation agreements. "These projects are ongoing and going through a rigmarole of permits can halt or interrupt operations," sources explained. Similarly, the MoEF is expected to soon approach the Supreme Court to seek easing of conditions stipulating that no work can begin on a project if even a segment of forest land is used. The government is not keen to do away with permits but does not want the non-forest part of projects held up. "The courts have felt that allowing work to begin will end up becoming a fait accompli. But sometimes, the forest land to be used may be just 10-15% of the project or less," an official said. Norms for capacity addition is another area the government is focusing on. It hopes to do away with public hearings for increases up to 25% of capacity in case of projects that came up before 1994 which was when the procedure became mandatory for acquisition and project development. The regulation prescribing public hearings for pre-1994 projects seeking capacity addition is considered an unnecessary bump that can be done away with. This is particularly applicable to mining with coal supplies becoming a big impediment for power projects. Linear projects like roads and railway lines need consent of multiple gram sabhas all along the route of such developments. A strict interpretation of this rule in case of habitations that are marginally impacted by a project may not now be considered necessary.
