To mitigate any obstacles imposed by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and to comply with the obligations of citizens and companies with the Public Administration, on March 26th, 2020, the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources announced via a Federal Official Gazette the Normative Instruction (IN) 12/2020. This relates to the extended deadline for submitting the Annual Report of Potentially Polluting Activities and Users of Natural Resources (RAPP), which regulated companies must comply with annually.

Key Points of the Resolution

  • The regular delivery period for the Annual Report on Potentially Contaminating Activities (RAPP) for 2020 (base year 2019) has been extended until June 29.

Important Notes

  • The extension established by IN IBAMA N. 12/2020 refers exclusively to the RAPP for 2020 (base year 2019).
