Abstract

This Norm, consisting of 43 articles divided into six Chapters and three Annexes, establishes technical procedures for the preparation, presentation, execution and technical evaluation of Sustainable Forest Management Plans (PMFSs) in primitive forests and their forms of succession in the Legal Amazon. The above mentioned technical procedures shall comply with the provisions of this Norm. The technical evaluation of the PMFS in private forests will only start after the issuance of the Prior Authorization for the Technical Analysis of Sustainable Forest Management Plan-APAT. The PMFSs and the respective POAs, in forests in the public or private domain, will depend on prior approval by the competent state body that is part of the National Environment System-SISNAMA, pursuant to art. 19 of Law No. 4.771 of 15 September 1965. It is incumbent upon the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources - IBAMA to approve these activities.
