48. Authorization is required for any activity arising from a project subject to the environmental and social impact assessment and review procedure, if the activity is subject to prior ministerial authorization pursuant to section 22 of the Act and this Regulation.
The activities referred to in the first paragraph may be covered by a declaration of compliance or be exempted from authorization, as provided for in this Regulation.
The activities covered by a ministerial authorization, declaration of compliance or exemption may not, however, begin before the Minister issues a certificate or attestation in accordance with sections 154 and 189 of the Act, except when they concern the completion of an impact study.
