Federal Law On Security of Fuel and Energy Complex Facilities establishes the institutional and legal framework in the field of ensuring security of facilities (except nuclear facilities), defines the powers of state authorities, as well as the rights, duties and responsibilities of legal entities and individuals who own fuel and energy facilities. The law sets out basic concepts in the field of fuel and energy, and the principles of ensuring security of such facilities.
To facilitate the implementation of the federal law, Federal Law On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation with Regard to Security of Fuel and Energy Complex Facilities has been adopted.
