Improvement of title registration procedures in connection with abandoned infrastructural
assets of the Fuel and Energy Sector, including abandoned assets of the gas distribution
system.
(Section 5 of Minutes No. 12 of 12 December 2014 of the Government Commission
on the Socio-Economic Development of the North Caucasus Federal District)
OAO Gazprom forwarded to the Russian Ministry of Energy its proposals on a draft of the Federal
Law on Amendments to Certain Regulatory Acts of the Russian Federation (intended to improve
the operational safety of gas distribution networks and ensure reliable power supplies to consumers)
focusing on the improvement of title registration procedures relating to abandoned infrastructural
assets of the Fuel and Energy Sector, including abandoned assets of the gas distribution
system.
The draft is intended to amend the Federal Law on Gas Supply in the Russian Federation,
Civil and Civil Procedural Codes of the Russian Federation to set a definition for an “abandoned
asset of the gas distribution system” and establish a procedure for acquiring title to such asset
upon application of the gas distribution company that discovers such asset and whose networks
are technologically integrated with the asset. The draft also enables the acquisition of title to an
abandoned infrastructural asset of the gas distribution system within five years by prescription.
