Environmental Regulations and Standards in Mexico are based
on the LGEEPA (Federal General Law of Ecological Equilibrium
and the Protection of the Environment.) The LGEEPA
establishes the framework and authority for all
environmental regulation in Mexico.
The LGEEPA is a very important document for understanding
how the environmental regulatory system functions in Mexico.
The LGEEPA is the context for understanding the relationship
between the regulations that are based on it, and the NOMs
that detail the specifications for compliance with Law and
Regulations.
The Environmental Law is defined and responsibilities, and
formats are established by the Regulations of LGEEPA and the
NOM's.

IMPORTANT NOTE JULY 2007
More reforms to the LGEEPA. These minor, but they actually are
very important. You will notice that these reforms are giving more specific
authority to the States to enact additional legislation over natural
protected areas. This is part of President Calderón's plan to
decentralize environmental oversight and give more authority to the
States. It is not a relaxation of Environmental legislation, it gives
the States a greater role in protecting sensitive areas.
This was initiated by the State legislature of Baja California
(controlled by PAN - President Calderón's party) after the Federal
Government had approved several large projects without input from the
State in some very sensitive areas in Baja Calfornia.
The reforms are located in the LGEEPA:
� Art 49 was reformed in Section III, and a new section IV was added,
the previous section IV became section V.
� Art 22 BIS reformed, I and III
� 38 in sections I and III;
� 46 first and 3rd paragraph
� 54 in the 1st paragraph,
� 202 reformed.
