Chapter 2. The procedure for the functioning of the unified subsoil use platform
Paragraph 1. Access to the Platform and user registration
4. The platform consists of open and closed parts. The open part provides access to the Information Resources of the Platform, including the Map of subsurface use, registers of licenses and the Program of management of the state fund of subsurface resources, to all interested persons without the need for registration.
5. Access to the closed part of the Platform is carried out through a Personal Account. A personal account is provided to the User after completing the registration and authentication procedure using an EDS.
6. When registering Users, the Platform automatically verifies the data through integration with the State database "Legal Entities". When registering individuals, verification is carried out through the State database "Individuals".
7. Users are required to keep their data up-to-date in their Personal Account to ensure that they receive notifications correctly, submit applications, submit reports, and participate in auctions.
Paragraph 2. The operating procedure of the Platform and the interaction of participants
8. As part of the electronic application service, it is formed in the form of an application and submitted electronically exclusively through the personal account of the Platform.
In case of detection of incompleteness of the submitted information, the electronic document must be returned for revision with an indication of the reason for the return, and in case of detection of inaccuracy of the submitted information on the electronic document, a reasoned refusal is formed.
The electronic application service provides automatic routing of received electronic documents to the relevant competent authorities and/or Platform modules.
After receiving the electronic application for processing, the user receives an electronic notification with the application number and the time of its receipt.
An electronic document is considered delivered (delivered) to the user from the moment it is received into the user's personal account on the Platform, unless otherwise established by law.
All operations of the Electronic Application Service are recorded in the event log from the moment they are received, indicating the time, initiator and result of each operation. The logs are kept and provided for auditing in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
9. The monitoring service provides automated accounting of subsurface use rights, issued licenses and concluded contracts, including related conditions and deadlines for fulfilling obligations.
Based on the results of the reconciliation, an automatic notification is generated about inconsistencies, deviations or violations and sends them to the user's personal account and for consideration by the competent authorities.
The monitoring service provides the generation of summary analytical information and reports for competent authorities in the volume and format necessary for monitoring and making managerial decisions.
The Platform operator ensures that the history of changes to records of rights and obligations is maintained, while maintaining the basis of the changes and data about the person who made the change.
10. The service for visualization of subsurface areas and spatial data is carried out using a subsurface use map, which provides a display of layers containing information about all subsurface areas. Information posted on the subsurface use map is subject to updating based on information provided by authorized government agencies.
11. Electronic documents are stored in relation to electronic documents generated, signed and submitted through the Platform using EDS.
Access to documents is limited and provided in accordance with established access levels and requirements for the protection of confidential and proprietary information.
