On the basis of the provisions of Section 78, Paragraph 2, Letter i) and Section 79, Paragraph 1, Letter b) of Act No. 185/2001 Coll., on waste, the regional office or municipal authority with extended powers grant consent to handle hazardous waste according to Section 16, Paragraph 3 of the same Act. The granting of that consent may be subject to conditions by the state administration body concerned.
The determination of the period of validity of the issued consent is entirely at the discretion of the authority that issues it. The competent administrative authority can issue the above-mentioned approval with validity for an indefinite period or for a specific period. It then specifies a certain period either by stating a specific date until which the validity of the consent lasts or by providing information to the effect that the validity of the consent is, for example, for a period of five years. This period is then calculated from the date of acquisition of legal force (effectiveness period) of the decision by which the relevant regional authority or municipal authority with extended powers grants consent to the management of hazardous waste.
Information regarding the period of validity of the issued consent including any conditions, are always listed in the statement part of the decision. This part of the decision is binding for its holder.
