In 1991, Jamaica promulgated the Natural Resources Conservation Authority Act    (NRCAA), which established an Authority to provide for the management, conservation and protection of Jamaica's natural resources - the Natural Resources Conservation Authority (NRCA). Regulations under the NRCAA take into consideration the UNEP principles on EIA.

Section 10 of the NRCAA gives the NRCA authority to request from any applicant for a permit (under the prescribed categories for development), under Section 9 of the Act, that an environmental impact assessment be conducted.
