| 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.
