- March 31 – Art. 70, item II of Ordinance nº 155/2016: for license registration without approved economic use plan.

The RAL must be completed and submitted electronically through the RALweb system, accessible through the Federal Government Single Login.
The preparation of the RAL must be entrusted to a legally qualified professional, with the respective Technical Responsibility Annotation (ART).
The declarant who omits information or makes false statements in the RAL is subject to the sanctions provided for by law.
Branch Registration
Companies with different CNPJs for headquarters and branches can choose to deliver the RAL broken down by CNPJ, an option recommended by the ANM. From December 2020, prior registration of branches in the ANM Cadastral Data System (SDC) is required.
