Abstract:The management of mineral resources overlaid by construction projects is an important administrative function to deal with the contradictions between the implementation of construction projects and the development and utilization of mineral resources. Based on the review of legal basis and present condition of institutional construction for overlaid mineral resources management system, combining with the latest requirements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on optimizing the business environment, improving comprehensive land resources compensation system, and strengthening supervision and management in the middle and after the event, main problems still existing in current overlaid mineral resources management system have been summarized and analyzed, including unclarified requirements for overlaying management of non-important mineral resources, the approval authority for the overlaid mineral resources management not completely consistent with the registration authority of mining rights, insufficient examination and approval standards, indemnification agreements' influence on postponing the completion of the override approval, the lack of legal basis for overlaid mineral resources compensation, and inadequate follow-up for supervision and management. In order to improve management system of overlaid mineral resources by construction projects, several policy suggestions have been put forward, such as clarifying the full coverage management of mineral resources in the overlaid mineral resources management system, adjusting the approval permissions for overlaid mineral resources management, detailing approval standards for the overlaying and the situations where overlaying treatment did not need to be carried out, optimizing the approval process for the overlaying management, establishing a sound compensation mechanism for overlaid mineral resources, and strengthening supervision and management during and after the event. It will provide some references for the next step to improve the overlaying management system.
