The Administration of Concessions for Urban Utilities Procedures (the Procedures), promulgated by the Ministry of Construction (MOC) and effective May 1 2004, are the latest national rules to regulate urban utility concessions. The Procedures are another effort by the Chinese government to simultaneously deregulate and assert control over the urban utility industry. The Procedures take the form of a ministerial regulation and follow two earlier, less authoritative circulars, the Enhancing the Development of Urban Wastewater and Garbage Treatment Industries Opinions issued by the State Planning Commission, State Environmental Protection Bureau and MOC in September 2002 and the Accelerating the Marketization of Urban Utilities Opinions issued by the MOC in December 2002.
