Reform articles 32, 33, 34, and 35 of Executive Decree No. 34361-MP of November 21, 2007, published in La Gaceta No. 52 of March 13, 2008, denominated "Regulation to the National Law on Emergencies and Risk Prevention", so that henceforth they read as follows:
"Article 32.-Deadline for Institutions to Submit the Official Report of Damages and Losses. Institutions have a maximum period of two months from the declaration of emergency by executive decree to submit an official report of damages and losses with an estimate of the costs and needs to be covered. A cause-and-effect relationship must exist and be proven, unequivocally, in this report between the declared emergency and the reported damage, based on the inventory of works prior to the event. With the reports submitted and the other documentation that CNE accredits, the General Emergency Plan (Plan General de la Emergencia) shall be prepared. The maximum deadline of two months that institutions have to submit an official report of damages and losses with an estimate of the costs and needs to be covered does not exclude the possibility that, during the following six months after the approval of the General Emergency Plan, other damages not contemplated in said Plan may be incorporated. This emerging information must be supported by the institution before CNE, with a technical study demonstrating a direct relationship with the triggering event of the emergency." "Article 33.-Appointment of Executing Units. Executing Units (Unidades Ejecutoras) are defined as the entities appointed by agreement of the Board of Directors of CNE, for the execution of one or several investment plans approved by this collegiate body, necessary for the response to a declared emergency. Any public institution competent in the matter may be appointed as an Executing Unit, provided it has an adequate administrative organization that guarantees the proper fulfillment of the proposed goals, the optimal satisfaction of needs, and adequate control in the management and use of available resources; otherwise, the Board of Directors may appoint CNE as the executing unit, or substitute the Executing Unit with another competent public institution, or contract the services necessary for the proper execution of the works. For the purpose of best fulfilling the proposed public purpose, the Board of Directors of CNE may, unilaterally and in accordance with institutional interests, substitute any executing unit that has been appointed. For such purposes, the Board of Directors of CNE shall issue the regulation that governs and regulates the functioning of the Executing Units." "Article 34.-Integration. Each Executing Unit must designate officials to represent it, who will be responsible for coordinating with the corresponding administrative units in CNE, the submission of documents, payment procedures, purchase requests, submission of the investment plan, the technical description, qualitatively and quantitatively, of the project, project inspections, progress reports, processing of modification orders, project closures, for CNE's assessment; their names, identification numbers, and signature registries must be remitted to CNE." "Article 35.-Dependency. All appointed Executing Units shall depend directly on CNE. The Reconstruction Process Management Unit (Unidad de Gestión de Procesos de Reconstrucción) of CNE shall be the unit in charge of the control and oversight of the functions assigned to them in the execution process of the reconstruction works and in the monitoring and evaluation of resilience as determined in the corresponding Regulation."
