Authorized Body
A federal executive body designated to oversee and regulate experimental legal regimes.
How the laws define this
Both instruments establish an Authorized Body as a federal executive body responsible for overseeing, monitoring, and enforcing compliance within experimental legal regimes, as well as evaluating regime proposals. They diverge on the specific institutional identity and sector application. The Tatarstan Autonomous Vehicle Experimental Legal Regime (ELR) Program explicitly identifies this entity as primarily the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, assigning it the role of approving programs and focusing specifically on autonomous vehicles. In contrast, Federal Law No. 123-FZ of April 24, 2020, which addresses an artificial intelligence experiment in Moscow, defines the entity more broadly as a federal executive body empowered by the Russian Federation Government. Additionally, Federal Law No. 123-FZ specifically tasks the body with maintaining a register of participants and handling data processing rules, details not highlighted in the Tatarstan program.
