Abstract: The research subject is the range of legal and organizational problems of administrative regulation of the activities of licensing authorities. The paper considers the problems of re-licensing. The author analyzes the comprehensive lists of reasons for re-licensing provided by the Federal Law of 4 May 2011 No 99 “On the particular types of activity licensing”. Despite the fact that this Federal Law was adopted quite a long time ago, the questions about the need for the renewal of licences, issued before this law enactment, are still urgent. The author considers the general cases of re-licensing and the practical problems caused by the absence of the deadline for submission of an application for re-licensing in the Federal Law. The research methodology is based on the recent achievements in epistemology. The author applies general scientific and specific methods. General scientific methods, including the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, observation, modeling and comparison, help reveal the main trends and patters of development of the research subject. Special scientific methods, including the formal-logical, comparative-legal and system-structural, provide the opportunity to detect, describe and reproduce the phenomena under consideration, and to compare them. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that so far, the problems of re-licensing haven’t been studied consistently. The author concludes about the necessity to amend the Federal Law of 4 May 2011 No 99 “On the particular types of activity licensing” in relation to systematization of cases of re-licensing and introduction of a deadline for relicensing in the article 18. 

Abstract: The research subject is the range of legal and organizational problems of administrative and legal regulation of the work of regulatory and supervisory authorities. The paper considers the current situation of unification of federal and local executive authority bodies. The author considers the main reasons for unification of the two regulatory and supervisory agencies – the Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Federal Tariffs Service, and the problems which can appear in practice in the process of their unification. The paper studies the problems which regional supervisory authorities can face when organizing routine inspection beginning from 2016 after the unification of particular executive authority bodies in the territorial subjects of the Russian Federation into a single state body. The research methodology comprises the recent achievements in epistemology. The author applies general scientific methods, including the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, observation, modeling, and comparison, which help to reveal the main development tendencies and patterns of the subject in question. The specific scientific methods, including the formal-logical, comparative-legal, and system-structural, help to reveal, describe, and reproduce the studied phenomena, and to compare them on order to reveal the similarities and differences. The author discusses the reasonability of transferring the responsibilities of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation in the sphere of legal regulation to the Ministry of Economic Development. The author concludes about the necessity to unify regulatory and supervisory authorities of territorial subjects of the Russian Federation using the example of the General Regulatory Office of Khabarovsk region. 

Abstract: The subject of the research is the legal relations in the sphere of licensing, application of administrative regulations, effects of administrative acts and law-making activity of state administrative bodies. The main purpose of the research is to examine the subject, define the problems that may arise in the process of licensing control and develop recommendations on hwo to improve the legal regulation in the sphere of licensing. The importance of the topic is caused by the questions about legal regulation of state control and supervision. Many experts and scientists note that the existing model of the legal regulation of control and supervisory activity needs to be improved. In recent years a series of steps have been made towards changing the existing legal approaches as a result of instructions given by the President of the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, legal regulation of licensing supervision as oen of the forms of state control needs to be changed as well. The present research is devoted to the basic laws and regulations currently applicable in the sphere of licensing. According to the author of the article, after passing the federal law 'On the Basis of State and Municipal Control and Supervision in the Russian Federation', certain corresponding amendments should be made to the Federal Law No. 99 dated May 4, 2011 'On Licensing Certain Activities'. In this regard, the author of the present article offers to prepare recommendations and suggestions aimed at increasing efficiency of managerial decisions in the sphere of licensing control. The methodological basis of the research involves modern achievements of the theory of knowledge. In her research Voenkova uses research methods usually applied in general science and special sciences. General scientific methods (systems approach, analysis, synthesis, analogy, observation, modeling, comparison) allow to define the main trends and patterns of the development of the matter under research. Special scientific methods (legalistic, comparative, structural analysis) allow to define, describe and reproduce the studied phenomena and to compare them in terms of their differences and similarities. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author proves the need to extend the general provisions of the Federal Law No. 99 dated May 4, 2011 'On Licensing Certain Activities' to the relations listed in part 2 of Article 1 of the aforesaid Federal Law. The importance of the research is that the results can be used for practical purpose including making relevant amendments to the Russian Federation laws regulating legal relations in the sphere of licensing.
