“…The registration of the project is an important step in the EIA process. It is project proponents usually submit project proposals to the EAs before actual EIA process [27]. The EA is responsible for receiving applications of the projects' proposal, classifying the projects (the categories of the projects which require or not require EIA differ from one country to another) and screening the scoping reports of the proposed projects' proposals.…”

“…For example, the repair of a recently destroyed diversion structure is unlikely to require an EIA whilst a major new headwork structure may. Guidelines for whether or not an EIA is required will be country-specific depending on the laws or norms in operation [27]. Legislation often specifies the criteria for screening and full EIA.…”

“…To achieve the reviewing process, EA usually selects or appoints the detailed EIA review panel with the main task of critically reviewing detailed EIA reports and formulate recommendations of the relevant project-approving authority [27]. The detailed EIA review panel is established on an ad hoc basis specifically for a particular project [31].…”

Currently, every country is striving to realize development for its people. Thus, to achieve this the construction of various projects are necessary for the realization of socioeconomic and political development of any country. However, the development of the projects is associated with various environmental challenges that may affect the entire society and the environment. Thus, to cater that there is the need for conducting Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) that is a tool used to identify the environmental, social and economic impacts of a project before decision-making. To achieve the EIA process, there are Environmental Agencies (EAs) that are designed for dealing with all environment-related issues in the relevant country. Thus, this paper aims at providing the key significances provided by the EAs in the EIA process. The following significances are discussed in this paper: formulation of policies, laws and regulations related to EIA; authorization and certification of the experts or firms of expert for EIA process; registration and screening of the projects for EIA; reviewing Environmental Impacts Statements or reports; preparation of the EIA certificates for approval or disapproval of the projects; conducting environmental monitoring and auditing; and monitoring of the implementation of the decommissioning.

“…Various authors have suggested that Iran is a country with an immature EIA system where EIA is neither procedurally nor substantively effective. As procedural performance is a precondition for substantive performance (Van Doren et al 2012;Khadka and Shrestha 2011) there is a correlation between procedural performance and clear EIA legislation (Kolhoff et al 2016). As a result, any discussion on how to improve EIA should begin with the role of EIA legislation.…”

(Wood 2003;Van Loon et al 2010;Clausen et al 2011;Marara et al 2011;Kabir and Momtaz 2013), including weak monitoring and enforcement capacities (Khadka and Shrestha 2011). 3.
