Abstract
The methodological issues of improving the licensing of state subsoil use in the Russian Federation are considered. The analysis of the current mechanism of subsoil use licensing is carried out, and the drawbacks and problems adversely affecting the efficiency of functioning of the state system of subsoil use licensing are identified. It is pointed out that the disproportion of licensing of subsoil use objects is caused by the difference in profitability of extractive industries. Proposals of groups of supporters of one or another direction of the reform of the state system of licensing for the use of subsoil are considered. Possible variants of the concept of reforming the legislation on licensing of subsoil use are analyzed.
