- Required Documentation: Mandate the submission of an ownership transfer application, documentation on the characteristics of the results and reasons for transfer, info on the transferee, and details regarding transfer conditions and methods.
- Approval Timeline: Require heads of central administrative agencies to notify applicants of the approval decision within 45 days of receipt, with the authority to impose conditions if necessary.
