Problems with two classes of governmental units
1) nationality-based units (republics, autonomous oblasts, autonomous okrugs

2) krays and oblasts -jurisdiction over "planning of environmental protection and resource use, and financing and material-technical support for ecological programs"

also

Oblasts and krays not authorized "to set differentiated rates of payment (user-fees) for use of natural resources and for emissions of pollutants," but can "make decisions on use of the environment and its resources,"
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS granted in principle the same rights as oblasts and krays (i.e, jurisdictional conflicts likely)
