Sustainable economic and ecological development of the coal industry in Russia can be impeded by the lack of some national-level documentation. This shortcoming should be compensated for at an early day. When elaborating measures aimed to reach the objective of the industry, a particular emphasis should be placed on formation of a regulation framework for the introduction of advanced technologies and towards commercial manufacture. The regulatory and legal framework should be in line with the criteria of ecological cleanness of the best available technologies. The increase in the coal production output and use predetermines the need for technological innovations in order to ensure transition of the coal industry to the sustainable economic and ecological development. The period of transition should be backed by the regulatory documents for the integrated assessment of the environmental impact of coal mining.
