Questions
Yes. LGEEPA art. 28 VII lists changes of use of forest areas, jungles and arid zones among works that need SEMARNAT's prior environmental impact authorization, and art. 30 says you apply with a manifestación de impacto ambiental (MIA). SEMARNAT has 60 days from receipt to resolve, and can pause that to ask for more information.
The study must carry the Registro data of the prestador de servicios forestales who prepared it and of the one who will carry out the change. It needs field data: flora and fauna, erosion and water, and timber volume by species. SEMARNAT or ASEA also visits the site before deciding.
Not for 20 years. LGDFS art. 97 bars a change-of-use authorization where forest cover was lost to fire, logging or clearing until 20 years have passed and you show SEMARNAT that the forest vegetation has regrown.
