When marking the provincial-level administrative boundaries, representatives of state administrative agencies from adjacent administrative units must be present;- After marking the administrative boundaries, a confirmation diagram of the position of the markers must be drawn up. When drawing the diagram, at least three (03) permanently stable natural objects must be selected as references to restore the position of the markers in case they are lost or destroyed later. Measurements from the marker to the reference object should be precise to the nearest second for angles and to the nearest 0.1 m for distances; The confirmation diagram of the markers’ positions must follow the templates specified in Appendix 03a, 03b, 03c issued with this Circular;- After completing the marking, the administrative boundary markers at all levels must be handed over to the administrative units directly managing the markers and a handover record must be made according to the template specified in Appendix 07 issued with this Circular.
