The article is devoted to the controversial aspects of the sectoral status of energy law. It is noted that the following can be used as working criteria for the allocation of branches in the legal system: the independence of the subject of legal regulation (as a general rule, it should not completely or in its main part coincide with the subject of another, already existing branch of law); the presence of a codified or similar generalizing legislative act; the main criterion is an independent normative content that is, the existence of principles and norms that do not relate to other branches of law and do not duplicate them in meaning. At the same time, the only generalizing legislative act that provides legal regulation of energy relations in general, and not of their individual types, does not have sufficient regulatory independence to give the appropriate regulation an industry scale. It can be concluded that at present energy law is an intersectoral legal institution combining the norms of civil, administrative and some other branches of law, as well as a number of its own norms, including a relatively poorly developed general part and strong sub-institutions (electric, nuclear, oil and gas, etc. law), and independent The normative content is mainly concentrated in the subinstitutions, and not in the general part of the institute.

Introductions. In the present stage of development, mankind is naturally accompanied by the need for permanent or systematic use of natural resources. There is not a single natural object that would not be used by mankind. Also, the development of modern society is associated with the inevitability of pollutant emissions to the natural environment. At the same time, such a relationship in nature should have certain limits or norms and boundaries of the norm of use. And in this sense, the main the most important and effective environmental protection measure is environmental rationing. Ecological rationing is a special research and normative-legal direction of activity on substantiation of ecological criteria of quality of the natural environment and development based on these criteria of norms of permissible anthropogenic impacts, nature protection norms and rules in relation to all major forms of economic and other activities. Also, environmental regulation is the activity of specially authorized state bodies on development, approval, implementation of environmental standards and ensuring their compliance by all subjects of nature use. Some environmental standards assess the natural environment, while others limit the sources of harmful impact on it and restrict the use of natural resources. Activitiesaimed at establishing a system of standards for the state of the natural environment and standards of maximum permissible impact on it, necessary for the effective implementation of environmental protection activities of government agencies. This article analyzes the topical issues of further improvement of the system of environmental regulation, ways of their solution and problems in the field of environmental regulation.

The article is devoted to the concepts of alienation and alienability in civil law. It is noted that, summing up the characteristics of alienation, namely: that which leads to a decrease in property; that which is opposite to acquisition; that which includes sale, donation, leasing, renunciation of rights, etc., it is possible to formulate a hypothesis that alienation is the termination of the legal relationship between the subject and the object of a civil legal relationship. At the same time, alienability should be understood as a legally fixed possibility that allows a subject of civil law to terminate legal connection with objects of rights; in other words, alienability is not any characteristic of things or other objects of civil law, but an element of civil personality, or a specific subjective right of a certain person.

The article presents an analysis of the regulatory framework governing the powers of the state in the context of waste management. As a starting point of reasoning, the author considers the concept of public power introduced into constitutional legislation in 2020. It is noted that this concept helps to organize activities at various management levels for the most efficient waste management. The author also highlighted some negative elements in this issue: in particular, the fragmentation of acts containing relevant norms, the lack of a common system in this area, as well as the contradictions between the general orientation of waste management policy and its implementation at the regional and local levels.

The article is devoted to one of the problems of civil law, which has been facing legal science for a long time, related to the content of the concept of «property rights» in the form of a «triad of the rights of the owner». The existing quantitative composition of the powers does not fully meet the needs of civil turnover, and continues to cause discussions among civil society. One of the main obstacles is the historically established tradition in Russian civil law of understanding the content of property rights as a set of three powers. This circumstance does not allow us to adequately consider the semantic content and dimension of the legal concepts of «possession» and «possession», and their derivatives (powers). Based on the historical and legal method, a more detailed analysis is presented, as well as expanded theoretical approaches to the interpretation of the concept of «triad of powers» are proposed. According to the results of the study, the author’s version of the understanding of the term «triad of the rights of the owner» is formulated in the form of a two-level structure, and the emergence of the triad itself is a process reflecting the ownership of a rural community at the beginning of the XVIII century.
