Entitlemen't of Resettlers Attachment 1 Survey Lists of Social Economy in Project Affected Areas Objectives of the RAP and the Definition of Resettlement Terminologv. This Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is prepared according to the Laws and Regulations of PRC, and Fujian Province as well as the Guidelines of the World Bank (Operational Directive for Involuntary Resettlement OD 4.30). The purpose of this document is to set out an Action plan for the Resettlement and Rehabilitation of the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) to ensure that they will benefit from the project and their standards of living will improve or at least be restored after the project impact. Acquisition of land and other assets for the project will adversely affect the livelihood of persons who live, work or earn their living on the land that will be acquired for the project. PAPs are defined as those persons whose income or livelihoods will be adversely affected by land acquisition for the project. PAPs include the following categories: a) persons who have a title, right, interest, in structures (houses, enterprises, shelters, or public buildings), land (including residential, agricultural, and grazing land)or any other asset acquired or possessed, in full or in part, permanently or temporarily; b) persons who use the structures, land or assets described above; or persons whose business, occupation, work, place of residence or habitat adversely affected; or c) persons whose standard of living is adversely affected as a consequence of land acquisition. A definition of PAPs is given below: Definition of the PAPs: "Affected PersonsE'hieans persons who on acdount of the execution of the project had or would have their: a) standard of living adversely affected; or b) right, title or interest in any house, land (including premises, agricultural and grazing land) or any other fixtd or movable asset acquired or possessed , temporarily or permanently; or c) business, occupation. work or place of residence or habitat adversely affected, and "affected Person" means individually all those who qualify as "Affected persons." PAPs may be individuals or legal persons such as a company, a public institution. Definition of PAPs is not limited to their legal registration or permission to live or conduct business in the affected location, or their title to property Thus, it includes: a) all those affected by the project regardless of their legal rights or absence thereof to the assets being taken; and b) persons without residential permit to live in a certain area. Therefore all such persons who are affected will need to considered and recorded as PAPs, regardless of their legal connection to assets land or location. If there are more than one person, family or household using or holding a title to the same land or property that is acquired, they will be compensated and rehabilitated according to the loss they suffer, their rights, and the impact on their living standards. The definition of PAPs is linked directly to the adverse effect of the project, regardless of legal rights title or interest. All PAPs are entitled to the improvement or at least restoration of their standards of living, and compensation for the material losses they suffer. Compensation for assets will cover replacement cost. No deductions or discounts will be applied to the compensation amount for depreciation or other reasons. All PAPs deriving an economic benefit from the affected land and property are entitled to receive rehabilitation benefits in addition to the compensation for their assets lost. Those PAPs without title, authorization or legal permission to reside, conduct business, cultivate land or construct structures are eligible for rehabilitation of their livelihoods and compensation for their assets on an equal footing with those with formal legal title, authorization or permissions to the assets. The term RESETTLEMENT includes: a) the relocation of living quarters; b) finding acceptable new employment for those whose jobs are affected; c) restoration (or compensation) of affected productive resources such as land, workplaces, , trees and infrastructure; d) restoration of other adverse effect on PAPs' living standards (quality of life) through land acquisition (such as the adverse effects of pollution); e) restoration of or compensation for affected private and public enterprises; and f) restoration of adversely affected on cultural or common property. Rehabilitation means: the restoration of the PAPs' resource capacity to continue with productive activities or lifestyles at a level higher or at least equal to that before the project. The objective of this RAP is to provide a plan for the resettlement and rehabilitation of the PAPs so that their losses will be compensated and their standards of living will be improved or at least restored to the pre-project levels. To achieve these objectives the plan provides for rehabilitation measures so that the income earning potential of individuals are restored to sustain their livelihoods. Affected productive resources of businesses (enterprises including shops) and public property. Infrastructure and cultural property will also be improved or at least restored to their pre-project levels. 2 General 1.1 Project Background Since launching the reform and opening policy, the national economy of Fujian Province has kept raising. Along with speedy development of economy, the power demand is greatly increased. The max. load of Fujian Province was up from 2341MW in 1990 to 44OOMW in 1996, with yearly increase of I1.1%; the power output was up from 13.69 billion kW/h to 28.88 billion kWth, with yearly increase of 12.7%; the installed capacity was up from 3380MW to 7374MW. The contradiction of power supply and demand is still very serious due to the weak base of existing power facilities which can not meet the need of quick development of economy. The electric elastic coefficient is only 0.72. Therefore, it is necessary to build some new power sources to reduce the shortage of power supply. The wind energy is a reproducible and clean power source. By the relative statistics, the theoretic storage capacity of wind power of Fujian Province is about 1 OOOOMW, which is distributed basically at shores projecting into the sea and islands. If the wind power is developed there the power shortage of provincial power grid will be relieved and the environmental pollution by the coal-fired power can be reduced, resulting in good benefit for both economy and enviromnent. Pingtan County is wholly in an island with rich wind recourses. Development of wind power will be good for local economy and reduce the pressure of power supply of provincial power grid. Since launching of reform and opening policy, the power load has been increased quickly in Pingtan county and Fuqing city - a famous hometown of overseas Chinese. Recently, the power demand of Pingtan is 50 million kW/h with max. load 15MW; ,fie power demand of Fuqing city is 760 million kW/h with max. load 145MW. It is estimated that the power demand in 2000 for Pingtan county will be 90 million kIW/h with max. load 25MW; the power demand for Fuqing city will be 1500 million kW/h with max. load 290MW. There is no large- and medium-scale power source there, where the power supply depends mainly on the provincial power system. Pingtan county is just located at the end of the power system, with power supply poor in quality and reliability. Nevertheless, Pingtan county has rich wind power resources. Provided that the wind farm is developed there, it will meet the power demand and ensure reliability of power supply for Pingtan county and, the surplus power can be sent to Fuqing city and the pressure of power supply from the provincial system will be reduced. 3 1.2 Project Description 1.2.1 Project Components The Pingtan Wind Power Project is composed of the following three components: A. Wind farm B. 11 Okv transmission line C. Extension of the existing Beicuo 11 OkV Substation 1.2.2 Description of Project Components A. Wind farm The permanent land acquisition for Pingtan Wind Power Project, with installed capacity of 20MW, will be 87mu in area. The wind farm consists of the followings: (1) Wind power generator 32 wind power generators with 600kW for each are planned to be set. The base area of each unit is 10 X 1 Om , so 7mu including 3-metre-width patrol permanents around their foundations will be requisitioned for all units. (2) Main transformer room The in-door type, single-story transformer room will be adopted for main transformer in order to ensure the reliable operation of power distribution system and transformer and to avoid the heavy humidity, salty mist, wind and sands there. For arranging the cables in the shortest distance from each generator to transformer and reducing fees of land acquisition for pavement , one main transformer room will be located in center of each four units , and in order to prevent fire disaster that make losses of ruining the forest , drought-sized main transformer will be adopted . Therefore, there will be 8 main transformer rooms for all units, occupying 70mn land for each room. As a whole, 0.8mu land will be needed for the main transformer rooms. (3) Central control building and lOkV distribution apparatus building The central control building consists of main building , 110kV distribution apparatus room and HV switching room . There are three floors for the main building , arranging the computer monition room and relay room (on the top 4 floor) , cable semi-floor , night shift room , system carrier room , reference room, maintenance room , parts and components storehouse , meeting room , vertical shaft well station service room, office , kitchen., dining room , lounge, toilet etc. , and arranging air-conditioners in the computer monition room . There are two floors for the I 1 OkV distribution apparatus room , floor height 7m , and the HV switching room is single-story, net height 1 Om . The 10kV distribution apparatus building consists of condenser room , lOkV distribution apparatus room and maintenance and repair room . The central control building and lOkV distribution apparatus building will be locate in the centre of the wind farm , and requisition land of 48.2mu . (4) Access road to wind power farm 1.8km long existing sand and gravel road will directly extend to the central control building, after it is rebuilt by the standard of the Grade-IV road, 6m wide, without new land acquisition. (5) Access within wind power farm During construction, the existing 8.2km long path in the woods farm will be rebuilt to 3-1 Om wide accesses for construction purposes . After completion of construction, these construction accesses will be rebuilt to be 3m wide paths with concrete pavement for the permanent use, so total of 31mu land will be requisitioned. B. 11 Okv transmission line Totally, 18km long single-circuit, overhead transmission line will erected passing over Luyang township, Zhonglou township,-- -Lancheng township, Tancheng towvn and Beicuo town without nei'1and acquisition. C. Extension of Beicuo I OkV Substation The extension work will be performed in the area of the existing Buicuo 1 OkV Substation without new land acquisition. 1.2.3 Project Progress The project construction will be started in March of 2000 and completed in Sep. 2000, with the total construction period of 7 months. 1.3 Project Design And Review The project was designed by Fujian Power Investigation and Design Institute. Recently , the technical and economical indexes of this project has been fully 5 analyzed by the designer and several farm sites were compared in the aspects of impact on local social and economic development, land acquisition, geological structures, wind resources, construction condition, transportation condition and maintenance condition of equipment after installation. Finally, Changjiang'ao site was recommended. In Sep. 1998 , according to work meeting about the Word Bank's loan project convened by the State Power Corp and relative departments' suggestion, Fujian Wind Power Project Preparation Division properly readjust the scope of land acquisition of the project and inventory index affected by the project , also have revised this RAP report. 1.4 Mitigation Measures A. Reduction of land acquisition (1) Keep the project site away from the residential quarters. (2) Keep the project site away from farmland and minimize the requisitioned land quantity. B. Reduction of impact on local economy When the project construction unavoidably results in land acquisition and land allocation, the following measures will be taken to reduce the impact on the existing production and living condition of the local people. (1) Efforts will be made in data collection, analysis on the local existing social and economic condition and preparation of a feasible and practical resettlement action plan suitable for the local conditions, so as to -minimize the project impact. - (2) Efforts will be made to establish internal monitoring and external independent monitoring system and effective opinion feedback channels, so as to ensure a timely treatment of the problems occurring in implementing the resettlement action plan. (3) The construction design will be optimized and the construction period well arranged, trying to avoid construction activity in strong wind seasons and harvest season to reduce impact on local production. (4) During project construction, privilege will be given to use local construction materials, the local transportation and laborers provided that the technical requirement is met, so as to benefit the affected people from the project. 6 2. Social and Economic Conditions of Affected Areas Pingtan Wind Power Project will occupy 87mu land, which is the state-owned land with shelter forest of Fujian Province and Pingtan county. In order to analyze the impact of the project and prepare a practicable resettlement action plan, Fujian Wind Power Project Preparation Division organized the relative departnents in May 1998, under the technical guidance of the East China Investigation and Design Institute, to make a complete social baseline survey for Fujian Province, Pingtan county and the state-owned protection woods of Pingtan county. (See Attachment 1: Social And Economic Survey Results For Project Affected Area) Fujian Province is located on the east coast area, neighboring Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong and Taiwan provinces.

Pingtan county is located at the middle coast area of Fujian Province, opposite side of Haitan strait. It is so called as "wind county" with rich wind power resources. The territory of the county is 307.9 km2, of which 304.84krn2 is the land area distributed with hills, terraces and plains, with 408.73km long coast line. The total population by the end of 1996 was 371326 (including 338026 agricultural persons, accounting for 91.03%), of which 155526 were rural labors. The population density was 1198 person/km2 and the population growth rate 2.822%. The total cultivated land by the end of 1996 was 103275mu (2067mu for paddy field and 101208mu for dry field), with grain output of 30567 tons, 7 85kg per person. The cultivated land holding per agricultural person was 0.3 lmu; the forest area was 145600 mu, with forest coverage of 35.17% and woods planted area of 3 150mu (3080mu for protection woods). In 1996, the gross national production(GNP) of Pingtan county was 205622 RMBY (by the 1996 price, same as below), increased by 31.1% (compared with 1995, samne as below); the gross domestic production value 1.82622 billion RMBY, increased by 29.7%, of which 995.97 million RMBY for the primary industry accounting for 54.5% and increased by 22.1%, 246.57 million RMBY for the secondary industry accounting for 13.5% and increased by 66.3%, and 583.68 million RMBY for the tertiary industry accounting for 32% and increased by 81.4%; the GNP per capita was 5725 RMBY.

The average net income of agricultural household was 2385 RMBY and average net income of farmer was 1215.6 RMBY. The Pingtan State-owned Shelter Forest Farm, under jurisdiction of Fuzhou Forest Bureau, cover 37 administrative villages of Tancheng town, Lancheng township, Liushui town, Zhonglou township, Pingyuan township and Yaoqian town. It links with Longlitoupu beach at the east, Gaoxia, Shangban and Pingyuan township at the west, Jiangyu beach of Zhuyu port at the south, and Lubei-changjiang beach at the north. 3 of 5 wind mouths of Pingtan county are located in the farm (Changjiang'ao, Yanxia, Longwangtou). The total land area of the farm is 19937 mu, of which 17871mu is for woodland (15986 mu for land planted with trees accounting for 89.4%, 299mu for- land without trees accounting for 1.7% and 1586mu for others ccounting for 8.9%). The shelter forest area of the farm is 15531mu accounting for 97.2% of existing woodland area, 15mu for economic woods accounting for 1% of existing woodland area, and 300mu for special woods accounting for 1.8% of existing woodland area. The total survival tree storage of the farm is 26661m3. In 1997, the farm had 92 staff (18 cadres, 61 permanent staff, 8 contracted workers and 5 collective workers). The fund source of the farm in 1997 was mainly from the government allocation, being 159000 RMBY. The income from main business was 53720 RMBY, from real estate 1069767 RMBY, from operating restaurant 225650 RMBY, and the net profit was 268440.21 RMBY, which resulted in debt operation. In order to get the best concerted economic, biologic and social benefits, the farm will make great efforts to develop the tertiary industry based on the local condition and forest resources to increase the economic income. 8 3. Project Impact 3.1 Determination of Project Impact Scope A. Permanent land occupation The scope of land acquisition for Pingtan Wind Power Farm will be determined by the following principles: (1) The scope of land acquisition for transformeT room is just inside the fence. (2) The scope of land acquisition for generator unit and pavement is just for its base area. (3) The scope of land acquisition for central control building and step-up station is just 4m outside the wall. B. Temporary land use for construction Tlhe temporary land area for construction will be determined according to the features of construction equipment and different construction method. 3.2 Project Impact Survey Fujian Wind Power Project Preparation Division organized the construction unit and designer in May 1998 to make a complete social baseline survey within the land acquisition scope and inventory to be affected by Pingtan (Changjiang'ao) Wind Power Farm. The designer mark-ed initially the layout on 1:10000 topographic map first and then made field survey with assistance of relative departments of people's governments above-%unty level (including the-county). Based on the survey results, comments of relative departments of concerned people's governments, technical and economic conditions, the geographic location of project was selected. According to the project and construction features of structures, the scope for land acquisition was determined. And, the inventory indexes were determined during field survey by the designer with 1:10000 topographic map under the assistance of relative departments of the concerned people's governnents. 3.3 Inventory Index Affected By Project By the general project layout and field survey, there will be no house relocation and resettlement within the project area. All the land affected is of state-owned shelter forest land, which will be allocated for the project by the government. As a whole, 187mu land will be requisitioned, 87mu for permanent use and 1OOmu for temporary use. 9 (1) Permanent land acquisition The pernanent land acquisition is for permanent structures and road. The permanent land acquisition is only 9mu. See Table 3.1 for inventory survey indexes. Inventory Survey Indexes For Permanent Land Acquisition Table 3.1 Unit: mu Description Shelter forest of State-owed Total Pingtan county shelter forest Wind power generator 1.3 5.7 7.0 Transformer room 0.1 0.7 0.8 Access within the farm 7.0 24.0 31.0 Central control building and lOkV 48.2 48.2 distribution apparatus building Total 8.4 78.6 87.0 (2) Temporary land requisition The temporary land acquisition is to borrow land during construction period. By the designer's previous construction experience and the project features, lOOmu is required (16mu from the shelter forest of Pingtan County, 84mu from state- owned shelter forest of Fujian Province). This kind of land is only for construction purpose. After construction, it will be returned timely to the original owner for re-cultivation. The cost for re-cultivation will be listed in the resettlement cost estimation. 10 4.

Plan for Production Restoration 5.1 Project Influences The site selected for Pingtan Wind fann is located at Changjiang'ao, in the northwest of Pingtan County. The existing shelter-forest at the Changjiang'ao wind mouth is about 6680 mu (among which the shelter-forest owned by Fujian Province is 4680 mu and the remaining 2000 mu shelter-forest belongs to Pingtan County). The project land requisition will mainly affect the shelter-forests of Pingtan County and the shelter-forests owned by Fujian Province. Within the scope of the wind farm site, there will be no resettlers , livestocks , houses or other facilities needed to remove, only few woodland owned by the state will be transferred. The specific analyses on impact on living conditions and local production as well as the economic income of the local people by the project occupation are as follows. (1) In Fujian Pingtan State Shelter-forest Farm, the area of woodland per capita is 194.25 mu. Since project only occupies 78.6 mu woodland , the population affected will be only 0.4 mu/person (78.6 mu / 194.25 person). Thus, there basically has no surplus labor force created by the project occupation.. (2) For Fujian Pingtan State Shelter-forest Farm, the economic incomes mainly are coming from the financial allocation by the higher authorities, which occupies 10.5% of the total; 70.9% of the farm's income is the profits earned from the tertiary industries; and the rest about 15% is administrative revenues collected from the restaurant contractors. The income from the forestry is not a major source which occupies 3.6% only in all income. The main functions for the shelter-forest are windproof and sand-fixation. With the function to protect the farmlands effectively so the shelter-forests have both the ecological and social benefits. Therefore, the project occupation will not directly decrease the economic income of the Fujian Pingtan State Shelter-forest Farm. (3) Total woodland for permanent project occupation is 87 mu only, which occupies 0.56% in the total area of 15531 mu shelter-forest, or 1.3% in the total 6680 mu shelter-forest in Changjiangao wind mouth area. Moreover, the project structures are separately arranged along the shelter-forest belt . Based on the relative technical estimation, there will not forn the new wind mouth. Therefore, no adverse influences will be causedfor windproof and sand-fixation. (4) About 200 mu of the shelter-forest will be cut down for construction of the project. The felling will be carried out in belt vertical to the wind direction, usually, the belt is 3m to 25 m wide which is less than the permissible width (_50m) issued by the afforestation department. The temporary land occupation for construction will be approved by the afforestation department in steps. In order to ensure no new wind mouth to be brought about, the trees will be separately felled at a certain intervals. By such measures, the influence on local environment and local daily life is very small 19 and all adverse factors will be minimized or eliminated by the rehabilitation measures. 5.2 Shelter-forest Restoration Plan A. Shelter-forest Restoration Plan for the woodland permanently occupied The abstract from the development plan in period of 1997 to 2000 prepared by the Fujian Pingtan State-owned Shelter-forest Farm is briefly described as below. (1) Having attacked by typhoons, plant diseases and pests, the shelter-forest (Casuarina equisetifolia wood) planted in the early years has a gradually degraded protecting functions now. Therefore, efforts will be paid to prevent and control the plant diseases and eliminate the pests. Within the planned operation period, effort to prevent and control Cossoidea diseases will be made for 8000 mu woodland every year. (2) The felling method will be upgraded, so as to adjust the tree species and tree-age structure. Growing young trees will be enhanced within the period, 8 mu sapling will be planted every year. (3) By the plan, within the planned operation period, an area of 293 mu forest land will be created, in which about 120 mu forest will be planted at the wind mouth. The project will occupy 87mu land, in which 78.6mu belongs to Fujian Pingtan State Shelter-forest Farm. Based on the development plan in period of 1997 to 2000 prepared by the Fujian Pingtan State Shelter-forest Farm and combining concept of this resettlement action plan , the 78.6mu shelter-forest will be re-planted by the Shelter-forest Farm themselves, using the, lad compensation at the Changjiang'ao area . Besides , about 8.4mu shelter-forest land occupied by the project is located in the county-owned wood farm . 8.4mu new shelter-forest land will be created by local county-owed wood farm at other place in Changjiang'ao area, using the land compensation fees. B. Shelter-forest-Rcstoration Plan for the woodland temporarily occupied The project will temporarily occupy 1OOmu shelter-forest land , of which , 84mu from Fujian Pingtan State-owned Shelter-forest Farm and 1 6mu from Pingtan County-owned Wood Farm . For restoration of the shelter-forest by the temporary project land occupation , young Casuarina equisetifolia trees will be planted by the original operation units for restoration of the forest in accordance with construction features and the wood farms' development plans . The trees will be planted separately at a certain intervals. Besides, great attention will be paid to prevention 20 and control of the plant diseases and elimination of pests, to rehabilitate and enhance the shelter-forest functions for windproof and sand-fixation. 5.3 Main Technical Measures for Shelter-forest Restoration (1) Sapling selection The restoration of forests in the woodland occupied by the project is mainly by selecting other places in the Changjiang'ao area. Sapling species selected is composed of the hybrid species wood and P. Elliottii Engelm, mainly being Casuarina equisetifolia woods. The P. Elliottii Engelm are vesseled saplings and the Casuarina equisetifolia wood have both vesseled saplings and naked root saplings. The woodland will be planted 450 to 500 trees per mu, half of which are vesseled saplings, open holes will be dug for applying the base manure (or compound fertilizer 0.1 to 0.15 kg/hole). The interval between trees will be controlled flexibly. (2) Tending for young growth Based on the actual conditions, the tending for young growth will be by applying manure and digging ditch for drainage. In first year after planting, earthing up, fostering and examining will be enhanced after the wind calamity so as to ensure saplings survival. In the second and third year, manure will be applied once a year after plant. Ditches round a tree will be 20 cm depth for applying fertilizer of calcium superphosphate and carbamide, 0.1 to 0.15 kg for each tree. At present, some area of the standing forest is in seriously accumulated water, it will seriously impact the normal growth and development of the trees. Thus, the ditches will be dug for discharging the accumulated water. The digging method, size and direction of the ditch will be determined according to the actual conditions. 5.4 Investment for Shelter-forest Restoration- According to the main technical measures for shelter-forest restoration , the total estimating investment is 280,500 Yuan (1, OOYuaii/muX 187mu) for the restoration of shelter-forest by the permanent and temporary land occupation . The details of the investment standard for restoration of the shelter-forest refer to Table 5-1.

Do you think you will support the state construction? 0l Yes O No. 0 No idea II. Questions and Answers: (with simple answers only) 1. What influences caused by the project construction will be brought about on your family and local society? 2. How do you support the project construction? 3. Please write down your comments and opinions -about the project land requisition and house removal. In the investigation, 35 questionnaire sheets were sent out and received (among which 23 sheets were received from the State wood farm). The survey basically covered the whole affected area. Analysis on the survey results shows that: (1) the main problem affecting the local economic development is power supply (74.3%), traffic conditions (31.5%), natural recourses (23%) and the others (17.2%). (2) About 91.5% households investigated know that a windfarm will be constructed in the area; (3) 100% households investigated consider that construction of the windfarm is favorable for promoting the local economic development; (4) all of them consider that it is necessary to construct the windfarn project; (5) the question about advantages and disadvantages: 68.6% of the people in survey think it is favorable for local benefits, nobody holds the opposite opinion and 28.6% of them think that it may have both the advantages and disadvantages factors; (6) all the people in survey think.that they will support the State constructions. Besides, in the column of the 31 "Question and Answers", 23 sheets made detail answers (by the workers of the State Wood Farm), among which 95.7% think that the construction will bring the positive influence on the local society and family income. It will improve the infrastructures construction in Pingtan County. All people think that they will actively support the State constructions. Though there is no inhabitants resettlement required in the project, 47.8% people in survey still think that the laid-off workers need to be arranged with job in the windfarm. 8.3 Public Participation in Implementation Of RAP During implementation of RAP, the resettlers will be encouraged to actively participate in: (1) Management and supervision of the use of compensation The compensation belongs to the collectives and should not be carved up or used for other purpose. After compensation paid to Fujian Pingtan State Shelter-forest Farm, it will be used in a planned way as a fund for special purpose. Use of the fund will be approved by the Staff Representative Conference and under their supervision. (2) Participation in Project Construction The project construction will cause certain impact on the local area. In order to ensure the affected persons to get benefit from the project construction, it is to encourage public participation and give convenience to the supplying construction material and labor employment. 8.4 Appeal Mechanism and its Channel During implementing and compiling the Resettlement Action Plan, it is always to encourage the public participation, but there still- will be some'problems occurred. In order to solve problems effectively and onsure the project construction and land acquisition to be carried out successfully, except the existing appeal ways set in the local government at all levels, an unobstructed and effective appeal way will be established. The special procedures are as follows.' Stage 1: In the implementing process, if Fujian Pingtan State Shelter-forest Farm is not satisfied in their environment of both daily life and production, they will appeal to the County Land Administrative Bureau.
