Abstract Having analyzed the current administrative division and administrative and financial management, the authors suggest creating a Federal district with a single system of economic, social and environmental administration aimed to achieve the goals of sustainable development in the region within the Russian Federation on the basis of consistency and territorial and ethnic integrity. The forwarded structural change will improve the effectiveness of the Federal government by establishing the Arctic Northern Sea Route infrastructure assuming such issues as transnational traffic, global base for hydrocarbon exploration and production, as well as targeted investments. Shorter time intervals ease monitoring and contribute to management efficiency and execution of decisions along with delayering. Funding and raising taxes through centralizing and integrating certain marginal regions into one comprehensive structure will become more efficient and will result in less spending. Creating a Federal structure based on new principles will become a driver for a handful of initiatives, such as arranging inter-ethnic economic relations between the subjects of the Russian Federation, implementing a consistent and systemic approach to monitoring and administration for natural resources. Technology management and operational safety control will help avoid such accidents as man-made disasters in the region.
