  4. [Within twelve months of the  completion  of  the  study  conducted

vals thereafter, the] THE authority shall submit to the governor and the

whenever possible, analyses of such measurements.
  Such ANNUAL report shall also  include  a  detailed  analysis  of  all
FUTURE noise abatement activities planned for the [next] UPCOMING twelve

shall also include comprehensive statements  of  progress  made  on  all
planned  noise  abatement  activities  included  in  the previous annual
report.
  Nothing herein shall preclude such report from being  incorporated  in
the authority's annual capital report submitted pursuant to the "capital
financing  and  services  system act of nineteen hundred eighty-one," so
long as it is maintained as a separate, distinct and identifiable compo-
nent in such report.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
