This section requires the PSC to facilitate contacts with state agencies and local governments with respect to review of permit applications on expansion of natural gas service. The PSC is authorized to act as lead agency for SEQRA on natural gas expansion. In addition DOT and EnCon to extent feasible are to expedite applications for expansion of natural gas. Section 3.

MAZIARZ -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Energy and Telecommuni- cations AN ACT to amend the public service law, the public buildings law, the state finance law, the tax law, the real property tax law and the public authorities law, in relation to expansion of natural gas service THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that the expansion of natural gas service for heating purposes has multiple bene- fits to New Yorkers, including a reduction in pollution with the result- ant health benefits from the conversion to a cleaner fuel, increased economic activity with the creation of jobs necessary to expand natural gas service, energy cost savings to consumers, and an increase in energy efficiency particularly through the use of natural gas for water heating versus electric or propane. Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. It has a positive impact on the environment by cutting emissions of particulate matter emitted by heating oils. These emissions have been linked to heart and lung conditions and contribute to asthma rates, particularly in urban areas. There are greater annual emissions reductions from natural gas conversion than the use of solar. Without expansion of natural gas service there are limited opportunities for conversion to clean heat from oil and propane. There are approximately 550,000 residential customers in New York State that currently burn other fuels who are located near natural gas service. Natural gas prices are at a low point and the availability of natural gas eliminates any reliability issue. Savings in heating costs through natural gas conversion will result in increased disposable income for consumers. It also creates a positive incentive for manufacturers and EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD11148-01-3
