by chapter 272 of the laws of 1970, subdivision 2 as  added  by  chapter

  (d)  in  the  case of an electric transmission line, (1) what part, if

conforms  to  a  long-range  plan  for  THE  expansion,  MAINTENANCE AND
IMPROVEMENT of the electric power grid of the electric  systems  serving
[this]  NEW  YORK  state  and interconnected utility systems, which will
serve the interests of electric system economy and reliability; (3) THAT

PROPOSED  GENERATING  RESOURCES  OR  IN  THE  CASE OF A FACILITY THAT AS
PROPOSED, HAS A DESIGN CAPACITY OF LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED KILOVOLTS, THAT
NO ACCOMMODATION IS NECESSARY BECAUSE SUCH ACCOMMODATION WOULD NOT BE IN
THE INTERESTS OF ELECTRIC SYSTEM ECONOMY AND RELIABILITY; AND (4) IN THE
CASE OF A FACILITY, THAT AS PROPOSED, WOULD TRANSMIT ELECTRICITY  GENER-
ATED FROM RESOURCES LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOUNDARIES OF NEW YORK STATE,
THAT  SUCH  ELECTRICITY WOULD BE PRODUCED IN A MANNER THAT IS CONSISTENT
WITH THE POWER PLANT EMISSIONS  AND  PERFORMANCE  STANDARDS  ESTABLISHED

  2.  In  the case of an electric transmission line to be constructed by
the power authority of the state of New York and located in  part  under
the  waters of Long Island Sound and for the remaining part underground,
