this article for a certificate or amendment  thereof,  upon  the  record
made  before  the presiding examiner, including any briefs or exceptions
to any recommended decision of such examiner or to  any  report  of  the
associate  examiner,  and  after hearing such oral argument as the board
shall determine. [Except for good cause shown to the satisfaction of the
board, a determination under subdivision five  of  section  one  hundred
sixty-seven  of this article that the applicant's proposal is preferable
to alternatives shall be final. Such a determination shall be subject to
rehearing and review only after the final decision on an application  is
rendered.]  SUCH  A  DETERMINATION, BEFORE IT SHALL BE CONSIDERED FINAL,
SHALL BE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL THROUGH PUBLIC REFERENDUM BY THE COUNTY  OR
DISTRICT IN WHICH THE FACILITY APPLYING TO THE BOARD IS LOCATED.
  7.  Following  [any  rehearing  and any judicial review of the board's
decision] THE PUBLIC REFERENDUM, the board's jurisdiction over an appli-
cation shall cease, provided, however, that the  permanent  board  shall
retain jurisdiction with respect to the amendment, suspension or revoca-
tion of a certificate.
  S  2.  Section  170  of  the  public service law is REPEALED and a new
section 170 is added to read as follows:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD13136-03-5
