 AN  ACT  to  amend  the  environmental  conservation law, in relation to

   and  completion  of draft environmental impact statements and environ-
   mental impact statements
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Subdivision  3  of  section  8-0109  of the environmental
 conservation law, as amended by chapter 252 of  the  laws  of  1977,  is
 amended to read as follows:
   3.  (A)  An agency may require an applicant to submit an environmental
 report to assist  the  agency  in  carrying  out  its  responsibilities,
 including  the  initial determination and, (where the applicant does not
 prepare the environmental impact statement), the preparation of an envi-
 ronmental impact statement under this article. The  agency  may  request
 such  other  information  from  an applicant necessary for the review of
 environmental impacts. Notwithstanding any use of outside  resources  or
 work,  agencies  shall make their own independent judgment of the scope,
 contents and adequacy of an environmental impact statement.
   (B) IN THE EVENT AN AGENCY REQUIRES AN APPLICANT TO SUBMIT AN ENVIRON-
 MENTAL REPORT, SUCH AGENCY SHALL PROVIDE NOTICE THEREOF  TO  THE  APPLI-
 CANT.
   (I)  UPON NOTICE OF THE REQUIREMENT TO SUBMIT AN ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT,
 AN APPLICANT SHALL SUBMIT SUCH REPORT TO THE AGENCY WITHIN  SIXTY  DAYS;
 AND
   (II)  UPON  RECEIPT  OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT FROM AN APPLICANT, THE
 AGENCY SHALL, WITHIN FORTY DAYS, REVIEW AND MAKE A DETERMINATION OF  THE
 NEED FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT AND THE SUBMISSION OF A DRAFT
