 [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

 CASE  OF A FACILITY, THAT AS PROPOSED, WOULD TRANSMIT ELECTRICITY GENER-
 ATED FROM RESOURCES LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOUNDARIES OF NEW YORK STATE,

   2. In the case of an electric transmission line to be  constructed  by
