   Section  1.    Subdivision  2  of section 23-1713 of the environmental
 conservation law, as added by chapter  892  of  the  laws  of  1976,  is
 amended to read as follows:
   2.  [The department of transportation in consultation with the depart-
 ment of environmental conservation  shall  establish  criteria  for  the
 safe]  ALL  transportation of such liquefied natural and petroleum gas[.
 Such criteria shall take into consideration the proximity of  the  route
 or  routes  to  contiguous populations, the capability of municipal fire
 departments to protect communities and  contiguous  populations  against
 fire cloud damage attendant upon vapor release of the gas from its cryo-
 genic state due to accident or malfunction in equipment, and the risk of
 further  accident  related  thereto and conflagration attendant upon its
 ignition. Such department's criteria shall be no less  restrictive  than
 existing federal regulations. Such department shall within one year from
 the  effective  date  of this section, adopt regulations prescribing the
 forms and procedures to be followed, which shall include notice  to  all
 affected municipal police and fire departments, for the certification of
 routes  to be used for the safe intrastate transportation of such lique-
 fied natural and petroleum gas] SHALL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL
 AND STATE LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS AND BE CONDUCTED BY CARRIERS  WITH
 A  HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SAFETY PERMIT ISSUED BY THE FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER
 SAFETY ADMINISTRATION.
   § 2. Subdivisions 1, 3 and 4 of section 23-1713 of  the  environmental
 conservation law are REPEALED.
