Public comment is sought regarding an application jointly filed by New York Transco LLC and New York Power Authority (together, the Applicant) for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need (Certificate) pursuant to Article VII of the Public Service Law.

Of the approximately 89.7 miles of new underground transmission lines, two components are within New York State waters: (1) an approximately 9.1-mile crossing of the Long Island Sound between the Town of Oyster Bay and the City of New Rochelle and (2) an approximately 0.7-mile crossing of the East River and an approximately 0.3-mile crossing of the Westchester Creek in Bronx County.
Under New York State Law, the Public Service Commission (Commission) may adopt or reject the Applicant’s proposal, in whole or part, or modify it. In doing so, the Commission will consider, among other things, comments from the participating parties and the public.
