 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. WRIGHT -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Environmental Conservation

 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
 permit modifications, suspensions, revocations, renewals, reissuances
 and recertifications under the air quality control program

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 70-0115 of the environmental conservation law is
 2 amended by adding two new subdivisions 3 and 4 to read as follows:
 3 3. The following provisions shall apply to any permit required by the
 4 state air quality control program pursuant to title three or five of
 5 article nineteen of this chapter relating to air pollution and air
 6 contamination and any related enforcement activities. The provisions of
 7 this subdivision shall not apply to any registration issued to a facili-
 8 ty under article nineteen of this chapter pursuant to regulations by
 9 reason of (i) having annual emissions that are less than half of the
 10 level that would subject it to permitting under section 19-0311 of this
 11 chapter, (ii) not requiring the use of permit conditions to limit emis-
 12 sions below the thresholds that would otherwise make it subject to state
 13 or federal standards as determined by the department pursuant to regu-
 14 lation, and (iii) having emissions of high toxicity air contaminants
 15 that do not equal or exceed the applicable thresholds for permitting as
 16 set forth in regulations by the department:
 17 (a) Any permit which does not expire pursuant to its terms and which
 18 has been in effect for more than five years shall expire on the date
 19 which is two years after the effective date of this subdivision, and any
 20 renewal thereof shall include an expiration date which is no later than
 21 five years after the expiration contemplated by this subdivision, unless
 22 another period for expiration of ten years or less is applicable under
 23 this chapter.

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

 1 (b) The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only to permits for
 2 air pollution sources subject to Title V of the federal Clean Air Act
 3 regulated under section 19-0311 of this chapter. With respect to a
 4 permit that has been extended pursuant to subdivision two of section
 5 four hundred one of the state administrative procedure act by reason of
 6 the applicant making a timely and sufficient application:
 7 (i) If the department does not make a final determination on such
 8 application within twenty-four months of the later of the effective date
 9 of this subdivision or the date the application is received, the permit
 10 holder shall, within ninety days of such date, pay an amount equal to
 11 the annual fees owed by such permit holder pursuant to section 72-0303
 12 of this chapter to the air quality improvement fund as established in
 13 section ninety-nine-rr of the state finance law; provided, however, that
 14 notwithstanding any provision of such section to the contrary, expendi-
 15 tures from such fund for such amount shall be limited to spending that
 16 directly benefits communities which are directly affected by air
 17 pollution from the facility.
 18 (ii) If the department has not made a final determin
