Liabilities of the city or the board of transportation for:\n  (1) Pension or retirement contributions on behalf of persons who were\nemployed on transit facilities heretofore acquired by the city.\n  (2) Contributions to the New York City employees' retirement system on\nbehalf of officers or employees whose compensation has been paid out of\nthe operating revenues of the board of transportation of the city, which\ncontributions have or shall hereafter become due or payable for fiscal\nyears of the city ending on or before June thirtieth, nineteen hundred\nfifty-three.\n  c. All other liabilities of the board of transportation on the date of\nthe conveyance.\n  d.

The report shall include, but not be limited to an\nitemized summary of all monies spent, bids requested and received,\ncontracts let, and actual work done on noise abatement programs during\nthe previous period. Any and all subway noise measurements made during\nthe previous period shall be included, with, whenever possible, analyses\nof such measurements.\n  Such annual report shall also include a detailed analysis of all\nfuture noise abatement activities planned for the upcoming twelve\nmonths. These reports shall also include comprehensive statements of\nprogress made on all planned noise abatement activities included in the\nprevious annual report.\n  Nothing herein shall preclude such report from being incorporated in\nthe authority's annual capital report submitted pursuant to the "capital\nfinancing and services system act of nineteen hundred eighty-one," so\nlong as it is maintained as a separate, distinct and identifiable\ncomponent in such report.\n
