2021 New York Laws EXC - Executive Article 39 - Office of Business Permits 883 - Conceptual Review.

* § 883. Conceptual  review.  1.  The  office  at  the  request of the   director may, at the request of any person proceeding in accordance with   section eight hundred eighty-one of this article, provide  a  conceptual   review  of  a  proposed business undertaking, project, or activity which   may require multiple permits, which will take place in  phases  over  an   extended  period  of time, or which will involve substantial expense for   preparing detailed plans, specifications, and permit applications.  Each   interested  state agency shall participate in the conceptual review; and   the person shall provide such information in addition to  that  provided   in  the  master  application  as  the  state  agencies  shall reasonably   request.2. After consideration of the master application  and  any  additional   information,  each  interested state agency shall render to the person a   written conceptual review determination, which will provide an  official   opinion  as  to  the  general  acceptability  of  the  proposed business   undertaking, project, or activity and which will state all permits which   such agency would require, the standards and conditions which would have   to be met in order to obtain approval of such permits, and any  properly   related circumstances or findings.3. Each interested state agency participating in the conceptual review   shall render the written conceptual review determination within a period   not  exceeding sixty days from the date fixed by the director, provided,   however, that such period may be extended by the director at the request   of an interested state agency  for  the  further  consideration  of  the   master application and any additional information provided in accordance   with  subdivision  one  of  this  section. The director shall advise the   person having requested the conceptual review  of  such  extension,  the   reasons  therefor,  and  the  revised  period  fixed by the director for   rendering the conceptual review determination; and such person shall  be   entitled to confer with the office and with any state agency having been   granted  an  extension of time to ascertain what further information, if   any, is required to facilitate the conceptual review determination.4. A conceptual review determination shall not relieve the person from   the responsibility of  obtaining  any  required  permits  and  shall  be   contingent  upon  the  submission of such detailed plans, specifications   and information as may be required for permit applications. A conceptual   review  determination  shall  remain  in  effect  indefinitely  for  the   proposed  business undertaking, project, or activity as described in the   master application and any additional information submitted as  part  of   the   conceptual   review,   provided,   however,  that  if  new  permit   requirements or related standards, over which  a  state  agency  has  no   control  or  discretion  in  establishing  the  effective  date thereof,   subsequently become effective, such new permit requirements or standards   shall not be considered to have  been  part  of  the  conceptual  review   determination.5.  The  office  shall  provide  in its rules for the procedures to be   followed in the conduct of a conceptual review and shall coordinate  the   delivery  of  conceptual  review determinations to the person, provided,   however, that any state agency authorized to conduct a conceptual review   under other provisions of law may, in consultation with the  person  and   the  director, elect to follow such provisions with respect to rendering   the conceptual review determination authorized by this section.* NB Authority of office terminated per § 893 December 31, 1995
