manufacturer  of  the  children's  product  to  provide  a  statement of
compliance on a form provided by the department, within fifteen days  of
receipt  of  a  request from the department. The statement of compliance
shall:
(a)  attest  that  the  children's  product  does  not   contain   the
high-priority chemical; or
(b) attest that notification required by section 37-0913 of this title

product in this state  that  the  sale  of  the  children's  product  is
prohibited;
(d)  attest that the presence of a high-priority chemical is only as a
trace contaminant; or

§ 40-0101. Legislative findings and declarations.
The  legislature  finds  and declares that the lands, water and air of
  New York state  constitute  an  irreplaceable  resource  upon  which  is
  founded  the  well-being  of  public  health,  economic vitality and the
  state's environment. These resources may be contaminated by releases  of
  hazardous substances from active and abandoned storage facilities.  Once
  these  resources are contaminated, they cannot be completely restored to
  their original state and therefore, contamination of the resources  must
  be  prevented  through  improved  safeguards  in  storage,  handling and
  processing of hazardous substances.
The legislature finds and declares these releases to be  a  threat  to
  the  public  health  and  welfare  and hereby exercises the power of the
  state to prevent these releases from occurring through the establishment
  of a state regulatory program  governing  existing,  new  and  abandoned
  facilities.
2023 New York Laws › ENV - Environmental Conservation › Article 40 - Hazardous Substances Bulk Storage Act › 40-0103 - Applicability.

  provide revenues sufficient to meet the costs incurred by the department
  in  implementing  the  provisions  of  this  article  on  and  after the
  promulgation of the schedule of registration fees.  All  fees  collected
  pursuant  to  this  section  shall  be paid to the state comptroller for
