(a) With the
				exception of fiber optic signal transmission equipment, owned by transportation
				corporations defined in article 3 of the Transportation Corporation Law that
				are designated as public utilities by the Public Service Commission, the
				longitudinal use of bridges and highway rights-of-way under the jurisdiction of
				the New York State Bridge Authority by other than vehicle and pedestrian
				passage shall not be allowed.
(b)
				Subject to the provisions of this Part, New York State law, and the terms and
				conditions of any agreements entered into between the authority and such
				transportation corporations, the authority will make available the
				rights-of-way and structures under its jurisdiction to such transportation
				corporations for the longitudinal installation of fiber optic transmission
				equipment where they can be installed, operated and maintained safely and
				without negative impact on the primary use of the facilities of the authority
				by motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Leases for the
				right to construct and/or maintain and operate fiber optic equipment may be
				granted under the authority of section
				528
				(9) of the Public Authorities Law and shall
				be limited to a period of no more than 10 years from the date on which they are
				made.
(b) The authority shall seek
				separate proposals for each of its Hudson River facilities, except that the
				Newburgh-Beacon Bridge and the parallel Newburgh-Beacon Bridge may be deemed to
				be a single facility for the purposes of this Part. Proposers seeking access to
				more than one bridge may reply with a single proposal containing separate
				technical details rather than a separate proposal for each facility. Nothing
				herein shall be construed to prohibit any transportation corporation from being
				awarded leases to use more than one facility.
(c) Unless engineering, bridge maintenance or
				maintenance of traffic considerations require otherwise, the authority will not
				award an exclusive lease for sole access to any bridge by any lessee. In order
				to avoid interference with its regular operations, however, the authority does
				reserve the right to refrain, after the award of any lease or leases for access
				to any bridge, from the award of additional leases for access to the same
				bridge up to but not exceeding a period of 10 years.
(d) The authority may also accept proposals
				from and award leases to two or more transportation corporations acting as a
				joint venture.

				  shall also, however, administer the proposal, evaluation and award process in a
				  prompt and business-like manner.

				the fiber optic facilities for operation and maintenance including traffic
				control plans in conformity with the MUTCD;

				the proposed installed capacity;

				requests for private cable access to the leasee's excess conduit capacity may
				be made by other users and the terms and conditions of such use;
(5) the proposed payment to be made for
				occupancy of the authority's structures and right-of-way;
(6) the method of removal or abandonment of
				the equipment to be implemented at the end of the lease term; and

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a)
				Preliminary findings. If, after an investigation, commission staff finds a
				basis for believing that any lobbyist, public corporation or client has failed
				to register and report as required by the Lobbying Act, or has filed a false
				report, or has offered or given a gift with a value exceeding $75 to a public
				official, staff shall make a recommendation to the commissioners at a public
				meeting to refer such lobbyist, public corporation or client to a hearing. If,
				upon review of the information presented by staff, a majority of the
				commissioners does not agree with the staff recommendation, the commission may
				decide that the matter shall be closed, or may decide to refer the matter back
				to staff for further inquiry. Any matter referred back to commission staff for
				further inquiry, and any closed matter in which further information is obtained
				or which commission staff decides should be reopened for any other reason, may
				again be presented to the commissioners at a public meeting for referral to a
				hearing. If, upon review of the information presented by staff, a majority of
				the commissioners agrees with the staff recommendation and determines that
				there is reasonable cause to believe that a violation of the Lobbying Act has
				occurred, the commissioners shall direct that the matter be referred to a
				hearing and a notice of reasonable cause shall be sent to the lobbyist, public
				corporation or client.
(b) Notice
				of reasonable cause. Written notice of reasonable cause to believe that a
				violation of the Lobbying Act has occurred shall be sent by certified and
				first-class mail to the subject lobbyist, public corporation or client and

				of the lobbyist, public corporation or client's right to be represented, to
				testify, to produce witnesses, to present documentary evidence, and to examine
				opposing witnesses and evidence at the hearing;
(4) a statement for hearing impaired parties
				and participants concerning the provision of deaf interpretation without
				charge; and
