Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
WHEREAS, it is essential for the Federal government to
					 enlist the cooperation of State and local governments in evaluating, reviewing
					 and coordinating direct Federal developmental activities and federally assisted
					 programs and projects; and
WHEREAS, New York State has participated for more than a
					 decade through its State Clearinghouse in such a system of intergovernmental
					 consultation as prescribed for specified activities and programs by Circular
					 A-95 of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which had been issued
					 in 1969 to help effectuate two Federal statutes - section 204 of the
					 Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966 ( P.L. 89-754)
					 and section 401 of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968 ( P.L.
					 90-577); and
WHEREAS, OMB Circular A-95 was rescinded effective
					 September 30, 1983, concurrent with the effective date of Presidential
					 Executive Order 12372 on "Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs" (July
					 14, 1982), as amended by Presidential Executive Order 12416 (April 8, 1983);
					 and
WHEREAS, this Presidential Executive Order directs Federal
					 agencies to provide opportunities for consultation by elected officials of
					 State and local governments directly affected by proposed Federal developmental
					 activities or financial assistance, and to be responsive to recommendations
					 emanating from a single point of contact within any state; and
WHEREAS, such order enables and encourages each state, in
					 consultation with its local elected officials and governments, to develop and
					 establish its own review mechanism through which both State and local
					 governments can monitor and influence such proposed Federal activities and
					 assistance; and
WHEREAS, to ensure the manageability and effectiveness of
					 the review process in New York State, county governments, or multi-county
					 planning organizations where they exist, should be utilized to the extent
					 practicable as representatives of local government for development and
					 implementation of the intergovernmental review of Federal programs in the
					 State; and
WHEREAS, the State Clearinghouse in the New York State
					 Division of the Budget, after consultation with local elected officials and the
					 State's regional planning boards, has developed a New York State
					 Intergovernmental Review Process that is consistent with the objectives of
					 Presidential Executive Order 12372, as amended by Presidential Executive Order
					 12416;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mario M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of
					 New York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws
					 of the State of New York:
(1) Do hereby
				  designate the New York State Intergovernmental Review Process as the official
				  mechanism through which New York State and its local governments can provide
				  commentary into Federal decisionmaking processes that determine the outcome of
				  proposed direct Federal developmental activities and proposed Federal
				  assistance for other programs and projects; and
(2) Do further designate the Director of the
				  Budget or his designee as the required single point of contact for:
(a) coordinating operation of the
				  aforementioned review process;
(b)
				  revising its procedures and scope of coverage from time to time, as may be
				  necessary, after further consultation with local governments; and
(c) transmitting all official recommendations
				  generated by such process to the appropriate Federal authorities.
Signed: Mario M. Cuomo
Dated: October 30, 1984
