Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
In addition to the list of actions contained in 6 NYCRR
				  617.13, the following actions or classes of actions do not have a significant
				  effect on the environment and do not require environmental impact statements or
				  any other determination or procedure under the State Environmental Quality
				  Review Act or Part 617 of Title 6 NYCRR:
(a) design, laboratory testing, construction,
				installation, or demonstration of:
(1)
				lighting and daylighting systems which include such components as ballasts,
				controls, automatic dimmers, reostats, luminaires, lamps, reflectors, or
				louvers;
(2) more energy-efficient,
				or minor modifications to, heating or air conditioning equipment or systems
				using less than five million Btu's per hour;
(3) more energy-efficient, or minor
				modifications to, conventional refrigeration equipment, motors, compressors,
				pumps, or fans;
(4) more
				energy-efficient, or minor modifications to, heat exchangers, recuperators,
				heat pipes, heat wheels, or mechanical heat pumps of less than 10 million Btu's
				per hour heat recovery;
(5) minor
				new devices, instrumentation, or equipment for measuring or monitoring air or
				water quality at existing facilities;
(6) blowers, pumps, fans, air diffusers,
				dewatering apparatus, heat pumps, or other comparable energy-saving equipment
				for water or sewage treatment works, or the minor alteration of the related
				existing structures, buildings, or facilities involving no expansion of use
				beyond that previously existing;
(7) safety or health protective devices for
				use during construction of, or in conjunction with, structures, facilities, or
				mechanical equipment;
(8)
				insulation, weatherstripping, storm windows, submeters, load management
				systems, or similar energy conservation measures;
(9) computer programs;
(10) minor equipment additions for separating
				components, or mechanically changing the shape or form, of nonhazardous solid
				waste at existing resource recovery facilities, provided that any installation
				and demonstration is limited to minor equipment modifications of an existing
				system for source separation or mechanical change of shape or form;
(11) passive solar and solar-electric
				techniques in existing buildings, but not including additions to the building
				or solar-electric installations of more than 4,000 square feet;
(12) local traffic control systems;
(13) closed-cycle earth heat exchange systems
				producing less than one million Btu's per hour;
(14) minor new devices for electrical
				interconnection of existing wind turbines, cogeneration equipment, electric
				vehicle charging or photovoltaic energy systems, having an installed generating
				capacity of five megawatts or less, with existing transmission or distribution
				facilities;
(15) process controls
				or control systems that do not result in increased emissions or production of
				wastes, such as computer hardware or software, programmable controllers,
				robots, or related automation equipment;
(16) mechanical technologies, such as filters
				or membranes, for separating liquids or gases for purposes of recovering or
				recycling components, energy, or water in connection with existing
				facilities;
(17) fully or
				semi-automated laser, other electrically powered, lighting, hot-air, infrared,
				or lamination technologies for materials cutting, spot heating, or treating in
				manufacturing operations;
(18)
				minor new devices, instrumentation, or equipment, but not including the
				construction of towers, for measuring or monitoring the performance of an
				operation, process, or system or to support remote or wireless
				communications;
(19) engines or
				fuel cells producing no more than 200 kilowatts that either use existing fuel
				supplies or involve new fuel storage supplies of not more than 500
				liters;
