TYPE II ACTIONS
The purpose of this Appendix is to classify actions or classes
				of actions which the issuer has determined not to have a significant effect
				upon the environment and which do not require environmental impact
				statements.
Type II actions shall include:
All actions designated as Type II actions in 6 NYCYRR
				617.12.
Indicating conditional approval of an application, i.e., a
				general and preliminary expression of issuer assent that a project proposed by
				an applicant is feasible in light of environmental and statutory constraints. A
				conditional approval does not automatically assure final issuer approval of a
				project, as final approval by the issuer of a project will be based on more
				complete and developed engineering and other planning details provided by the
				applicant at a later date. At the time of giving conditional approval to a
				project, the issuer may authorize the applicant to undertake technical,
				engineering, economic, planning, environmental, feasibility or research
				studies, reports or memoranda which are preliminary to and may support the
				formulation of proposals for the action provided no such preliminary approval
				shall require the issuer to make any final decision with respect to such action
				unless and until the requirements of this Part have been fulfilled.
The operation, repair, maintenance or minor alteration of
				existing structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, land, land uses or
				topographical features involving no expansion of use beyond that previously
				existing.
Replacement, restoration or reconstruction of existing
				structures or facilities to be located on substantially the same site and
				having substantially the same purpose or capacity as presently existing.
The construction and location of small new facilities or
				structures and the installation of minor new equipment and facilities, provided
				such construction or location has no physical effect on unusual or unique
				areas, including Federal or State registered historic sites and critical areas
				designated in 6 NYCRR 617.12 Type I(a) (22) and (23).
Reconditioning of existing facilities and structures, including
				essentially maintenance-type work with improvements to correct substandard
				features.
Minor reconstruction of existing facilities and structures
				without making major expansion of said facilities or structures. These projects
				shall qualify as Type II only if the project requires:
Less than a 50 percent expansion of said facilities, and
No physical effect on unusual or unique areas, including
				Federal or State registered historic sites and critical areas designated in 6
				NYCRR 617.12 Type I (a)(22) and (23).
The execution of a lease for the use of issuer owned property
				where the lease provides for the use of the land and/or structures in their
				present condition.
The approval or funding of construction projects where such
				projects will not exceed the limits contained in paragraph 7 of this
				Appendix.
The sale or disposal of issuer-owned land, structures,
				facilities or other property.
Preparing, establishing, maintaining, modifying and updating
				directives, rules, regulations, policies, procedures, guidelines etc., which do
				not commit the issuer to undertake new programs and which do not involve a
				major reordering of priorities.
The review of environmental impact statements prepared by
				others.
Defining the scope of services, negotiating and executing
				contracts with consultants for professional services.
The conduct, preparation or review of technical, engineering,
				economic, planning, environmental, feasibility or research studies, reports or
				memoranda which are preliminary to and may support the formulation of
				proposal(s) for action(s) which do not otherwise commit the issuer to commence
				or engage in such action.
Planning, budgeting, cost estimation, preparation of work
				programs and other project process activities.
All routine administration, coordination, review and management
				activities of the issuer.
Collective bargaining activities.
The making of investments by or on behalf of the issuer.
The preparation of agreements (including leases, indentures,
				guarantees, construction agreements and similar documents) which are
				preliminary to and may support the formulation of proposal(s) for action(s)
				which do not otherwise commit the issuer to commence or engage in such
				action.
The preparation and/or execution of any purchase orders for
				materials, supplies or equipment.
Training and training programs.
Issuances of indebtedness.
