					 and operation of ski tows and other passenger tramways. It is recognized that
					 certain dangers and risks are inherent in the operation of machines of this
					 type. It is also recognized that inherent and other risks or dangers exist for
					 those who are in the process of approaching, loading, unloading, and departing
					 from passenger tramways. This Part is intended to result in passenger tramways
					 that are designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in a manner that helps
					 reduce danger and exposure to risk to passengers, and maintenance and
					 operational personnel. This Part is intended to be construed accordingly and to
					 be read, construed and applied with sections 27, 200 and
					 202-c  of the Labor Law.
(b) No provision of this Part as amended,
					 effective the date adopted, requires or is intended to require any

					 the effective date of this code, and which complies with prior editions or
					 versions of this Part or with variations granted and in effect thereto, except
					 as may be needed to carry out the provisions of subdivision (d) of this
					 section. Existing passenger tramways, when removed and reinstalled, shall be
					 classified as new installations.
(c) New installations and those with plan
					 reviews completed after the effective date of this code shall be in compliance
					 with this Part.
(d) A passenger
					 tramway modification shall be defined as an alteration of the current design of
					 the passenger tramway which results in:
(1) a
					 change in the design speed of the system;
(2) a change in the rated capacity by
					 changing the number of carriers, spacing of carriers, or load capacity of
					 carriers;
(3) a change in the path
					 of the rope;
(4) any change in the
					 type of brakes and/or backstop devices or components thereof;
(5) a change in the structural
					 arrangements;
(6) a change in power
					 or type of prime mover or auxiliary engine;
(7) a change to control system
					 logic.
