The City Clerk shall maintain files open for public inspection
of all notices of completion, draft and final environmental impact
statements and written determinations prepared or caused to be prepared
by the City. Duplicates of all such files shall be maintained by the
Planning Commission in the office of the Director of Planning and
Development. The Director of Planning and Development shall also maintain
for public review a copy of Article 8 of the New York State Environmental
Conservation Law, as amended, and its implementing regulations, as
included in Part 617 of Title 6 NYCRR.
When more than one agency is involved in an action, the procedures
of Section 617.6 and 617.7 of Part 617 of Title 6 NYCRR[1] shall be followed. In such cases, it shall be the policy
of the City to encourage that lead agency designation be assumed by
the local governmental agency having jurisdiction, if practicable.

Editor's Note: See now 6 NYCRR 617.6, 617.7 and 617.8.
Actions undertaken or approved prior to the dates specified
in Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law shall be exempt
from this chapter and the provisions of Article 8 of the Environmental
Conservation Law and Part 617 of Title 6 NYCRR; provided, however,
that if, after such dates, the Common Council or any other board,
department, commission, officer or employee of the City having jurisdiction
modifies an action undertaken or approved prior to that date and the
Planning Commission determines that the modification may have a significant
effect on the environment, such modification shall be an action subject
to this chapter and Part 617 of Title 6 NYCRR.
