New York Transmission Company - Energy Highway

VI. Permit/Approval Process
The NY Transco will be committed to constructing electric transmission projects that will minimize the
impact to the environment and local communities. The Projects will be submitted, as required, to the
appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies for review and approval. NY Transco will collaborate with
all agencies and host utilities to develop the best projects for the State of New York.
The permits required will depend on each projects scope and proposed route, which, for most of the
projects, have not been finalized. A listing of the most common agencies and quasi-governmental entities
that the NY Transco can expect to interface with to obtain the necessary permits and approvals is set
forth immediately below:
• NY Public Service Commission • NY Dept. of Environmental Conservation
• NY Office of General Services • NY Dept. of Transportation
