        AN ACT directing the public service commission to study the  feasibility
          and  the costs of burying all or most of the electrical, telephone and
          internet transmission lines in New  York  state  and  to  publish  and
          deliver  a report of its findings to the governor and the legislature,
          and requiring new  electrical,  telephone  and  internet  transmission
          lines to be buried underground
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. 1. The public service commission shall conduct a  study  to
     2  analyze the feasibility and the costs of burying underground all or most
     3  of the existing electrical, telephone and internet transmission lines in
     4  New York state. Such study shall include an analysis of:
     5    (a) the economic and environmental benefits from burying such existing
     6  lines; and
     7    (b)  the  economic cost burden of doing so, if any, including an esti-
     8  mate of what the cost per utility customer would be, the number of  jobs
     9  to  be  created to complete the project and a timeline for completion of
    10  the project.
    11    2. In analyzing costs and benefits for the purposes of this study, the
    12  commission shall consider the varying geographical areas  of  the  state
    13  and  report  separately on the impact particular areas might have on the
    14  project. The study shall also quantify the economic costs  and  benefits
    15  of  burying  existing  electrical,  telephone  and internet transmission
    16  lines to utility customers and shall disaggregate the results by  utili-

     1  ty.   The study shall calculate the cost per customer of the entire cost
     2  of the project statewide, regardless of where the  customer  lives,  for
     3  the life of the project on a monthly basis.
     4    3.  Within  one year of the effective date of this act, the commission
     5  shall:
     6    (a) publish the report of its findings on its website  in  a  location

     9  dent of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, the chair of the senate
    10  energy  and  telecommunications  committee and the chair of the assembly
    11  energy committee.
