On April 21, 2010, the Office of Mental Health (OMH) published a public notice stating that, as part of the 2010-11 Budget, OMH proposed to amend New York's Medicaid State Plan to reflect the carve-out of eligible pharmaceutical costs from the rate setting methodology for Residential Treatment Facilities for Children and Youth effective July 1, 2010. OMH is hereby amending that notice to state that the action will not be effective until Federal approval of the State Plan Amendment is received.

The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.

The United States Department of the Interior, Army Corps of Engineers - New York District (Corps) has determined that the proposed activity complies with and will be conducted in a manner consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the approved New York State Coastal Management Program. The consistency determination, draft Environmental Assessment, finding of no significant impact (FONSI) and accompanying public information and data is available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue in Albany, New York.

In F-2010-0321 (DA), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - New York District, is proposing to perform an Emergency Coastal Storm Damage Reduction Project, under Section 14 of the 1946 Flood Control Act as amended, at State Route 25 (Main Road) within the Town of Southold, Suffolk County. The proposed work will be performed along Route 25, approximately ½ mile east of the Dam Pond Inlet, East Marion, along the shoreline of Orient Harbor, and involves the extension of the existing stone revetment/seawall 300 feet (ft) to the east.

According to the information provided to the Department of State, the existing stone wall was built in the 1920s and was rehabilitated by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) with rubble stone in the 1980s. Following rehabilitation, the NYSDOT placed one row of stone along the 300 ft. reach of the proposed project to prevent the adjacent road from collapse and further undermining due to overwash during storm and tidal surges. Route 25 provides the only vehicular access route along the mainland to the east and utility lines run overhead and under the roadbed. The Corps has stated within their submission, that continued erosion could result in closure of the only access route to the east, including the Village of Orient, Orient Point and the ferry service to Connecticut, disruption of utilities, and personal injury. The Corps has determined that the extension of the existing seawall along the 300 ft. reach is the best engineering solution and the most environmentally sound alternative at this site.

Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 15 days from the date of publication of this notice, or, July 29, 2010.

Comments should be addressed to: Department of State, Office of Coastal, Local Government and Community Sustainability, One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Ave., Suite 1010, Albany, NY 12231, (518) 474-6000, Fax (518) 473-2464
