About the 1115 waiver:

• The 1115 waiver, also known as the MRT Waiver in New York State, is an agreement between the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and New York State that allows the State to use a managed care delivery system to deliver benefits to Medicaid recipients, create efficiencies in the Medicaid program, and enable the extension of coverage to certain individuals who would otherwise be without health insurance.

• The MRT waiver is a vehicle by which the State has implemented the initiatives of the Medicaid Redesign Team and subsequent health systems reforms, including the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program.

• In addition, New York’s goals in implementing its MRT waiver include improving access to health services and better health outcomes for New Yorkers through multiple programs.

This meeting will be webcast live (https://www.health.ny.gov/events/webcasts/) and will be open to the public. No pre-registration is required. Individuals who wish to provide comment will be asked to register on site no later than 2pm and will speak in their order of registration.

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 (CZMA) of 1972, as amended.

The applicant has certified that the proposed activities comply with and will be conducted in a manner consistent with the federally approved New York State Coastal Management Program (NYSCMP). The applicant's consistency certification and accompanying public information and data are available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue, in Albany, New York. The project description, consistency certification, and coastal policy analysis are available for review at: http://www.dos.ny.gov/opd/programs/pdfs/Consistency/F-2017-0637_NESE.PartialApp ForPN.pdf

This project was also the subject of a coordinated Environmental Review. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is the lead agency for the environmental review of interstate natural gas pipelines under the federal Natural Gas Act. FERC staff prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), dated January 25, 2019 for the NESE Project, Docket No. CP17-101, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC FEIS can be viewed and downloaded at: https://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/docket_search.asp by entering the Docket No. and the date of the FEIS in the search boxes.

In F-2017-0612, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC is proposing the Northeast Supply Enhancement Project (NESE Project), which involves installing and operating a 26-inch diameter pipeline that would transport natural gas from Pennsylvania through New Jersey, travelling underwater in the Raritan Bay and Lower New York Bay to approximately three miles offshore of the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens Borough. The NESE Project includes components in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, although the activity subject to consistency review only pertains to aspects of the NESE Project that may affect New York’s coastal uses and resources.

The NESE Project would connect to the existing Rockaway Delivery Lateral in Queens and would provide 400,000 dekatherms per day of incremental capacity to National Grid to serve customers in Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island. Approximately 23.5 miles of underwater pipeline would be installed, of which approximately 17.4 miles would be in New York State waters (Queens County and Richmond County). The NESE Project would be installed a minimum of 4 feet below the sea floor through a combination of jet trenching, clamshell dredging and horizontal directional drilling (HDD). Deeper burial depths are proposed beneath navigational channels.

Construction would be phased to minimize potential impacts to marine habitats and potential use conflicts. The stated purpose of the project is to support the long-term growth, reliability, and flexibility of National Grid’s existing natural gas system as well as help displace the use of oil.

The proposed activity would be undertaken within the New York City Waterfront Revitalization Program (WRP). As the WRP is a component of the NYSCMP, activities under federal permitting authority are also subject to review for their consistency with the local program and its specific provisions and policies, which are available for review at: https://waterfrontnavigator.nyc/agency-contacts-information/nyc-dcp/
