(a)Following notification to an Applicant pursuant to 62 RCNY § 10-06(b)(1) that the Applicant may proceed to submit a draft CEQR short/full form, an Applicant proceeding with filing an application for environmental review must submit a draft CEQR short/full form to the Department for review. The Applicant must submit the draft CEQR short/full form to the Department and notify the Environmental Assessment Review division project manager handling the Applicant's project.
