PUBLIC NOTICE
Department of State F-2014-0270 (DA) Date of Issuance - July 09, 2014
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 applicant has certified that the proposed activity complies with and will be conducted in a manner consistent with the approved New York State Coastal Management Program. 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.
In F-2014-0270 (DA), the Army Corps of Engineers – New York District, is proposing the Fire Island to Moriches Inlet (FIMI) Stabilization (beach fill) Project along Atlantic Ocean facing barrier island beaches in Suffolk County.
With the passage of the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, the Army Corps has been given the authority, impetus, and funding to complete ongoing coastal storm damage risk management projects and studies in the Northeast including the Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet (FIMI) project which had been previously proposed for construction but was never implemented. As part of the planning and implementation process for the Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet project, the New York District has updated prior engineering and design efforts, physical surveys, and environmental compliance in putting together the recently completed Draft Hurricane Sandy Limited Re-evaluation Report (HSLRR). The Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet project is a partnership between the Army Corps and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and in coordination with various other federal, state and local partners.
According to the information submitted to the Department of State, the proposed Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet project calls for the placement of roughly 7 million cubic yards of sand through three contracts to reinforce the existing dune and berm system along the island. The selected design includes beach fill at Robert Moses State Park, the Fire Island Lighthouse Tract, all of the communities outside of Federal Tracts, and Smith Point County Park. Where feasible, dunes constructed as part of this project will be tied into existing natural dunes in Federal Tracts.
Pending the Environmental Assessment, required reviews of the Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet Draft Hurricane Sandy Limited Re-evaluation Report and the signing of a Project Partnership Agreement with the DEC, the Corps expects to award the first of three construction contracts for the Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet stabilization project this summer with construction to begin this fall after environmentally sensitive windows related to endangered species are closed. The first contract will be for dune and berm construction in Smith Point County Park.
The project, by nature of the work proposed, will interfere with natural and dynamic coastal barrier island processes. Such processes may play a role in the preserving the long term integrity and ability of a barrier island to evolve and sustain itself and impedance and/ or alteration of natural processes may have impacts for ecological communities present on such formations as well. Construction of the project will have direct impacts for beach flora and fauna and for beach infauna. The endangered shorebird, Piping Plover, relies on critical habitat within this project area may be particularly at risk from the project.
The Draft Environmental Assessment and the Draft Hurricane Sandy Limited Re-evaluation Report for the Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet project, as well as associated documents, are available on New York District’s website at www.nan.usace.army.mil/FIMP. No environmental impact statement (EIS) has been prepared for this project.
Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning any of 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 24, 2014.
Comments should be addressed to: Department of State, Office of Coastal, Local Government and Community Sustainability, One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Ave., Albany, NY 12231, (518) 474-6000, Fax (518) 473-2464
This notice is promulgated in accordance with Title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 930.

Pursuant to the provisions of section 1111(j)(2) of the Tax Law, the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance is required to give public notice of the base retail price adjustment calculation and the resulting base retail price of cigarettes for purposes of establishing the prepaid sales tax on cigarettes imposed by section 1103 of the Tax Law. Section 1111(j) of the Tax Law provides that the base retail price of cigarettes shall be adjusted each year by a factor based upon the manufacturers’ list price for a carton of standard brand cigarettes. The base retail price adjustment factor for the period September 1, 2014, through August 31, 2015, is 1.006. The base retail price adjustment calculation results in a base retail price of cigarettes effective September 1, 2014, as follows:
Package of twenty (20) cigarettes:
$10.097 x 1.006 = $10.158
For each additional five (5) cigarettes:
$ 2.522 x 1.006 = $2.537
The base retail price is adjusted annually, to take effect the first day of September.
