PUBLIC NOTICE
Education Department
The State Education Department hereby gives notice of the following:
The Notice of Proposed Rule Making for proposed amendments of 8 NYCRR § 100.5(a)(5) (Social Studies Regents Examination; EDU-27-16-00004-EP), which was published in the State Register on July 6, 2016, included an incorrect subject and purpose.
The correct subject is as follows: Social Studies examination requirements for a high school diploma.
The correct purpose is as follows: In effort to provide flexibility to districts during the transition period to the new Social Studies Regents examination, the proposed amendment shifts the requirement for students to take and pass the new Regents Examination in Global History & Geography II examination for graduation (instead of the prior Regents examination in global history and geography) for an additional year- so that it applies to students first entering grade nine on or after September 2017; and provides districts with flexibility during the transition period to the new Social Studies Regents examination.
As a result of this publication error, the Department is extending the public comment period on this regulation until September 19, 2016.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Department of State F-2016-0233; F-2016-0235 Date of Issuance –August 03, 2016
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 (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.
In F-2016-0233 and F-2016-0235, or “Newtown Creek Wetland Research Demonstration Project, Dutch Kills” and “Newtown Creek Wetland Research Demonstration Project, Dutch Kills, Hunter’s Point Bridge”, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is proposing to construct functional, vegetated, tidal fringe wetlands within the environmentally degraded “dead end basin” – Dutch Kills basin, which serves as a tributary to the Newtown Creek. The main purpose of the projects is to help improve water quality through establishment of healthy tidal wetland – improving dissolved oxygen levels and locally filtering contaminants. The projects will also provide an aesthetic benefit to the area which is primarily used for industry and transport. The projects will entail placement of clean fill (respectively, 935 cubic yards within 0.19 acres and 3,524 cubic yards within 0.69 acres along Dutch Kills) in order to establish proper elevations to support the growth and survival of smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). As a demonstration project, it is anticipated that the results may help to inform other potential wetland restoration projects that could potentially take place within the Newtown Creek system, providing further water quality improvement as well as ecological and aesthetic benefits.
The proposed activities would be undertaken within the Waterfront Revitalization Program (WRP) planning area for the City of New York and activities must be consistent with the unique policies of this Program as well as with the policies of the NYSCMP. 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 August 18, 2016.
Comments should be addressed to the Consistency Review Unit, New York State Department of State, Office of Planning and Development, One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York 12231. Telephone (518) 474-6000; Fax (518) 473-2464. Electronic submissions can be made by email at: CR@dos.ny.gov.
This notice is promulgated in accordance with Title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 930.
