Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill repeals subdivision 24 of section 1005 of the public authorities law (enacted as Chapter 552 of the Laws of 2013) which directed the power authority of the state of New York to conduct an audit, obtain information, and prepare a report with respect to beneficiaries of the federal relicensing agreement approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that took effect on September 1, 2007 in relation to the Niagara Power Project in Lewiston, New York.
Section 2 of the bill requires the power authority of the state of New York to obtain information from certain entities that received a benefit from the authority as a result of proceedings related to the relicensing of the Niagara power project that was approved by FERC, and to issue a report on the results of the information requests.

Justification
In 2013, the Legislature passed and the governor signed into law Chapter 552 of the Laws of 2013. This law requires the Power Authority of the State of New York to audit beneficiaries of a power allocation or cash payment in the federal relicensing agreement approved by FERC that took effect on September 1, 2007, in relation to the Niagara Power Project in Lewiston, NY.
