Administrative History
Established by the legislature under Chapter 272 of the Laws of 1970, the commission was organized to formulate uniform procedures to regulate site selection of electrical generating plants. Composed of nine members, three appointed by the governor and six by assembly and senate leaders, the commission's recommendations became Article 8 of the Public Service Law, entitled Siting of Major Steam Electric Generating Facilities. Senator Thomas F. McGowan chaired the commission which held five public hearings around the State from December 1970 through February 1971. It issued its final report on March 31, 1971, the day its authority expired.
