Section 131.4 - Public Service Law-article 7 installations

Utilities occupying or making modifications to State owned highways in connection with construction of transmission lines pursuant to certificate of the Public Service Commission issued under article 7 of the Public Service Law are advised that such certificate does not create a property right in the State highway necessary to enter upon such highway and modify the property. Consequently utilities must, prior to their presence on department property, submit for review, plans of proposed construction on such lands owned by the department.
