  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-

such approval by the commissioner apply for additional state  assistance
payments  for  planning  activities  related  to  the  updating of their
current plan or development of a  new  farmland  protection  plan.  Such

STATE ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS TO SUCH COUNTIES SHALL NOT EXCEED SEVENTY-FIVE
PERCENT OF THE COST OF IMPLEMENTING THE LOCAL PLAN  OR  PORTION  OF  THE
PLAN  FOR  WHICH STATE ASSISTANCE HAS BEEN REQUESTED. SUCH MAXIMUM SHALL
BE INCREASED BY A PERCENTAGE EQUAL TO THE PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL ELIGI-
BLE COSTS FOR SUCH SPECIFIED PROJECTS THAT ARE CONTRIBUTED BY THE  OWNER

PERCENT OF SUCH ELIGIBLE COSTS FOR ANY SPECIFIED  PROJECT.  The  commis-
sioner  may require such information or additional planning as he or she
deems necessary to evaluate such a request for state assistance.
  (c) A not-for-profit conservation organization may apply and shall  be
eligible for agricultural protection state assistance payments to imple-
ment  a  county  or  municipal agricultural and farmland protection plan
approved by the commissioner  provided  that  the  proposed  project  is
endorsed  for funding by the county agricultural and farmland protection
