BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Subdivision 4 of section 1204-a of the public authorities
law, as added by chapter 736 of the laws of 1982, is amended to read  as
follows:
  4.  [Within  twelve  months  of  the completion of the study conducted
pursuant to subdivision two of this section, and at twelve month  inter-
vals thereafter, the] THE authority shall submit to the governor and the
legislature  [comprehensive]  ANNUAL  reports  detailing the authority's
progress to date in abating subway noise. The report shall include,  but
not  be  limited  to  an  itemized  summary  of  all  monies spent, bids
requested and received, contracts let, and actual  work  done  on  noise
abatement  programs during the previous period. Any and all subway noise
measurements made during the previous period shall  be  included,  with,
whenever possible, analyses of such measurements.
  Such  ANNUAL  report  shall  also  include  a detailed analysis of all
FUTURE noise abatement activities planned for the [next] UPCOMING twelve
months. [Following the first twelve month interval these] THESE  reports
shall  also  include  comprehensive  statements  of progress made on all
planned noise abatement  activities  included  in  the  previous  annual
report.
  Nothing  herein  shall preclude such report from being incorporated in
the authority's annual capital report submitted pursuant to the "capital
financing and services system act of nineteen  hundred  eighty-one,"  so
long as it is maintained as a separate, distinct and identifiable compo-
nent in such report.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
