N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 19, § 1263.14 – Lists of actions.

(a) The purpose of this section is to simplify the task of determining whether or not a proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment by identifying actions or classes of actions that are likely to have a significant effect and those which will not have a significant effect.
(b) Because of the complex and varied nature of actions, the lists in this section are not all inclusive. The omission from the lists of an action does not mean that it is exempt from this Part, nor does it mean that it is automatically an action requiring environmental impact statement preparation.
(c) The criteria set forth in section 6 NYCRR 617.9 and criteria included in 6 NYCRR 617.10 and this Part shall be used to determine significance with respect to actions not listed in this section. The following classification system is used in this section:
1. (1) Type I. Actions or classes of actions that are likely to require preparation of environmental impact statements because they will in almost every instance have a significant effect on the environment.
2. (2) Type II. Actions or classes of actions which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which do not require environmental impact statements or are exempt action.
(d) This Part does not apply to actions by private persons where no non-ministerial agency action is involved. The following lists are intended to cover only actions which must be approved by the council.
1. (1) Type I. Type I actions or classes of direct actions that are likely to, but will not necessarily, require preparation of environmental impact statements because they will in almost every instance have a significant effect on the environment.
