  1330.  Formulation, filing and adoption of action plan; amendments.
  The authority shall formulate an action plan for  transportation  within
  the  district. In formulating such plan, the authority shall consult and
  cooperate with the commissioner and the planning authorities in the area
  of  its  operations,  and  shall  utilize  state,  local   or   regional
  transportation  planning.  The  authority shall request and use existing
  studies, plans, surveys, data and other materials completed by or  under
  development  by  any  state  agency or municipality. The authority shall
  file copies of such plan with the commissioner,  the  central  New  York
  regional  planning and development board, the common council of the city
  of Syracuse, the county legislature of the county of Onondaga, and  with
  the  legislative body of any other county, within the district, affected
  by such plan, as hereinafter stated. The plan shall contain  information
  regarding  the  transportation  system  that  the  authority  intends to
  provide  including  information  regarding  the   facilities   connected
  therewith,  the  services  the  authority contemplates providing and the
  estimated costs and the proposed method of financing. During sixty  days
  after  the  filing of the action plan with the commissioner, the central
  New  York  regional  planning  and  development  board  and   with   the
  legislative  body  or  bodies as aforesaid, said plan shall be available
  for public inspection at the office or offices of the authority  and  at
  such  other  places  in  the areas affected, within the district, as the
  authority may designate. Not earlier than thirty days after  the  filing
  of said action plan with the commissioner, the central New York regional
  planning  and  development  board and such legislative body or bodies, a
  public hearing on said plan shall be held by the authority.   Notice  of
  such  a hearing shall be given to the commissioner, the central New York
  regional planning and development board  and  the  legislative  body  or
  bodies  as  aforesaid and by publication once a week for two weeks prior
  to the said hearing at the time and place  fixed  by  the  authority  in
  newspapers  of  general  circulation  within  the  areas affected, to be
  selected by the authority. The last publication date shall not  be  less
  than  five  days  before said hearing. Within thirty days following said
  public hearing, the authority shall provide a transcript of such hearing
  to  the  commissioner,  the  central  New  York  regional  planning  and
  development  board  and  the  legislative  body  or bodies as aforesaid,
  together with any amendments the authority may  propose  to  the  action
  plan. The authority shall request approval of the action plan, including
  such  amendments as the authority may propose, from the commissioner and
  the aforementioned legislative body or bodies. Any  part  of  said  plan
  which  is  disapproved  by  a  political  subdivision  because it alters
  existing  services  or  the  financing  thereof  within  said  political
  subdivision shall not become operative.  The commissioner may disapprove
  any  part  of  said plan if he finds that it conflicts with a state-wide
  comprehensive  master  plan   for   transportation   or   the   Syracuse
  metropolitan   transportation   study   and   the   Oswego-Fulton   area
  transportation study or, in the absence of such  plans,  would  have  an
  adverse   effect   upon  sound  transportation  development  policy  and
  planning. Any part of such plan so disapproved by the commissioner shall
  not become operative. Disapproval of part or parts of the plan shall not
  make the entire plan inoperative. If the said legislative body or bodies
  fail to act within sixty days or in the case of the commissioner  within
  ninety  days  after  approval is requested, said failure shall be deemed
  approval, and the authority may adopt the action plan by a majority vote
  of its membership and may include changes, if any,  recommended  by  the
  commissioner, said planning board or legislative body or bodies.
The  action  plan  may be amended from time to time in the same manner
  using the procedures outlined herein for the original  adoption,  except

  that  a  proposed amendment which is recommended by the legislative body
  or bodies affected thereby and  approval  by  the  commissioner  may  be
  embodied  or  continued  by  a  majority  vote  of the authority without
  additional  hearings  thereon as required for the amendments proposed to
  be made.
