In the Matter of TOWN OF WHEATFIELD, Petitioner, v. STATE OF NEW YORK PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, Respondent, and EMPIRE STATE PIPELINE et al., Inter

Petition unanimously dismissed without costs. Memorandum: Petitioner Town of Wheatfield contends that the Public Service Commission's (PSC) certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the Empire State Pipeline gas line project must be annulled because it was not given adequate notice of the PSC proceedings. We disagree. The record establishes that Empire State Pipeline duly served petitioner with notice of its application (see, Public Service Law § 122). Although entitled to do so, petitioner did not file the requisite notice to become a party to the proceeding (see, Public Service Law § 124 [i]) and therefore was not entitled to receive ongoing notice of the application process (see, Matter of Ingham v. Public Serv. Commn., 116 A.D.2d 718, 719, appeal dismissed 67 N.Y.2d 1027, lv denied 68 N.Y.2d 606). Because petitioner was not a party to the matter before the Public Service Commission, it lacks standing to seek judicial review of the Commission's determination (see, Public Service Law § 128; Matter of Incorporated Vil. of E. Williston v. Public Serv. Commn., 153 A.D.2d 943, 945-946). The petition is therefore dismissed.
