FAB DRY CLEANER PROGRAM
MUNICIPAL FACT SHEET
• The Financial Assistance to Business ("FAB") Dry Cleaner Program is intended to help dry
cleaning facilities meet the financial burden of complying with new state air pollution
regulations as set forth in 6NYCRR Part 232. Funds from the 1996 Clean Water/Clean Air
Bond Act ("Bond Act") are being provided through the New York State Environmental
Facilities Corporation ("EFC") for this purpose.
FAB Dry Cleaner Program
• Dry cleaning businesses that are small businesses with not more than 100 employees and that
are located within New York State are eligible to receive State Assistance Payments from
EFC under the FAB Dry Cleaner Program. However, state law requires that EFC's payments
be made through the Municipality (city, town or village) in which the dry cleaner is located.
• Municipal participation in the FAB Dry Cleaner Program is voluntary. However, if a
municipality chooses not to participate, dry cleaners within its borders may be unable
to receive financial assistance from EFC.
How the FAB Dry Cleaner Program will work
• EFC will mail application packets to dry cleaners consisting of an Application Form,
Instructions, a State Assistance Contract ("Contract") and other documents. Dry cleaners will
complete these forms and return them to EFC. The application requires the owner to give the
physical location of the facility and certain information regarding the State Environmental
Quality Review Act ("SEQRA").
• EFC will also mail application packets to municipalities consisting of this Fact Sheet, a FAB
Program Municipal Application Form, a FAB Dry Cleaner Program Municipal Approval
Form, a Dry Cleaner Application Form, and a draft Municipal Resolution. A municipality
must adopt a resolution in order for dry cleaners located within the municipality to receive a
State Assistance Payment from EFC.
• The municipality then returns to EFC a completed Municipal Application and a certified copy
of a duly adopted municipal resolution authorizing a municipality's participation in the FAB
program. This resolution should contain the title of the municipal officer designated to work
with EFC in administering the FAB program for the municipality.
• Once EFC has received a completed Contract and Application with attachments from a dry
cleaner, EFC will send a copy of this application together with a FAB Dry Cleaner Program
Municipal Approval Form to the designated official of the municipal government for
execution.
State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA)
• An Application from a dry cleaner will not be considered complete until a proper SEQRA
review has been performed. EFC will initially perform this SEQRA review for all projects.
EFC anticipates that a significant number of FAB Dry Cleaner Projects will be TYPE II
under SEQRA and that no further SEQRA review will be required. In the few remaining
cases where EFC initially determines that the particular FAB Dry Cleaner Project requires a
coordinated SEQRA review, EFC will contact the Municipality by letter, state the reasons
why a coordinated review is needed, and request the Municipality to be the lead agency for
purposes of the SEQRA review.
Distribution of Funds
• Once EFC has deemed the dry cleaner's application to be complete and has a signed FAB
Dry Cleaner Program Municipal Approval Form from the municipality, the project is ready to
be funded. If funds are available, EFC will draw a check made payable to the dry cleaners.
The designated municipal official is notified by mail that the check has been sent.
• The final step is for EFC to mail the check to the dry cleaner.
Applications from dry cleaners for the FAB Dry Cleaner
Program must be post marked by March 31, 2004. The earlier
a municipal application is received, the sooner dry cleaners
within that municipality can receive funding.

Dear Municipal Official:
To'vVfV
'F'APPfNt
The New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) bias
extended the 1996 Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act Program called the
Financial Assistance to Business (FAB) Dry Cleaner Program. The FAB Dry
Cleaner Program is designed to help dry cleaners comply with new state air
pollution regulations set forth in 6NYCRR Part 232. Dry cleaners that employ
not more than 100 people and are located in the State of New York, are
eligible. However, state law explicitly requires that dry cleaners can only
receive Bond Act funds through the municipalities in which they are located.
In order to inform municipalities about the FAB Dry Cleaner Program,
EFC is providing the enclosed materials:
FAB Dry Cleaner Program Municipal Fact Sheet
FAB Program Municipal Application
FAB Dry Cleaner Program Municipal Approval Form
Draft Municipal Resolution
Dry Cleaner Application Form (Part II)
While a municipality's participation in the FAB Dry Cleaner Program is
voluntary, dry cleaners located in municipalities that decline to participate
may riot be able to receive state assistance. EFC has endeavored to reduce
the burden imposed upon municipalities to the minimum allowed under state
law.
Applications from dry cleaners for the FAB Dry Cleaner Program must be
postmarked by March 31, 2004. The earlier a municipal application is
received, the sooner dry cleaners within that municipality can receive
funding.
If you have any questions regarding the FAB Dry Cleaner Program
application materials that are not answered by the municipal fact sheet,
please call EFC at 1-800-200-2200 during normal business hours.
§irperely yours,
Laurie A. Allen
FAB Program Manager
