MARYLAND MANUAL 253 on the agency from which he is selected. Maryland is at present repre- sented by the Chairman of the Public Service Commission. The Com- mission selects its own officers annually. The Commission regulates and plans for mass transit in the District of Columbia metropolitan, area. It has the power to prescribe fares, regulations and practices of transportation companies and taxicabs in the area. Expenses of the Commission are allocated annually in proportion to the population of each signatory in the metropolitan, area. Mary- land's share is thirty-nine percent (Code 1957, 1965 Kepi. Vol., Art. 41, sees. 257-307). Appropriations 1969 1970 General Funds .............................................. $111,428 $119,618 INTERSTATE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASIN 2101 North Front Street, Harrisburg, Pa. Telephone: 717 238-3024 The Interstate Advisory Committee on the Susquehanna River Basin was created by the joint action of the Executive and Legislative leaders of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York to participate actively in studies and formulation of sound development programs for the Susquehanna River Basin. Each State is represented on the Committee by two appointees of the Governor and two of the Legis- lative branch, plus alternates for each. The group coordinates with an overall study program conducted by the Army Corps of Engineers and presents the point of view of the States, as well as the expert knowledge of State officials and technical personnel in various aspects of the study considerations. The Com- mittee maintains an office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with a small staff which services and coordinates the activities of the Committee and develops from time to time specific background material on perti- nent areas of concern. The Committee rotates its meetings throughout the Susquehanna Basin at regular intervals, often timing them to coin- cide with Corps of Engineers' meetings. The Committee has completed an intergovernmental compact for the creation of a basin agency which has been approved by the legislatures of Maryland (Chapter 391, Acts of 1967), New York and Pennsylvania. The Interstate Advisory Committee on the Susquehanna River Basin operates on an interim, basis until the signatories to the Compact have completed adoptive action and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission formed by the Compact becomes operative. The Committee operates with a staff of four persons with an annual budget of $60,000, of which Maryland's share is $12,000 (Code 1967, 1964 Repl. Vol., 1968 Supp., Art. 96A, sees. 59-74). The Committee anticipates being phased out of existence by late 1969 or early 1970. SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASIN COMMISSION (not yet in operation) The Susquehanna River Basin Commission will be created upon the ratification of the Susquehanna River Basin Compact by the States of Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland and by the U. S. Congress. New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland have already enacted the Compact, while the U. S. Congress has not yet done so. Maryland ratified it by Chapter 391, Acts of 1967. |
