Statewide Wireless Network (SWN) Reporting for State Agencies and Public Benefit Corporations
The Statewide Wireless Network (SWN) is an effort to replace obsolete communications infrastructure in New York State with an integrated statewide radio network for State and local public safety and public service organizations.
In 2007 State Technology Law section 403 was enacted, creating a new annual reporting requirement for costs associated with participation in SWN. Each State agency and public benefit corporation is required to submit SWN-related expenditures to the Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) by January 30, 2008. Any agency or public benefit corporation that does not incur any relevant expenses is not required to submit a report.
Below are forms and instructions that can be used for reporting SWN-related expenditures for the 2007 calendar year and anticipated expenditures for the next fiscal year to OSC.
