This really doesn't matter, but I think you are confusing New York Department of Environmental Conservation "regions" with Federal Environmental Protection Agency "regions." The former applies to regions within New York, whereas the latter refers to regions in the USA.

Here are numbered New York DEC regions:

Here are numbered United States EPA regions:

Again, none of this really matters. What matters, for purposes of the original question posed, is the pertinent timeline for the application process. References to other states' laws, and inapplicaple laws in general, do not help, and are very misleading.
