6. So long as the activities conducted pursuant to this act are limited to the states of New York and New Jersey, all of the costs and expenses of the same, direct and indirect, shall be met, within the limits of available appropriations therefor, by said two states in equal shares and all actions of the Interstate Environmental Commission with respect to such activities shall be governed solely by the commissioners from the states of New York and New Jersey, with like effect as though the state of Connecticut were not a participant of said commission, and for this purpose the commission shall establish administratively a separate Division on Interstate Air Pollution, and maintain separate financial accounts to reflect its direct and allocated costs and expenses; provided, however, that the full commission, including the members representing the state of Connecticut, shall rule on all matters touching the accounting systems to be used and the charging and allocation of costs and expenses.
