Narrative:
Approximately 10 NM on huo 207 degree radial en route to newark, new york approach called VFR traffic at 12 O'clock, 5500 ft unverified. With traffic not yet in sight, we requested turn away from traffic. Just then, the captain saw traffic, took aircraft control and turned slightly left and climbed. Traffic, a tan small aircraft, was at 12 O'clock, same altitude (6000 ft). I stated I had traffic and then resumed aircraft control. Small aircraft appeared to be climbing VFR. He was on a busy IFR arrival route over huo VOR so maybe the standard arrival routings and altitude can be published and distributed to local new york/new jersey airports.

Title: LTT COMMUTER HAS NMAC WITH SMA ON APCH TO EWR.
Narrative: APPROX 10 NM ON HUO 207 DEG RADIAL ENRTE TO NEWARK, NEW YORK APCH CALLED VFR TFC AT 12 O'CLOCK, 5500 FT UNVERIFIED. WITH TFC NOT YET IN SIGHT, WE REQUESTED TURN AWAY FROM TFC. JUST THEN, THE CAPT SAW TFC, TOOK ACFT CTL AND TURNED SLIGHTLY L AND CLBED. TFC, A TAN SMA, WAS AT 12 O'CLOCK, SAME ALT (6000 FT). I STATED I HAD TFC AND THEN RESUMED ACFT CTL. SMA APPEARED TO BE CLBING VFR. HE WAS ON A BUSY IFR ARR RTE OVER HUO VOR SO MAYBE THE STANDARD ARR ROUTINGS AND ALT CAN BE PUBLISHED AND DISTRIBUTED TO LCL NEW YORK/NEW JERSEY ARPTS.
