Dear Ms. Lampi:

On August 12, 2011, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) submitted revisions to its Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff (Services Tariff) Rate Schedule 2 and the complementary provisions of Rate Schedule 2 to the Open Access Transmission Tariff.  On September 13, 2011, NYISO submitted an errata filing to correct inadvertent errors in section 15.2.2.2 of the Services Tariff containing the narrative description of, and the formula set out for calculating, Lost Opportunity Costs for generators that are suppliers of Voltage Support Service.

Notice of the filing was published in the Federal Register, with interventions and protests due on or before September 2, 2011.[1] No protests or adverse comments were filed.

Pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. § 375.307, NYISO’s submittal filed in the above referenced docket is accepted for filing, effective October 11, 2011, as requested.

This acceptance for filing shall not be construed as constituting approval of any rate, service, charge, classification, or any rule, regulation, or practice affecting such rate or service provided for in the filed documents; nor shall such action be deemed as recognition of any claimed contractual right or obligation affecting or relating to such service or rate; and such acceptance is without prejudice to any findings or orders which have been or may hereafter be made by the Commission in any proceeding now pending or hereafter instituted by or against NYISO.

This order constitutes final agency action.  Requests for rehearing by the Commission may be filed within 30 days of the date of issuance of this order, pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 385.713.

Sincerely,

Jignasa Gadani, Director
