Reference:              Large Generator Interconnection Agreement

Dear Ms. Keegan and Mr. Neuman:

On June 25, 2012, the New York Independent System Operator Inc. (NYISO) and the New York Power Authority (NYPA) jointly filed an executed amended and restated Large Generator Interconnection Agreement (LGIA) among the NYISO, NYPA, and Marble River, LLC (Marble River).[1]  You explain that the Interconnection Agreement governing the interconnection of Marble River’s generating facility to the New York State Transmission System is amended to reflect the turbine change and nominal reduction in generating capacity. This agreement also contains non-conforming provisions necessary to recognize NYPA’s unique legal status as a power authority governed under New York’s Power Authority Act and other circumstances specific to the Marble River project.

Pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power

Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. §375.307, your submittal is accepted for filing, effective June 13, 2012, as requested.

The filing was noticed on June 26, 2012, with comments, interventions and protests due on or before July 16, 2012.  Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2011)), to the extent that any timely filed motions to intervene and any motion to intervene out-of-time were filed before the issuance date of this order, such interventions are granted.  Granting late interventions at this stage of the proceeding will not disrupt the proceeding or place additional burdens on existing parties. 

This acceptance for filing shall not be construed as constituting approval of the referenced filing or of any rate, charge, classification, or any rule, regulation, or practice affecting such rate or service contained in your filing; nor shall such acceptance be deemed as recognition of any claimed contractual right or obligation associated therewith; 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 the NYISO or NYPA.

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,
