Docket No. ER15-1010-000

Issued:  3/13/15 

New York Independent System Operator, Inc.

10 Krey Boulevard

Rensselaer, NY 12144

Attention:Mollie Lampi, Esq.

Assistant General Counsel

Reference: Revised Regulation Movement Multiplier

Dear Ms. Lampi:

On February 6, 2015, you filed on behalf of the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) a proposed amendment to NYISO’s Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff.[1]  The proposed amendment would revise the definition of the uniform Regulation Movement Multiplier (RMM) in section 2.18 to increase the value from ten to thirteen.  You state that this increased value will more accurately reflect the current dispatched movement of Regulation Service providers and will provide a better estimate of resource cost than the prior RMM value, which was based on an older data set.

Pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. § 375.307 (2014), your submittal is accepted for filing, effective April 7, 2015, as requested.

The filing was noticed on February 6, 2015, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before February 27, 2015. Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2014)), 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 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,

Daniel Nowak, Acting Director

Division of Electric Power
