Dear Mr. Bissell:

On March 29, 2016, as amended on May 26, 2016, you filed on behalf of the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) a compliance filing with proposed revisions to NYISO’s Marked Administration and Control Area Services Tariff[1] in response to the Commission’s March Order in this proceeding.[2]  The tariff language satisfactorily complies with the Commission’s March Order.

Pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. § 375.307 (2015), your submittal is accepted for filing, effective on or before June 30, 2016, subject to a compliance filing with no less than two weeks’ notice of the proposed effective date, as directed in the March Order.[3]

The filing was noticed on March 29, 2016, and May 27, 2016, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before April 19, 2016, and June 6, 2016, respectively. Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2015)), 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 (2015).

Sincerely,
