Dear Mr. Sweeney:

On March 21, 2017, New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO), filed proposed revisions to NYISO’s Services Tariff.[1]  You state that the revisions are designed to enhance NYISO’s Day-Ahead Margin Assurance Payment (DAMAP).  You also state that the revisions include new eligibility criteria for DAMAP as well as revisions to the calculations of avoided costs – an element of the DAMAP calculation.

The filing was noticed on March 21, 2017, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before April 11, 2017. Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2016)), 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.
