Dear Mr. Sweeney:

On May 18, 2017, New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) filed revisions to the Coordination Agreement between ISO New England Inc. (ISO-NE) and NYISO (Coordination Agreement), which is section 37 of the NYISO’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT).[1]  You state that there are two proposed sets of revisions: (1) revisions to articles one and six of the Coordination Agreement that propose minor corrections to improve the accuracy of the Agreement; and (2) revisions to schedule C of the Coordination Agreement that improve the rules for pricing emergency energy.

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 August 1, 2017, as requested.

The filings were noticed on May 18, 2017 with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before June 8, 2017. No protests or adverse comments were filed.  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.

Sincerely,
