On July 14, 2017, New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO), submitted proposed revisions to Section 23.4.5.7 of Attachment H of its Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff (Services Tariff).[1]  NYISO states that the proposed revisions include enhancements to the rules governing the forecasts determined and used by NYISO in the course of making determinations under the buyer-side mitigation rules and improvements to rules governing the use of escalation factors and inflation rates under the buyer-side mitigation rules.

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, as requested.

The filing was noticed on July 17, 2017, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before August 4, 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.
