Attention: Gloria Kavanah

Senior Attorney

Reference:              Compliance Filing to Remove One-Year Transition Mechanism

Dear Ms. Kavanah:

On February 6, 2017, as amended on February 10, 2017, you filed compliance revisions to the New York Independent System Operator, Inc.’s (NYISO) Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff.[1]  You state that the Commission directed NYISO to make a compliance filing to remove the proposed provisions that establish the one-year transition mechanism for an “80 percent Locality Exchange Factor for the G-J Locality.”[2]  You also state that the Commission’s directive is accomplished by eliminating certain language in Section 5.11.4.1 and also revising the definition of “Locality Exchange Factor” to eliminate the reference in NYISO’s proposal to the 80 percent one-year transition mechanism.

Pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power

Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. § 375.307, NYISO’s submittal is accepted for filing, effective January 29, 2017, as requested. 

The filing was noticed on February 13, 2017, with comments, interventions and protests due on or before March 3, 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.

Sincerely,

Kurt M. Longo, Director
