NYISO states that the proposed Tariff revisions[2] will enable it to distribute revenues previously received, and any future revenues, from the sale of NHFPTCCs. NYISO further states that its filing also contains several non-substantive revisions to discontinue the use of footnotes within the Tariff sections related to this proposal, consistent with the Commission’s September 6, 2017 notice regarding the use of footnotes in eTariff records.[3]
