Dear Mr. Schnell:

 

On January 16, 2018, as amended on March 15, 2018, New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) filed revisions to its Open Access Transmission Tariff[1] and to its Market Administration and Control Services Tariff[2] to comply with the Commission’s November 16, 2017 Order in the above-referenced proceeding.[3]  The tariff language satisfactorily complies with the November 16, 2017 Order.

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 as requested.

The filings were noticed on January 16, 2018 and March 16, 2018, respectively, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before February 6, 2018 and April 5, 2018, respectively. No protests or adverse comments were filed.  Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2017)), 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 that 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
