Attention:Gloria Kavanah

Senior Attorney

Reference:    External to Rest of State Deliverability Rights Dear Mr. Sweeney:

On May 22, 2018, New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO), filed
proposed revisions to its Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) and Market
Administration and Control Area Services Tariff (Services Tariff).1  NYISO states that
the proposed revisions will allow entities that fund transmission upgrades on External
Interfaces sinking into the Rest of State (ROS) region to receive Capacity Resource
Interconnection Service (CRIS) commensurate with the incremental transfer capability
created by the transmission upgrade if determined to be deliverable under applicable
procedures.  NYISO also proposes “External-to-ROS Deliverability Rights” (EDRs), by
which such CRIS can be utilized to import capacity from external resources, and include
associated qualification requirements, interconnection procedures, and market rules.
