Reference: Compliance filing establishing effective date for Revisions to Implement Southeastern New York Reserve Enhancements

On May 25, 2021, in compliance with the requirements of the Commission’s January 28, 2021 order in this proceeding,[1] The New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) filed revisions to its Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff initially to reflect June 8, 2021, later to reflect June 10, 2021, and finally to reflect June 17, 2021 as the effective date on which the changes to implement additional 30-minute operating reserve procurements in the Southeastern New York locational reserve region would become operational.[2] NYISO states that the delay was based on a forecast of hot weather on June 8 and to implement the revisions on the same market day in the Day-Ahead Market and Real-Time Market. The compliance filing satisfactorily complies with the requirements of the Commission’s January 28, 2021 order.

Pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. § 375.307 (2020), your submittal is accepted for filing, effective June 8, 2021, as requested.

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.
