(NYISO) submitted revisions to section 2.3 and 2.4 of its Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff (Services Tariff) and section 1.4 of its Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT).[1]  NYISO states that the proposed amendments will (i) help maintain bulk electric system reliability by prohibiting curtailment of critical electric system infrastructure load in the NYISO’s demand response program, and (ii) make ministerial changes to correct textual inconsistencies.

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 (2021).
