(NYISO) ministerial revisions to remove rejected tariff language[1] from section 31.4 of the NYISO’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT).[2] You also submitted corrected tariff records in various dockets[3] that were inadvertently filed without previously accepted[4] language in OATT section 6.1.6.[5]
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, as requested, subject to further compliance. Specifically, NYISO is directed to submit a compliance filing, within 30 days of the date of this order, to (1) remove certain rejected tariff language from section 31.4 of the OATT in the currently effective tariff record (effective date of August 28, 2015), and (2) correct the tariff language in section 6.1.6 of the OATT in the superseded record filed in Docket No. ER12-718-001 (effective date of January 15, 2013).
The filing was noticed on February 10, 2016, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before March 1, 2016. Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2015)), 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 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.
Sincerely,
