Reference: Compliance Filing to Remove Rejected Language from Tariff

Dear Mr. Patka:

On June 7, 2016, you filed, on behalf of the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO), a request to remove limited rejected language from NYISO’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT).[1] You state that, while the Commission rejected NYISO’s proposed tariff revisions to its cost allocation methodology for its reliability planning process, certain tariff revisions related to this issue are currently listed as “effective” in the Commission’s eTariff viewer. You also state that NYISO requests to remove tariff provisions in OATT Section 31.5 that are listed as “rejected.”

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 filing was noticed on June 7, 2016, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before June 28, 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,
