Dear Ms. Lampi:

On December 21, 2010, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) submitted proposed amendments to its Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) and Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff (Services Tariff) to revise provisions concerning the bidding and scheduling of Energy, Ancillary Services and Transmission Service in the New York Control Area.  NYISO seeks to streamline and clarify tariff provisions that set forth the rules that govern these processes and to eliminate redundancy between the Services Tariff and the OATT.
