Attention:Mollie Lampi, Esquire

Assistant General Counsel

Reference:  Operating Protocol for the Implementation of Consolidated Edison Company of New York and PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. Transmission Service Agreements (Schedule C)

Dear Ms. Lampi:

On May 27, 2011, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) filed revisions to it Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) relating to Schedule C and the appendices thereto.  NYISO states that the revisions reflect two modifications. 

For the first modification, NYISO proposes to remove Schedule C from Section 35.20 of the OATT and insert it in Section 35.21, where the appendices to Schedule C are currently located.  NYISO requests an effective date of July 25, 2011, which is 60 days from the date of its filing in this proceeding.

For the second modification, NYISO proposes to correct the effective date for Schedule C and its appendices.  NYISO states that in its eTariff baseline filing it inadvertently reflected an effective date of May 1, 2010, rather than June 30, 2012, the effective date approved by the Commission for Schedule C and its appendices.[1]  In this proceeding, NYISO proposes to correct that error.

Pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. § 375.307, NYISO’s submittal is accepted for filing, effective as requested.

Notice of the filing was published on May 27, 2011, with comments, protests, or interventions due on or before June 17, 2011.  PJM filed a timely motion to intervene.  No protests or comments were filed.  Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2010)), all timely filed motions to intervene and any motion to intervene out-of-time filed before the issuance date of this order are granted. 

This acceptance 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 provided for in the filed documents; 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 any which may hereafter be made by the Commission in any proceeding now or 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,

Jignasa Gadani, Director

Division of Electric Power
