Attention:David Allen, Attorney

New York Independent System Operator, Inc.  

Reference:Emergency Demand Response Program

Dear Mr. Allen:

Pursuant to authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. § 375.307, your submittal in the above referenced docket is accepted for filing effective September 30, 2010, as requested, subject to the outcome of the proceeding in Docket No. ER10-1866-000.

On July 29, 2010, you filed on behalf of New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO), revisions to Attachment G of its Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff, which describes NYISO’s Emergency Demand Response Program.  You say NYISO is making this filing as part of an on-going comprehensive review of its tariffs to identify opportunities to improve and clarify tariff provisions, and the proposed clarifications will not impact the NYISO’s current practices administering the program.

              You say the tariff language in Section 22.11 that addresses Cost Allocation to

Transmission Customers for the Emergency Demand Response Program was modified to

reflect that, pursuant to these proposed revisions and proposed revisions to Rate Schedule

1 of the NYISO OATT that were filed with the Commission on July 21, 2010 in Docket

ER10-1866-000, and subject to the Commission’s approval of these revisions, the cost

allocation requirements for the Program will be located in Rate Schedule 1 of the NYISO

Open Access Transmission Tariff. 

Notice of the filing was published in the Federal Register with comments, protests or interventions due on or before August 19, 2010.  No protests or adverse comments were filed.  Notices of interventions and unopposed timely filed motions to intervene are granted pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rule of Practice and Procedure (18 C.F.R. § 385.214).  Any unopposed or untimely motion to intervene is governed by provisions of Rule 214.

This acceptance for filing shall not be construed as constituting approval of any service, rate, charge, classification, or any rule, regulation, or practice affecting such rate or service provided for in the filed documents; nor shall such action be deemed as recognition of any claimed contractual right or obligation affecting or relating to such service or rate; and such acceptance is without prejudice to any findings or order which have been or  may hereafter be made by the Commission in any proceeding now pending on 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
