Reference:  Compliance Filing

Dear Mr. Sweeney:

New York Independent System Operator, Inc.’s (NYISO) submittal is accepted for filing effective June 5, 2011, as requested.

On April 6, 2011, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) submitted revisions to Attachment O, Market Monitoring Plan, to the Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff (Services Tariff).  On August 19, 2011, the Commission approved the NYISO’s filing,[1] subject to a compliance filing revising its tariff to require that, if the Requesting Entity is a jurisdictional RTO or ISO, NYISO must also provide the requested information to that entity’s market monitoring unit, as long as the Requesting Entity’s market monitoring unit satisfies the confidentiality requirements and obligations accepted by the Commission in the August Order.  On September 12, 2011, NYISO submitted proposed revisions to its Market Monitoring Plan to address the Commission’s instructions of the August 19 Order. 

Notice of the filing was published on September 13, 2011, with comments, protests, or interventions due on or before October 3, 2011.  No protests or comments were filed.  Notices of intervention and unopposed timely filed motions to intervene are granted pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 C.F.R. § 385.214).

This acceptance 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 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 the 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
