Dear Ms. Keegan:

On May 20, 2015, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) filed eight executed non-conforming Interconnection Facilities Study Agreements for certain projects entering NYISO’s Class Year 2015 Interconnection Facilities Study.[1] These agreements contain modified provisions of NYISO’s pro forma Interconnection Facilities Study Agreement to reflect the unique status of certain Class Year 2015 projects.

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 May 21, 2015, with comments, interventions and protests due on or before June 10, 2015.  Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2014)), 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.
