Re: New York Independent System Operator, Inc., Docket No. ER11-___-000
Proposed Tariff Revisions to Section 35 of the NYISO OATT
Dear Ms. Bose:
Pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act,1 the New York Independent
System Operator, Inc. (“NYISO”) hereby submits proposed amendments to Section 35 of
the NYISO’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”). Section 35, also designated
as Attachment CC of the NYISO OATT, contains the Joint Operating Agreement Among
and Between New York Independent System Operator Inc. and PJM Interconnection,
L.L.C. (“JOA”). In this filing, the NYISO proposes to relocate, within Section 35,
Schedule C to the JOA. The NYISO also proposes to reflect, for Schedule C and its
appendices, the effective date that was established by Commission Order in 2008.2 This
May 1, 2012 effective date was inadvertently omitted by the NYISO in its June 30, 2010
eTariff baseline filing and the NYISO proposes to correct that inadvertent error in this
filing.
I.Documents Submitted
1. This filing letter;
2. A blackline version of the proposed revisions to Sections 35.20 and 35.21 of
the NYISO’s OATT (“Attachment I”); and
3. A clean version of the proposed revisions to Sections 35.20 and 35.21 of the
NYISO’s OATT (“Attachment II”)
II. Description of Proposed Tariff Revisions
The NYISO proposes to amend OATT Sections 35.20 and 35.21 by deleting
1 16 U.S.C. §824d (2010).
2 Commission’s August 26, 2008 order in Docket Nos. ER08-858-000 and ER08-867-000 (“August 26
Order”) 124 FERC ¶ 61,184, which established an effective date of May 1, 2012 for Schedule C of the
JOA.

Schedule C, (the Operating Protocol for the Implementation of Con Ed - PJM
Transmission Service Agreements), from Section 35.20 and inserting it in Section 35.21. Section 35.21 currently contains the appendices to Schedule C, not independent
appendices to the JOA. Relocating Schedule C from Section 35.20 to Section 35.21 will more logically place Schedule C in the OATT Tariff section in which its appendices are already located. Locating Schedule C together with its appendices will improve the accessibility of all of Schedule C for those interested in its content.
III.Effective Dates
On September 25, 2008 the NYISO filed the JOA as Attachment CC to its Open Access Transmission Tariff in compliance with Ordering Paragraph “A” of the
Commission’s August 26, 2008 order in Docket Nos. ER08-858-000 and ER08-867-000 (“August 26 Order”). As required by the August 26 Order, the NYISO designated a
May 1, 2012 effective date for Schedule C of the JOA and its appendices. When the
NYISO filed its eTariff Baseline on June 30, 2010, it inadvertently did not specify that
Schedule C of the JOA and its appendices should be effective May 1, 2012. As a result, Schedule C and its appendices are currently designated effective June 30, 2010. In this
filing the NYISO proposes to correct its oversight by reinstating the effective date of May 1, 2012 for Schedule C of the JOA and its appendices. As previously discussed,
Schedule C will now be located in OATT Section 35.21.
With regard to the effective date for the amendments to Section 35 of the NYISO
OATT proposed by this filing, that is, the change in the location of Schedule C from
Section 35.20 to Section 35.21, the NYISO requests an effective date of sixty days from
the date of this filing (i.e., July 25, 2011) for the amendment to Section 35.20. As noted,
Section 35.21, Schedule C and its appendices, should reflect an effective date of May 1,
2012.
IV.Certificate of Concurrence
PJM, co-signatory to the JOA, will file and post a certificate of its concurrence with this filing in accordance with 18 CFR 35.1(a).
