Re:    New York Independent System Operator, Inc., et al.

Compliance Filing and Request for Expedited Action Docket Nos. ER15-572-001 and ER15-572-004

Dear Secretary Bose:

New York Transco, LLC, Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corp., Consolidated Edison
Company of New York, Inc., Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, New York State Electric and
Gas Corporation (“NYSEG”), Orange and Rockland Utilities, and Rochester Gas and Electric
Corporation (collectively referred to herein as “NY Transco”) hereby file revisions to the New
York  Independent System Operator, Inc.’s (“NYISO”) Open Access Transmission Tariff

(“OATT”)1 in compliance with the Settlement Agreement in Docket No. ER15-572-000 and the
Commission’s order issued March 17, 2016, approving the Settlement Agreement.2  Consistent
with the March 17 Order, NY Transco requests that the tariff revisions be made effective April 3,
2015.  In addition, NY Transco requests that the Commission expeditiously review this
compliance filing and issue an order accepting the compliance filing by May 31, 2016.

I.BACKGROUND

On December 4, 2014, NY Transco submitted a rate filing pursuant to section 205 of the
Federal Power Act (“FPA”) requesting that the Commission: (1) approve certain incentive rate
treatments pursuant to section 219 of the FPA and Order No. 679 for its investment in five-
interrelated  high-voltage  transmission  projects  in  New  York; (2)  accept  NY  Transco’s

transmission formula rate, which includes a formula rate template and protocols; (3) approve NY
Transco’s requested return on equity; (4) accept NY Transco’s cost allocation method to recover
its revenue requirement; and (5) accept NY Transco’s proposed revisions to the NYISO OATT
to include recovery of the proposed Transco Facilities Charge under Schedule 13 (Section 6.13)
and the proposed cost allocation and formula rate template and implementation protocols as

 

 

1 Pursuant to Order No. 714, this filing is submitted by the NYISO on behalf of NY Transco as part of an electronic filing package that conforms to the Commission’s regulations.

Attachment  DD(Section36).Numerous  parties,  including  the  Settling  Parties,3  filed

interventions, protests, comments, and answers in response to NY Transco’s December 4 filing.

On April 2, 2015, the Commission issued an order, inter alia, accepting NY Transco’s
proposed formula rate for filing, suspending the formula rate for a nominal period of one day,
and setting the formula rate for hearing, subject to refund.4  Several parties filed requests for
rehearing of the April 2 Order, including NY Transco, NYPSC, and NYPA.  The April 2 Order
also required NY Transco to submit a compliance filing to revise the formula rate protocols as
directed in the April 2 Order and to remove the cost allocation tables included in Attachment DD
(Section 36) of the OATT.5  On May 4, 2015, NY Transco submitted a compliance filing
consistent with the Commission’s direction in the April 2 Order (“May 4 Compliance Filing”).

On November 5, 2015, NY Transco filed an Offer of Partial Settlement with the
Commission that would resolve all of the issues set for hearing or pending in requests for
rehearing of the April 2 Order with respect to NY Transco’s three proposed Transmission Owner
Transmission Solutions (“TOTS”) Projects (the “Settlement Agreement”), including, as relevant
to this compliance filing, a cost allocation methodology for the TOTS Projects.6  Subsequent to
the filing of the Settlement Agreement, comments were filed with the Commission identifying
certain mutually agreed upon corrections to the formula rate template and to Schedule 13
(Section 6.13) of the OATT with respect to the calculation of the NYPA component of the
Transco Facilities Charge for customers in a region designated by the NYISO as “NYPA
North.”7

The Commission approved the Settlement Agreement on March 17, 2016, and rejected
NY Transco’s May 4 Compliance Filing as moot because the Settlement Agreement includes the
allocation of costs for the TOTS Projects.8  The Commission directed Applicants to file within

 

3 The Settling Parties are NY Transco, New York Power Authority (“NYPA”), Power Supply Long Island, New York Public Service Commission (“NYPSC”), New York State Department of State Utility Intervention Unit, City of New York, New York Association of Public Power, Municipal Electric Utilities Association of New York, and Multiple Intervenors (an unincorporated association of approximately 60 industrial, commercial, and institutional energy consumers with manufacturing and other facilities located throughout New York State).

5 Id. at Ordering Paragraphs (E) and (F).

6 The TOTS Projects are the Ramapo to Rock Tavern Project, the Staten Island Unbottling Project, and NYSEG’s
portion of the Marcy South Series Compensation Fraser to Coopers Corner Reconductoring Project.  The two
projects proposed to be developed by NY Transco in the NYPSC’s Alternating Current Transmission Proceeding -
the Edic to Pleasant Valley Project and the Oakdale to Fraser Project (together, the “AC Projects”) - are not subject
to the terms of the Settlement Agreement.  On January 27, 2016, the Chief Administrative Law Judge held the
proceeding in Docket No. ER15-572-000 in abeyance with respect to outstanding issues associated with the AC
Projects until the NYISO issues a Viability and Sufficiency Assessment, consistent with the NYISO OATT, with
respect to the AC Projects.

30 days of the March 17 Order revised tariff sheets implementing the Settlement Agreement, including the minor agreed upon changes to the formula rate template as well as the changes to the protocols for the formula rate pursuant to the April 2 Order.9

 

II.DESCRIPTION OF FILING

 

In compliance with the Commission’s April 2 Order and March 17 Order, NY Transco hereby submits the following revisions to the NYISO OATT, all of which are identified in blackline in this filing.

 

First, Attachment DD (Section 36) of the OATT is revised to reflect revision to the formula rate protocols, as directed by the Commission in the April 2 Order.  These revisions are located in Sections 3(e)(xi) and 4(b) of the formula rate protocols (Section 36.3.1.2).

 

Second, Attachment 1 to Attachment DD (Section 36.2) is revised to reflect the cost allocation for the TOTS Projects set forth in the Settlement Agreement.

Third, Attachment DD (Section 36.1.1) is revised to accurately reflect the projects to which Attachment DD applies.  In addition, revisions have been made throughout the formula rate template (Section 36.3.1.1) and implementation protocols (Section 36.3.1.2) to reflect the agreement of the Settling Parties as set forth in the Settlement Agreement and the comments submitted in response to the Settlement Agreement.

Fourth, Schedule 13 (Section 6.13) is revised throughout to reflect necessary revisions to the calculation of the NYPA component of the Transco Facilities Charge to account for NYPA North customers.  These revisions were filed as comments on the Settlement Agreement by NY Transco at the request of the NYISO to ensure that the OATT provisions to be implemented accurately reflect the Settlement Agreement.

 

Fifth, Schedule 13 (Section 6.13.4.2) includes a minor revision to the cross-reference to
the formula rate template (Attachment 2 of Attachment DD or Section 36.3).  In discussions with
the NYISO, it was determined that minor clarifying language was necessary to reflect the fact
that the formula rate template approved by the Commission in the March 17 Order is a form of
the formula rate template that will be used to calculate the Transco Facilities Charge on an
annual basis.  The collections that the NYISO will begin on behalf of NY Transco on June 1,
2016, will be based on the estimated costs calculated in NY Transco’s November 30, 2015
annual projection, which was posted to the NYISO website in accordance with the protocols.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9 Id. at PP 5, 7.  The April 2 Order directed NY Transco to revise its protocols to include language proposed by NYAPP as new Section 3(e)(vi) and Section 4(b).  As a result of additional changes to the protocols requested by FERC Trial Staff and Settling Parties, the changes to the protocols directed by the April 2 Order are currently located in Section 3(e)(xi) and Section 4(b).

6.13Schedule 13 - Rate Mechanism for the Recovery of the Transco Facilities

Charge (“TFC”)

6.13.1Applicability

This Schedule establishes the Transco Facilities Charge (“TFC”) for the recovery of costs
related to the following New York Transco LLC (“NY Transco”) projects, each of which is
hereinafter referred to as an “Approved NYTP” and each of which has been approved by the
New York Public Service Commission (“NYPSC”) on November 4, 2013, in Case No. 12-E-
0503 (the “Transmission Owner Transmission Solutions” or “TOTS” projects): (1) the Ramapo-
to-Rock Tavern Project; (2) the Marcy South Series Compensation Fraser-to-Coopers Corner
Reconductoring Project; and (3) the Staten Island Unbottling Project.1  NY Transco may
undertake an Approved NYTP and seek cost recovery through a TFC under this Schedule.2
The TFC shall be separate from the Transmission Service Charge (“TSC”) and the NYPA Transmission Adjustment Charge (“NTAC”) determined in accordance with Section 14 of
Attachment H of the ISO OATT, and any Reliability Facilities Charge (“RFC”) determined
pursuant to Section 6.10 of the ISO OATT.

In addition, NY Transco shall receive the outage charges described herein and shall not
be charged O/R-t-S Congestion Rent Shortfall Charges, U/D Congestion Rent Shortfall Charges,
O/R-t-S Auction Revenue Shortfall Charges or U/D Auction Revenue Shortfall Charges or be
paid O/R-t-S Congestion Rent Surplus Payments, U/D Congestion Rent Surplus Payments, O/R-
t-S Auction Revenue Surplus Payments or U/D Auction Revenue Surplus Payments under

 

 

1 Any costs incurred on the forced cooling portion of the Staten Island Unbottling Project after the date of
the Commission’s order approving the offer of partial settlement in Docket No. ER15-572, issued on
March 17, 2016, shall not be recovered through the TFC without further order of the Commission.

2 Capitalized terms used in this Schedule that are not defined in this Schedule shall have the same meaning set forth in Section 31.1.1 of Attachment Y of the ISO OATT.


 

 

Section 20.2.4 and Section 20.3.6 of the ISO OATT; and NY Transco shall receive Incremental TCCs as described in Section 19.2.4 of the ISO OATT, but NY Transco shall not be a
“Transmission Owner” for purposes of Section 20.2.5 or Section 20.3.7 of the ISO OATT and accordingly shall not receive an allocation of Net Congestion Rents under Section 20.2.5 of the ISO OATT or Net Auction Revenues under Section 20.3.7 of the ISO OATT.

 

6.13.2Revenue Requirement for TFC

The TFC shall be calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 6.13.3
using the revenue requirement of NY Transco necessary to recover the costs of an Approved
NYTP.  The revenue requirement to be used in the calculation of the TFC is described in Section

6.13.4.  The costs that may be included in the revenue requirement include all reasonably

 

incurred costs related to the preparation of proposals for, and the development, financing,

construction, operation, and maintenance of, an Approved NYTP, including, but not limited to, a reasonable return on investment and any incentives for the construction of transmission projects approved under Section 205 or Section 219 of the Federal Power Act and the Commission’s regulations implementing those sections, as determined by the Commission.

 

6.13.3 Calculation and Recovery of TFC and Payment of Recovered Revenue

The ISO will calculate and bill the TFC for each Approved NYTP in accordance with this
Section 6.13.3.  The ISO shall collect the TFC from the LSEs.  The LSEs, including
Transmission Owners, competitive LSEs, and municipal systems, serving Load located in
Transmission Districts to which the costs of the Approved NYTP have been allocated (each a
“Responsible LSE”) shall pay the TFC.  The costs of each Approved NYTP shall be allocated as
set forth in the appropriate allocation table in Section 36.2 of Attachment 1 to Attachment DD;
provided, however, that the portion of the costs of the Approved NYTP allocated to Responsible


 

 

LSEs located in the NYPA North Subzone shall be calculated as part of the allocation percentage for Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid set forth in Section 36.2.

6.13.3.1 The revenue requirement filed pursuant to this Schedule by NY Transco

will be the basis for the TFC Rate ($/MWh) for the Billing Period that shall be
charged by the ISO to each Responsible LSE based on its Actual Energy
Withdrawals as set forth in Section 6.13.3.4.  The revenue requirement of the NY
Transco will be calculated according to the formula rate set forth in Section

36.3.1. of Attachment DD of the ISO OATT.

6.13.3.2 NY Transco shall in relation to any Approved NYTP reasonably exercise

 

its right to obtain and maintain in effect all Incremental TCCs, including

temporary Incremental TCCs, to which it has rights under Section 19.2.4 of the
ISO OATT and shall take the actions required to do so in accordance with the
procedures specified therein.  Notwithstanding Section 19.2.4.7 and 19.2.4.8 of
the ISO OATT, Incremental TCCs created and awarded to NY Transco as a result
of implementation of an Approved NYTP shall not be eligible for sale in
Secondary Markets.  Incremental TCCs that may be created and awarded to NY
Transco as a result of the implementation of an Approved NYTP, shall be offered
by the ISO in all rounds of the six month Sub-Auction of each Centralized TCC
Auction conducted by the ISO.  The ISO shall disburse the associated auction
revenues to NY Transco.  The total amount of the auction revenues disbursed to
the NY Transco pursuant to this Section 6.13.3.2 shall be used in the calculation
of the TFC Rate, as set forth in Section 6.13.3.4.  Incremental TCCs associated
with an Approved NYTP shall continue to be offered for the duration of the


 

 

 

 

 

Incremental TCCs, established pursuant to the terms of Attachment M.

 

The revenue offset discussed in this Section 6.13.3.2 shall commence

upon the first payment of revenues related to Incremental TCCs associated with
the implementation of an Approved NYTP on or after the date the TFC is
implemented.  The TFC and the revenue offset related to Incremental TCCs
associated with the implementation of an Approved NYTP shall not require and
shall not be dependent upon a reopening or review of NY Transco’s revenue
requirements for an RFC pursuant to Section 6.10 of the ISO OATT.

6.13.3.2.1 Outage Charges related to Incremental TCCs.  Outage charges developed

 

pursuant to the provisions of OATT Section 19 applicable to Expanders (as that

term is defined in OATT Section 19) not subject to OATT Section 20.2.5, shall be payable to the ISO for any hour in the Day-Ahead Market during which an
Expansion, associated with an Approved NYTP, is modeled to be wholly or
partially out of service.

6.13.3.3 The billing units for the TFC Rate for the Billing Period shall be based on

the Actual Energy Withdrawals available for the current Billing Period for those Transmission Districts allocated the costs of the Approved NYTP in accordance with Attachment DD of the ISO OATT.

 

6.13.3.4   Cost Recovery Methodology

6.13.3.4.1 Cost Recovery Methodology for All Responsible LSEs Except NYPA

The ISO shall calculate the TFC for each Responsible LSE as follows:

 

Step 1:    Calculate the $ assigned to each Transmission District


 

 

 

 

 

TFCt,B = � ��AnnualRRp,B − Incremental TCC Revenuep,B  +  Outage Cost Adjustmentp,B

p∈P

× �TransmissionDistrictCostAllocationt,p��

 

 

Step 2:    Calculate a per-MWh Rate for each Transmission District

 

 

TFCRatet,B = TFCt,B⁄ MWht,B

 

Step 3:    Calculate charge for each Billing Period for each Responsible LSE in
each Transmission District

 

 

ChargeB,l,t = TFCRatet,B × MWhl,t,B

 

Step 4:    Calculate charge for each Billing Period for each Responsible LSE across
all Transmission Districts

 

 

ChargeB,l = ��ChargeB,l,t

t∈T

Where,

l = the relevant Responsible LSE; P = set of projects;

T = set of ISO Transmission Districts;
t = an individual Transmission District
B = the relevant Billing Period;

MWht, B =  Actual Energy Withdrawals in Transmission District t aggregated across all hours in Billing Period B;

MWhl,t,B= Actual Energy Withdrawals for Responsible LSE l in Transmission District t aggregated across all hours in Billing Period B;

 

Annual RRp,B = the pro rata share of the annual revenue requirement for each project p as discussed in Section 6.13.2 above allocated for Billing Period B;


 

 

 

 

 

Incremental TCC Revenuep,B = the auction revenue derived from the sale of Incremental TCCs
plus Incremental TCC payments received by NY Transco pursuant to Section 20.2.3 of the ISO
OATT for each project p as discussed in Section 6.13.3.2 above allocated for Billing Period B.
The revenues from the sale of Incremental TCCs in the ISO’s six month Sub-Auctions of each
Centralized TCC Auction shall be allocated uniformly across all hours of the Billing Period;

Outage Cost Adjustmentp,B = the Outage Charges determined pursuant to OATT Section

6.13.3.2.1 for any hour in the Day-Ahead Market during which the project p is modeled to be wholly or partially out of service aggregated across all hours in Billing Period B;

Transmission District Cost Allocationt,p = the proportion of the cost of project p allocated to Transmission District t, as set forth in Section 36.2 of Attachment 1 to Attachment DD; provided, however, that the proportion of the cost of project p allocated to the NYPA North Subzone shall be included in the percentage for Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid set forth in Section 36.2.

6.13.3.5 For the initial Rate Year 2016, the ISO may begin billing and collecting

 

NY Transco’s projected TFC subsequent to January 1, 2016; however, once

billing commences in 2016, the ISO shall bill and collect NY Transco’s projected TFC in equal installments for each Billing Period over the balance of 2016.

6.13.3.6The ISO will collect the appropriate TFC revenues each Billing Period and

remit those revenues to NY Transco in accordance with the ISO’s billing and

settlement procedures.

 

6.13.4Recovery of Costs Incurred by NY Transco

6.13.4.1The TFC shall be used as the cost recovery mechanism for the recovery of

the costs of an Approved NYTP that is proposed, developed, or constructed by NY Transco under applicable federal, state and local law and authorized by the Commission to recover costs under this rate mechanism; provided, however,
nothing in this cost recovery mechanism shall be deemed to create any additional rights for NY Transco to proceed with a regulated transmission project that NY Transco does not otherwise have at law.


 

 

 

 

 

6.13.4.2The period for cost recovery will be determined by the Commission and

will begin if and when the Approved NYTP is completed, or as otherwise

determined by the Commission.  NY Transco and/or the ISO, as applicable, will make a filing with the Commission to provide for its review and approval or
acceptance, as appropriate, of the final project cost and resulting revenue
requirement to be recovered through the TFC, which shall be reproduced in the form of Section 36.3 of Attachment 2 to Attachment DD of the ISO OATT.  The filing may include all reasonably incurred costs related to NY Transco’s
undertaking an Approved NYTP as specified in Section 6.13.2 of this Schedule. NY Transco shall bear the burden of resolving all concerns about the contents of the filing that might be raised in such proceeding.

AThe balances in Accounts 190, 281, 282 and 283, as adjusted by any amounts in contra accounts identified as regulatory assets or liabilities related

to FASB 106 or 109.  The formula uses the stated average of the beginning and end of year balances to prorate ADIT to comply with IRS normalization rules.

Balance of Account 255 is reduced by prior flow throughs and excluded if the utility chose to utilize amortization  of tax credits against taxable income as discussed

in Note F.  Account 281 is not allocated.

BIdentified in Form 1 as being only transmission related.

CCash Working Capital assigned to transmission is one-eighth  of O&M allocated to transmission

Prepayments are the electric related prepayments booked to Account No. 165 and reported on Pages 110-111

line 57 in the Form 1. DLine 42 removes EPRI Annual Membership  Dues listed in Form 1 at 353._.f (enter FN1 line

#),

any  EPRI Lobbying expenses included in line 42 of the template and all Regulatory  Commission  Expenses itemized at 351.h

Line 42 removes all advertising   included in Account 930.1, except safety, education or out-reach related advertising

Line 42 removes all EEI and EPRI research, development and demonstration expenses and NY Transco will not participate in EEI or EPRI.

Line 43 reflects all Regulatory  Commission  Expenses directly related to transmission service, RTO filings, or transmission siting itemized at 351.h
Line 38 or Line 41 and thus Line 45 shall include any NYISO charges other than penalties, including but not limited to
administrative costs. E Includes only FICA, unemployment, highway, property, gross receipts, and other assessments

charged in the current year.

Taxes related to income are excluded.   Gross receipts taxes are not included in transmission revenue requirement  in the Rate Formula Template, since they are recovered elsewhere.

F The currently effective income tax rate,  where FIT is the Federal income tax rate; SIT is the State income tax rate, and p =

"the percentage  of federal income tax deductible for state income taxes".  If the utility is taxed in more than one state it must attach a work paper showing the name of each state and how the blended or composite SIT was developed.   Furthermore, a utility that elected to utilize amortization  of tax credits against taxable income, rather than book tax credits to Account No. 255 and reduce

rate base.

multiplied by (1/1-T) .

Inputs Required:FIT =-

SIT=-(State Income Tax Rate or Composite  SIT from Attach 3)

p =-(percent of federal income tax deductible for state purposes)

n=-(not for profit entity ownership percentage)

For each Rate Year (including both Annual Projections  and True-Up Adjustments) the statutory income tax rates utilized in the Formula Rate shall reflect the weighted average rates

actually in effect during the Rate Year.  For example, if the statutory tax rate is 10% from January 1 through June 30, and 5% from July 1 through December 31, such rates would be weighted 181/365 and 184/365, respectively,  for a non-leap year.

G     The cost of debt is determined  using the internal rate of return methodology shown on Attachment  5 once project financing is obtained.  Prior to obtaining project financing,
an interest rate of 3.85% from Table 4 of Attachment  5 will be used and will not be trued up.  Attachment  5 contains an estimate of the internal rate of return
methodology; the methodology will be applied to actual amounts for use in Appendix A.

After the completion  of construction, the  cost of debt will be calculated pursuant to Attachment  3

HRemoves dollar amount of transmission plant included in the development of OATT ancillary services

rates and generation step-up facilities, which are deemed to included in OATT ancillary services.

For these purposes, generation  step-up facilities are those facilities at a generator substation on

which there is no through-flow  when the generator is shut down.

IEnter dollar amounts

JROE will be supported in the original filing and no change in ROE may be made absent a filing with FERC under FPA Section 205 or 206.

The capital structure will be the actual capital structure up to 53% equity.  Lines 93 will be capped at 53%  equity. If the actual equity ratio exceeds 53% , the common stock ratio will be reset to 53% and the debt ratio will be equal to 1 minus sum of the preferred stock ratio and common stock ratio.

K Unamortized Abandoned  Plant and Amortization  of Abandoned  Plant will be zero until the Commission  accepts or approves recovery of the cost of abandoned  plant.  Company must submit a Section 205 filing to recover the cost of

abandoned  plant.  Any such filing to recover the cost of an abandoned  plant item shall be made no later than 180 days after the date that Company formally declares such plant item abandoned.

LUnamortized Regulatory  Assets, consisting of all expenses incurred but not included in CWIP prior to the date the rate is charged to customers,  is included at line 28

Carrying costs equal to the weighted cost of capital on the balance of the regulatory asset will accrue until the rate is charged to customers

M     Balances exclude Asset Retirement  Costs

NNon-incentive investments  are investments  without ROE incentives and incentive investments  are investments  with ROE incentives

Total-

All unfunded reserves will be listed above, specifically including (but not limited to) all subaccounts for FERC Account Nos. 228.1 through 228.4. "Unfunded reserve" is defined as an accrued balance (1) created and increased by debiting an expense which is included in this formula rate (column (e), using the same allocator in column (g) as used in the formula to allocate the amounts in the corresponding expense account) (2) in
advance of an anticipated expenditure related to that expense (3) that is not deposited in a restricted account (e.g., set aside in an escrow account, see column (d)) with the earnings thereon retained within that
account. Where a given reserve is only partially funded through accruals collected from customers, only the balance funded by customer collections shall serve as a rate base credit, see column (f).  The source of
monthly balance data is company records.

Attachment 4Utilizing Appendix A Data

 

The calcuations below calcuate that additional revenue requirement for 100 basis points of ROE and 1 percent change in the equity component of the capital structure.

These amounts are then used to caluate the actual increase in revenue in the table below (starting on line 66) associated with the actual incentive authortized by the Commisison The use of the 100 basis point calulations do not presume any particular incentive (i.e., 100 basis points) being granted by the Commisison.

Notes  1 The IRR is the input to Debt Cost shown on Appendix A, Page 4, Line 91 during the construction period, after obtaining project financing, in accordance with Note G of Appendix A.

2. The IRR is a discount rate that makes the net present value of a series of cash flows equal to zero. The IRR equation is shown on line 4.

N is the last quarter the loan would be outstanding

t is each quarter

Ct is the cash flow (Table 5, Col. I in each quarter)

Alternatively the equation can be written as 0 = C0 + C1/(1+IRR) + C2/(1+IRR)2 + C3/(1+IRR)3 + . . . +Cn/(1+IRR)n and solved for IRR

The Excel ™ formula on line 2 is : (round(XIRR(first quarter of loan Col A of Table 5:last quarter of loan Col A of Table 5, first quarter of loan Col I of Table 5: last quarter of loan Col I of Table 5, 8%),4)) The 8% in the above formula is a seed number to ensure the formula produces a positive number.

3. Line 1 reflects the loan amount, the maximum amount that can be drawn on

4. Lines 5 through 13 include the fees associated with the loan. They are estimated based on current bank condition and are updated with the actual fees once the actual fees are known.

5. The estimate of the average 3 month Libor forward rate for the year on line 14 is that published by Bloomberg Finance L.P. during August of the prior year and is trued-up to actual
average 3 month Libor rate for the year under the loan.

6. Table 5, Col. C reflect the capital expenditures in each quarter

7. Table 5, Col. D reflect the amount of the loan that is drawn down in the quarter

8. Table 5, Col. E is the amount of principle drawn down

9. Table 5, Col F calculates the interest on the principle drawn down to date based on the applicable interest on line 16

10. Table 5, Col. G is the total origination fees in line 10 and is input in the first quarter that a portion of the loan in drawn

11. Table 5, Col. H is calculated as follows:

(line 1/1000 less Col. E prior quarter)*line 13/4 +line 12/4000+line 11/4000

Where A = Loan amount in line 1 less the amount drawn down (Table 5, Col. (E)) in the prior quarter

12. The inputs shall be estimated based on the current market conditions and is subject to true up for all inputs , e.g., fees, interest rates, spread, and Table 3 once the
amounts are known

13. Prior to obtaining long term debt, the cost of debt, will be 3.28%. If NY Transco obtains project financing, the long term debt rate will be determined using the methodology in Attachment 5 and Attachment 5 contains a

hypothetical example of the internal rate of return methodology; the methodology will be applied to actual amounts for use in Attachment A. After the first project is placed into service, NY Transco will use the its actual cost of long term debt determined in Attachment 3.   The capital structure will be the actual capital structure up to 53% equity.

Transmission facility Contributions in Aid of ConstructionNote 1

 

These depreciation and amortization rates will not change absent the appropriate filing at FERC.

 

Note 1:  In the event a Contribution in Aid of Construction (CIAC) is made for a transmission facility, the transmission
depreciation rates above will be weighted based on the relative amount of underlying plant booked to the accounts
shown in lines 1-7 above and the weighted average depreciation rate will be used to amortize the CIAC.
Once determined for a particular CIAC, the rate will not change for that CIAC absent Commission approval.

36.3.1.2   Formula Rate Implementation Protocols

The formula rate template (“Template”) and these Formula Rate Implementation

Protocols (“Protocols”) together comprise the filed rate (“Formula Rate”) of NY Transco for
transmission revenue requirement determinations under the ISO OATT.  NY Transco shall
follow the instructions specified in the Formula Rate to calculate annually its Net Adjusted
Revenue Requirement, as set forth at page 1, line 5 of the Template (“Net Adjusted Revenue
Requirement”).  The Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement shall be determined for January 1 to
December 31 of a given calendar year (the “Rate Year”).  The Formula Rate shall become

effective for recovery of NY Transco’s Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement upon the effective
date for incorporation into the ISO OATT through an appropriate filing with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or “Commission”) under Section 205 of the Federal Power
Act (“FPA”).

 

Section 1.Annual Projection

a.No later than September 30 preceding the first Rate Year, and each subsequent

Rate Year, NY Transco shall determine its projected Net Adjusted Revenue
Requirement for the upcoming Rate Year in accordance with NY Transco’s
Formula Rate (“Annual Projection”).  The Annual Projection shall include the
True-up Adjustment described and defined in Section 2 below, if applicable.  NY
Transco shall cause an electronic version of the Annual Projection to be posted in
both a Portable Document Format and fully-functioning Excel file fully populated
with formulas intact at a publicly accessible location on ISO’s internet website.
Such posting shall include (i) all inputs in sufficient detail to identify the
components of NY Transco’s projected Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement, and


 

 

(ii) explanations of the bases for the projections and input data to demonstrate that each input to the formula rate is consistent with the requirements of the formula rate.  If the date for making such posting of the Annual Projection should fall on a weekend or a holiday recognized by FERC, then the posting shall be made no later than the next business day.  NY Transco shall electronically serve each
Annual Projection upon the Service List.2

b. If NY Transco makes changes in the Annual Projection for a given Rate Year, NY

Transco shall cause such revised Annual Projection to be promptly posted at a
publicly accessible location on the ISO internet website and shall electronically
serve a link to the website upon the Service List.  Changes posted prior to October

31 of the preceding Rate Year, or the next business day if October 31 is not a

business day (or such later date as can be accommodated under the ISO’s billing practices), shall be reflected in the Annual Projection for the Rate Year; changes posted after that date will be reflected, as appropriate, in the True-up Adjustment for the Rate Year.

c. The Annual Projection, including the True-Up Adjustment, for each Rate Year

shall be subject to review, challenge, true-up and refunds or surcharges with interest, to the extent and in the manner provided in these Protocols.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 As used in these protocols, “Service List” shall include but not be limited to (i) the email list of ISO OATT Transmission Customers maintained by the ISO; (ii) any state regulatory agency with rate jurisdiction over a public utility located within the ISO  footprint; and (iii) any consumer advocate agency authorized by state law to review and contest the rates for any such public utility, provided such consumer advocate agency requests to be placed on the Service List and provides an e-mail address to NY Transco.


 

 

 

 

 

Section 2.True-up Adjustment

NY Transco will calculate the amount of under- or over-collection of its actual Net

Revenue Requirement, as set forth at page 1, line 3 of the Template during the preceding Rate Year (“True-up Adjustment”) after the FERC Form No. 1 data for that Rate Year has been filed with the Commission.  The True-up Adjustment shall be the sum of components a and b,
determined in the following manner:

a. NY Transco’s projected Net Revenue Requirement collected during the previous

Rate Year3 will be compared to NY Transco’s actual Net Revenue Requirement
for the previous Rate Year calculated in accordance with NY Transco’s Formula
Rate and based upon (i) NY Transco’s FERC Form No. 1 for that same Rate
Year, (ii) any FERC orders specifically applicable to NY Transco’s calculation of
its annual revenue requirement, (iii) the books and records of NY Transco (which
shall be maintained consistent with the FERC Uniform System of Accounts
(“USofA”)), (iv) FERC accounting policies and practices applicable to the
calculation of annual revenue requirements under formula rates, and (v) any
aspects of the ISO OATT and other governing documents that apply to the
calculation of annual revenue requirements under individual transmission owner
formula rates, to determine any over- or under-recovery (“True-up Adjustment
Over/Under Recovery”).  NY Transco will include a variance analysis of, at
minimum, actual revenue requirement components of rate base, operating and

 

 

3 If the initial year of this rate schedule is a partial year, the initial projected Net Revenue Requirement will be divided by the number of months the Formula Rate is in effect to calculate the monthly projected cost of service to be collected each month of the first year.  Similarly, the actual Net Revenue Requirement will be divided by the number of months the rate is in effect to calculate the actual cost of service to be collected each month of the first year.  The first True-up Adjustment will compare the projected Net Revenue Requirement billed and the actual Net Revenue Requirement for that initial Rate Year.


 

 

maintenance expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, taxes, return on rate base, and revenue credits as compared to the corresponding components in the projected revenue requirement that was calculated for the prior Rate Year with an explanation of all changes.

b.Interest on any True-up Adjustment Over/Under Recovery of the actual Net

Revenue Requirement shall be calculated in accordance with the Formula Rate

 

Attachment 7a.

 

Section 3.Annual Update

a.On or before June 30 following each Rate Year, NY Transco shall calculate its

actual Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement, including the True-up Adjustment as described in Section 2 (“Annual Update”) for such Rate Year, and shall cause
such Annual Update to be posted, in both a Portable Document Format and fullyfunctioning Excel format containing the populated template with formula intact for that year’s update, at a publicly accessible location on the ISO internet
website, and electronically serve a link to the website upon the Service List.   In addition, the Annual Update shall be contemporaneously submitted as an
informational filing with the FERC.

b.If the date for making the Annual Update posting should fall on a weekend or a

holiday recognized by the FERC, then the posting shall be due on the next

business day.

 

c. The date on which the last of the events listed in Section 3.a or 3.b occurs shall be

that year’s “Publication Date.”  Any delay past the date on which the last of the
events listed in Section 3.a or 3.b occurs shall result in an equivalent extension of


 

 

time for the submission of information requests and challenges, as described in Sections 4 and 5 below.

d. Together with the posting of the Annual Update, NY Transco shall cause to be

posted on the ISO website the time, date and location for a stakeholder meeting
including but not limited to (i) any Eligible Customer under the ISO OATT; (ii)
any regulatory agency with rate jurisdiction over a public utility located within the
ISO footprint; (iii) any consumer advocate authorized by state law to review and
contest the rates for any such public utility, or (iv) any party with standing under
FPA Section 205 or 206 (collectively, "Interested Persons") in order for NY

Transco to explain its Annual Update and to provide Interested Persons an

opportunity to seek information and clarifications regarding the Annual Update (“Stakeholder Meeting”).  NY Transco shall accommodate interested parties that wish to participate in the Stakeholder Meeting via teleconference or webinar.  The Stakeholder Meeting shall be held no less than twenty (20) business days and no more than thirty (30) business days after June 30.

e.The Annual Update for the Rate Year:

(i)Shall provide, via the Formula Rate worksheets, sufficiently detailed supporting

documentation for data (and all adjustments thereto or allocations thereof) used in the Formula Rate that are not stated in the FERC Form No. 1 to enable any
interested party to replicate the calculation of the Formula Rate.4

 

 

4 It is the intent of the Formula Rate, including the supporting explanations and allocations described therein, that
each input to the Formula Rate for purposes of determining the actual Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement for a
given Rate Year will be either taken directly from the FERC Form No. 1 or reconcilable to the FERC Form No. 1 by
the application of clearly identified and supported information.  If the referenced from is superseded, the successor
form(s) shall be utilized and supplemented as necessary to provide equivalent information as that provided in the
superseded form.  If the referenced form is discontinued, equivalent information as that provided in the discontinue
form shall be utilized.


 

 

 

 

 

(ii)Shall provide supporting documentation and workpapers for the data used in the

Annual Update that are not otherwise available in the FERC Form No. 1,

including all adjustments made to the FERC Form No. 1 data in determining formula inputs.

(iii) Shall include a variance analysis of, at minimum, actual revenue requirement

components of rate base, operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation and
amortization expense, taxes, return on rate base, and revenue credits as compared
to the corresponding components in the projected revenue requirement that was

calculated for the prior Annual Update with an explanation of changes.

 

(iv) Shall provide notice and a narrative summary of all changes in NY Transco’s

accounting policies and practices from those in effect for the calendar year upon
which the immediately preceding Annual Update was based that affect the
Formula Rate or calculation of the Annual Update (“Accounting Change(s)”).
Accounting Changes may, among other things, include:  (1) the initial
implementation of an accounting standard or policy, (2) the initial implementation
of accounting practices for unusual or unconventional items where FERC has not
provided specific accounting direction, (3) corrections of mistakes and prior
period adjustments,5 (4) the implementation of new estimation methods or
policies that change prior estimates, and (5) changes to income tax elections.
Such notice shall also include (1) those changes that could impact the Formula
Rate or the calculations under the Formula Rate within the next three years; and

 

5 For purposes of these Protocols, “mistakes” shall mean errors or omissions regarding the values inputted into the
Formula Rate template, such as, but not limited to, arithmetic and other inadvertent computational errors, erroneous
Form No. 1 references, or the like.  Mistakes shall not include matters involving exercise of judgment or substantive
differences of opinion regarding the derivation of an input that is more properly the subject of the annual review
process.


 

 

(2) any changes in the ISO OATT from the provisions of the ISO OATT in effect during the calendar year upon which the most recent Net Revenue Requirement was based and that could impact the Formula Rate or the calculations under the Formula Rate within the next three years.

(v)Shall be subject to review and challenge in accordance with the procedures set

forth in Sections 4, 5, and 6 of these Protocols.

(vi) Shall be subject to review and challenge in accordance with the procedures set

forth in these Protocols with respect to the prudence of any costs and expenditures included for recovery in the Annual Update; provided, however, that nothing in these Protocols is intended to modify the Commission’s applicable precedent with respect to the burden of going forward or burden of proof under formula rates in such prudence challenges; and

(vii) Shall not seek to modify the Formula Rate and shall not be subject to challenge by

any Interested Person seeking to modify the Formula Rate (i.e., any modifications to the Formula Rate will require, as applicable, an FPA Section 205 or Section 206 filing or initiation of a Section 206 investigation).

(viii) Shall provide support for any deferred income tax account balances, including any

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Nos. 106 and 109 Adjustments.
(ix) Shall identify and provide support for any costs and expenses related to any
merger or acquisition of a jurisdictional facility (including, but not limited to,
acquisition premiums and goodwill) that have been included in the Annual
Update, including a citation to the FERC order approving the recovery of such
costs and expenses; otherwise, any such costs that have been reported in the


 

 

FERC Form No. 1 must be deducted from the costs to be recovered in the Annual
Update.

(x) Shall identify any asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) included in the Annual

Update, including a citation to the FERC order approving recovery of the ARO; otherwise, any such items reported in the FERC Form No. 1 must be deducted from the costs to be recovered in the Annual Update.

(xi) Shall identify the specific amounts included in the annual Update related to each

transmission incentive project, a citation to the proceeding in which FERC
granted the incentive, and provide a derivation of the value for each project.  (xii) Shall include a worksheet listing all the errors and corrections agreed to by NY
Transco and any interested parties, or ordered by FERC, related to the previous
Rate Year that have been incorporated into the current Annual Update.

f. The following Formula Rate inputs shall be stated values to be used in the

Formula Rate until changed pursuant to an FPA Section 205 or 206 proceeding:

(i) rate of return on common equity (“ROE”); (ii) “Post-Employment Benefits
other than Pensions” pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions (“PBOP”) charges; and (iii) the depreciation and/or amortization rates as
set forth in Attachment 9 to the Formula Rate template.  No changes may be made
to the ROE, capital structure, PBOP expenses, or depreciation and/or amortization
rates absent a filing under Sections 205 or 206 of the Federal Power Act.

g.Example - Timeline for 2015 Annual Update:


 

 

On or before September 30 of the first year, NY Transco will determine
the projected Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement for the second year, which is
expected to be the first year that costs are recovered from ISO customers under
the Formula Rate.  NY Transco will post the Annual Projection for the second
Rate Year in accordance with Section 1 above.  NY Transco will not determine a
True-up Adjustment or post an Annual Update on August 1 of the second year if
no costs have been recovered under the Formula Rate during the first year.  On or
before September 30 of the second year, NY Transco will post the Annual

Projection for the third Rate Year.  On or before August 1 of the third year, NY
Transco will post its first Annual Update, consisting of the True-up Adjustment
for the second Rate Year determined pursuant to Section 2 above.  Such True-up
Adjustment will be reflected in the Annual Projection of the Net Adjusted
Revenue Requirement for the fourth Rate Year posted on or before September 30
of the third year.  The Annual Update posted August 1 of the third year will be
subject to the customer review and challenge procedures described in Sections 4,
5, and 6 of these Protocols.

 

Section 4.Annual Review Procedures

Each Annual Update shall be subject to the following review procedures (“Annual Review Procedures”):

a. Interested Persons shall have up to the latest of one hundred fifty (150) calendar

days after the Publication Date, thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of all
responses to timely submitted information requests (unless such period is
extended with the written consent of NY Transco), or thirty (30) calendar days


 

 

after resolution of a dispute that does not result in the production of additional
information (“Review Period”), to review the calculations and to notify NY
Transco in writing of any specific challenges, including but not limited to
challenges related to Accounting Changes and to the Annual Update
(“Preliminary Challenge”).  Interested persons may challenge through a
Preliminary Challenge or a Formal Challenge: (1) whether NY Transco has
properly calculated the Annual Update under review (including any corrections
pursuant to Section 6); (ii) whether the costs included in the Annual Update are
properly recordable and recorded, prudent, reasonable, and incurred according to
appropriate procurement methods and cost control methodologies and otherwise
consistent with NY Transco’s accounting policies, practices and procedures
consistent with the USofA; (iii) whether the input data used in the Annual Update
are accurate and correctly used in the Formula Rate; (iv) the effect of Accounting
Changes; and (v) whether the Formula Rate has been applied according to its
terms, including the procedures in these Protocols.  NY Transco shall promptly
cause to be posted all Preliminary Challenges at a publicly accessible location on
the ISO internet website and a link to the website will be electronically served
upon the Service List.  Any Formal Challenges are to be filed in the NY Transco’s
informational filing dockets.

NY Transco shall respond in writing to a Preliminary Challenge within

twenty (20) business days of receipt, and its response shall notify the challenging
party of the extent to which NY Transco agrees or disagrees with the challenge.
If NY Transco disagrees with the Preliminary Challenge, its response shall


 

 

include supporting documentation.  NY Transco shall promptly cause to be posted
responses to all Preliminary Challenges at a publicly accessible location on the
ISO internet website and a link to the website will be electronically served upon
the Service List.

b. Interested Persons shall have up to one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after

each annual Publication Date (unless such period is extended with the written

consent of NY Transco) to serve reasonable information requests on NY Transco.
Information requests shall be limited to what is necessary to determine if: (i) NY
Transco has properly calculated the Annual Update under review (including any
corrections pursuant to Section 6); (ii) the costs included in the Annual Update are
properly recordable and recorded, reasonable, prudent, and incurred according to
appropriate procurement methods and cost control methodologies and otherwise
consistent with NY Transco’s accounting policies, practices and procedures

consistent with the USofA; (iii) the input data used in the Annual Update are
accurate and correctly used in the Formula Rate; (iv) the effect of Accounting
Changes; (v) the Formula Rate has been applied according to its terms, including the procedures in these Protocols; and (vi) any other information that may
reasonably have substantive effect on the calculation of the revenue requirement pursuant to the Formula Rate.  NY Transco shall cause any information requests received to be posted at a publicly accessible location on the ISO internet website and shall electronically serve a link to the website upon the Service List.  The
information and document requests shall not otherwise be directed to ascertaining whether the formula rate is just and reasonable.


 

 

 

 

 

c.NY Transco shall make a good faith effort to respond to information requests

pertaining to the Annual Update within ten (10) business days of receipt of such
requests.  In the event an information request is not provided within 10 business
days, the parties will mutually agree on an extension of the Review Period.

To the extent NY Transco and any Interested Person(s) are unable to

resolve disputes related to information requests submitted in accordance with

 

these Annual Review Procedures, NY Transco or any Interested Person may

petition the FERC to appoint an Administrative Law Judge as a discovery master
to resolve the discovery dispute(s) in accordance with these Protocols and
consistent with the FERC’s discovery rules.  NY Transco shall not clam that
responses to information and document requests provided pursuant to these
protocols are subject to any settlement privilege, in any subsequent FERC
proceeding addressing NY Transco’s Annual True-Up or Projected Net Revenue
Requirement.

d. Failure to pursue an issue through a Preliminary Challenges or to otherwise lodge

a Formal Challenge regarding any issue as to a given Annual Update only bars

pursuit of such issue with respect to that Annual Update, and in no event shall bar pursuit of such issue or the lodging of a Formal Challenge as to such issue as it relates to a subsequent Annual Update.

e. If a change made by NY Transco to its accounting policies, practices or

procedures, or their application to the Formula Rate, pursuant to Section 3(e)(iv)
of these Protocols is found by the FERC to be unjust, unreasonable, and/or unduly
discriminatory or preferential, then the calculation of the charges to be assessed


 

 

during the Rate Year then under review, and the charges to be assessed during any subsequent Rate Years, including any True-up Adjustments, shall not include such change, but shall include any lawful remedy that may be prescribed by
FERC to ensure that the Formula Rate continues to operate in a manner that is just, reasonable, and not unduly discriminatory or preferential.

 

Section 5. Resolution of Challenges

a. NY Transco shall appoint a senior representative to attempt to resolve any

 

Preliminary Challenge.  If NY Transco and any Interested Person have not

resolved any Preliminary Challenge to the Annual Update within sixty (60)

calendar days after the end of the Review Period (unless such period is extended
with the written consent of NY Transco to continue efforts to resolve the
Preliminary Challenge), such Interested Person may, within thirty (30) calendar
days thereafter, file a challenge with the FERC (“Formal Challenge”), which shall
be served on NY Transco by electronic service on the date of such filing.  Subject
to any applicable confidentiality and Critical Energy Infrastructure Information
restrictions, all information and correspondence produced by NY Transco
pursuant to these Protocols may be included in any Formal Challenge or other
FERC proceeding relating to the Formula Rate.  Failure to raise an issue in a
Preliminary Challenge shall not bar an Interested Person from raising that issue in
a Formal Challenge.

b. Any response by NY Transco to a Formal Challenge must be submitted to the

FERC within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the filing of the Formal


 

 

Challenge, and NY Transco shall serve on the filing party(ies) and the Service List by electronic service on the date of such filing.

c. In any proceeding concerning a given year’s Annual Update (including

corrections) or Accounting Change(s), NY Transco shall bear the burden,

 

consistent with Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, of proving that it has

correctly applied the terms of the Formula Rate consistent with these Protocols. Nothing herein is intended to alter the burdens applied by FERC with respect to prudence challenges.

d. Except as specifically provided herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit in

any way the right of NY Transco to file unilaterally, pursuant to Section 205 of
the FPA and the regulations thereunder, an application seeking changes to the
Formula Rate or to any of the stated value inputs requiring a Section 205 filing
under these Protocols (including, but not limited to, ROE, depreciation and
amortization rates, and PBOPs), or the right of any other party or the Commission
to seek such changes pursuant to Section 206 of the FPA and the regulations
thereunder.

e. NY Transco may, at its discretion and at a time of its choosing, make a limited

filing pursuant to Section 205 to modify stated values in the Formula Rate for
amortization and depreciation rates, or PBOP rates.  The sole issue in any such
limited Section 205 proceeding shall be whether such proposed change(s) is just
and reasonable, and it shall not address other aspects of the Formula Rate.


 

 

 

 

 

Section 6.Changes to Annual Updates

If NY Transco determines or concedes that corrections to the Annual Update are

 

required, whether under Sections 4 or 5 of these Protocols, including but not limited to those

requiring corrections to its FERC Form No. 1, or input data used for a Rate Year that would have
affected the Annual Update for that Rate Year, NY Transco shall promptly notify the Service
List, file a correction to the Annual Update with the FERC as an amended informational filing,
and cause such information to be posted at a publicly accessible location on the ISO internet
website.  Such corrections shall be subject to review at the time they are made and shall be
reflected in the next Annual Update, with interest.  A corrected posting shall reset the deadlines
under Section 4 and 5 of the Protocols for Interested Person review and the revised dates shall
run from the posting date(s) for each of the corrections. The scope of review shall be limited to
the aspects of the Formula Rate affected by the corrections.  Interest on any over- or under-
recovery due to corrections for preceding True-up Adjustments shall be calculated monthly on
such over- or under-recovery from January 1 of the corrected Rate Year through December 31 of
the Rate Year in which such over- or under-recovery is reflected (“Correction Period”).  The
applicable monthly interest rates for the Correction Period for an over-recovery shall be
determined in accordance with the Formula Rate true-up worksheet divided by twelve (12) for
each month from the beginning of the Correction Period through December 31 of the Rate Year
immediately preceding the Rate Year in which such over-recovery is reflected.  The applicable
monthly interest rates for the Correction Period for an under-recovery shall be the annual interest
rate determined in accordance 18 C.F.R § 35.19a divided by twelve (12) for each month from the
beginning of the Correction Period through December 31 of the Rate Year immediately
preceding the Rate Year in which such under-recovery is reflected.


 

 

 

 

 

Section 7.Construction Work in Progress

a.Accounting.  For each transmission project for which NY Transco has been

authorized by a Commission order to include Construction Work in Progress

(“CWIP”) in transmission rate base (“CWIP Project”), NY Transco shall use the following accounting procedures to ensure that it does not recover an Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (“AFUDC”) for such project.

(i) NY Transco shall assign each CWIP Project a unique Funding Project Number

 

(“FPN”) for internal cost tracking purposes.  For a CWIP Project for which the

NY Transco is recovering less than 100% of CWIP in rate base, two FPNs will be
assigned, one reflecting the CWIP balance in rate base and the other reflecting the
balancing accruing AFUDC.  NY Transco will assign FPNs in such a way that an
Interested Person can identify that the balances are associated with the same
project.

(ii) NY Transco shall record actual construction costs to each FPN through work

orders that are coded to correspond to the FPN for each CWIP Project.  Such
work orders shall be segregated from work orders for transmission projects for
which the Commission has not authorized NY Transco to include CWIP in rate
base.

(iii) For each CWIP Project for which NY Transco is allowed to include 100% of

CWIP in rate base, NY Transco shall ensure that no AFUDC will be accrued under the associated FPN.

(iv) For each CWIP Project, NY Transco shall prepare monthly work order summaries

of costs incurred under the associated FPN.  These summaries shall show monthly
additions to CWIP and plant in service and shall correspond to amounts recorded


 

 

in NY Transco’s FERC Form No. 1.  NY Transco shall use these summaries as data inputs into the Annual Update calculated pursuant to Section 3 and shall make such work order summaries available upon request pursuant to the review procedures of Section 4.

(v) When a CWIP Project is, or portion thereof, is placed into service, NY Transco

shall deduct from total CWIP the accumulated charges for work orders under the
FPN for that project, or portion thereof.  The purpose of this control process is to
ensure that expenditures are not double counted as both CWIP and as additions to
plant.

(vi) For transmission projects for which the Commission has not authorized NY

Transco to include CWIP in rate base, NY Transco shall record AFUDC to be applied to CWIP and capitalized when the project is placed into service.

b.Annual Reporting.  For each CWIP Project, NY Transco shall file a report with

the Commission at the time of NY Transco’s Annual Update that shall include the

following information concerning each such project:

 

(i)the actual amount of CWIP recorded for each project;

(ii)any amounts recorded in related FERC accounts or subaccounts, such as AFUDC

and regulatory liability;

(iii)the resulting effect of CWIP on the revenue requirement;

(iv)a statement of the current status of each project; and the estimated in-service date

for each project.

Schedule.2

The TFC shall be separate from the Transmission Service Charge (“TSC”) and the NYPA Transmission Adjustment Charge (“NTAC”) determined in accordance with Section 14 of
Attachment H of the ISO OATT, and any Reliability Facilities Charge (“RFC”) determined
pursuant to Section 6.10 of the ISO OATT.

In addition, NY Transco shall receive the outage charges described herein and shall not
be charged O/R-t-S Congestion Rent Shortfall Charges, U/D Congestion Rent Shortfall Charges,
O/R-t-S Auction Revenue Shortfall Charges or U/D Auction Revenue Shortfall Charges or be
paid O/R-t-S Congestion Rent Surplus Payments, U/D Congestion Rent Surplus Payments, O/R-
t-S Auction Revenue Surplus Payments or U/D Auction Revenue Surplus Payments under
Section 20.2.4 and Section 20.3.6 of the ISO OATT; and NY Transco shall receive Incremental
TCCs as described in Section 19.2.4 of the ISO OATT, but NY Transco shall not be a
“Transmission Owner” for purposes of Section 20.2.5 or Section 20.3.7 of the ISO OATT and
accordingly shall not receive an allocation of Net Congestion Rents under Section 20.2.5 of the
ISO OATT or Net Auction Revenues under Section 20.3.7 of the ISO OATT.

 

6.13.2Revenue Requirement for TFC

The TFC shall be calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 6.13.3
using the revenue requirement of NY Transco necessary to recover the costs of an Approved
NYTP.  The revenue requirement to be used in the calculation of the TFC is described in Section

6.13.4.  The costs that may be included in the revenue requirement include all reasonably
incurred costs related to the preparation of proposals for, and the development, financing,

 

 

2 Capitalized terms used in this Schedule that are not defined in this Schedule shall have the same meaning set forth in Section 31.1.1 of Attachment Y of the ISO OATT.


 

 

construction, operation, and maintenance of, an Approved NYTP, including, but not limited to, a reasonable return on investment and any incentives for the construction of transmission projects approved under Section 205 or Section 219 of the Federal Power Act and the Commission’s regulations implementing those sections, as determined by the Commission.

 

6.13.3 Calculation and Recovery of TFC and Payment of Recovered Revenue

The ISO will calculate and bill the TFC for each Approved NYTP in accordance with this
Section 6.13.3.  The ISO shall collect the TFC from the LSEs.  The LSEs, including
Transmission Owners, competitive LSEs, and municipal systems, serving Load located in
Transmission Districts to which the costs of the Approved NYTP have been allocated (each a
“Responsible LSE” or a “NYPA Responsible LSE”) shall pay the TFC.  The costs of each
Approved NYTP shall be allocated as set forth in the appropriate allocation table in Section 36.2
of Attachment 1 to Attachment DD; provided, however, that the portion of the costs of the
Approved NYTP allocated to Responsible LSEs located in the NYPA North Subzone shall be
calculated as part of the allocation percentage for Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a
National Grid set forth in Section 36.2.

6.13.3.1 The revenue requirement filed pursuant to this Schedule by NY Transco

will be the basis for the TFC Rate ($/MWh) for the Billing Period that shall be
charged by the ISO to each Responsible LSE based on its Actual Energy
Withdrawals as set forth in Section 6.13.3.4.  The revenue requirement of the NY
Transco will be calculated according to the formula rate set forth in Section

36.3.1. of Attachment DD of the ISO OATT.

6.13.3.2 NY Transco shall in relation to any Approved NYTP reasonably exercise

 

its right to obtain and maintain in effect all Incremental TCCs, including


 

 

temporary Incremental TCCs, to which it has rights under Section 19.2.4 of the
ISO OATT and shall take the actions required to do so in accordance with the
procedures specified therein.  Notwithstanding Section 19.2.4.7 and 19.2.4.8 of

the ISO OATT, Incremental TCCs created and awarded to NY Transco as a result
of implementation of an Approved NYTP shall not be eligible for sale in
Secondary Markets.  Incremental TCCs that may be created and awarded to NY
Transco as a result of the implementation of an Approved NYTP, shall be offered
by the ISO in all rounds of the six month Sub-Auction of each Centralized TCC
Auction conducted by the ISO.  The ISO shall disburse the associated auction
revenues to NY Transco.  The total amount of the auction revenues disbursed to
the NY Transco pursuant to this Section 6.13.3.2 shall be used in the calculation
of the TFC Rate, as set forth in Section 6.13.3.4.  Incremental TCCs associated
with an Approved NYTP shall continue to be offered for the duration of the
Incremental TCCs, established pursuant to the terms of Attachment M.
The revenue offset discussed in this Section 6.13.3.2 shall commence upon the first payment of revenues related to Incremental TCCs associated with the implementation of an Approved NYTP on or after the date the TFC is
implemented.  The TFC and the revenue offset related to Incremental TCCs
associated with the implementation of an Approved NYTP shall not require and
shall not be dependent upon a reopening or review of NY Transco’s revenue
requirements for an RFC pursuant to Section 6.10 of the ISO OATT.

6.13.3.2.1 Outage Charges related to Incremental TCCs.  Outage charges developed

 

pursuant to the provisions of OATT Section 19 applicable to Expanders (as that


 

 

term is defined in OATT Section 19) not subject to OATT Section 20.2.5, shall be payable to the ISO for any hour in the Day-Ahead Market during which an
Expansion, associated with an Approved NYTP, is modeled to be wholly or
partially out of service.

6.13.3.3 The billing units for the TFC Rate for the Billing Period shall be based on

the Actual Energy Withdrawals available for the prior current Billing Period for those Transmission Districts allocated the costs of the Approved NYTP in
accordance with Attachment DD of the ISO OATT.

 

6.13.3.4   Cost Recovery Methodology

6.13.3.4.1 Cost Recovery Methodology for All Responsible LSEs Except NYPA
The ISO shall calculate the TFC for each Rresponsible LSE except NYPA as follows:

 

Step 1:    Calculate the $ assigned to each Transmission District

 

 

TFCt,B = � ��AnnualRRp,B − Incremental TCC Revenuep,B  +  Outage Cost Adjustmentp,B

p∈P

× �TransmissionDistrictCostAllocationt,p��

 

 

Step 2:    Calculate a per-MWh Rate for each Transmission District

 

 

TFCRatet,B = TFCt,B⁄ MWht,B

 

 

Step 3:    Calculate charge for each Billing Period for each Responsible LSE in
each Transmission District

 

 

ChargeB,l,t = TFCRatet,B × MWhl,t,B


 

 

 

 

 

Step 4:    Calculate charge for each Billing Period for each Responsible LSE across
all Transmission Districts

 

 

ChargeB,l = ��ChargeB,l,t

t∈T

Where,

l = the relevant Responsible LSE; P = set of projects;

T = set of ISO Transmission Districts;
t = an individual Transmission District
B = the relevant Billing Period;

MWht, B =  Actual Energy Withdrawals in Transmission District t excluding NYPA Responsible LSEs aggregated across all hours in Billing Period B;

 

MWhl,t,B= Actual Energy Withdrawals for Responsible LSE l in Transmission District t aggregated across all hours in Billing Period B;

 

Annual RRp,B = the pro rata share of the annual revenue requirement for each project p as discussed in Section 6.13.2 above allocated for Billing Period B;

Incremental TCC Revenuep,B = the auction revenue derived from the sale of Incremental TCCs
plus Incremental TCC payments received by NY Transco pursuant to Section 20.2.3 of the ISO
OATT for each project p as discussed in Section 6.13.3.2 above allocated for Billing Period B.
The revenues from the sale of Incremental TCCs in the ISO’s six month Sub-Auctions of each
Centralized TCC Auction shall be allocated uniformly across all hours of the Billing Period;

 

Outage Cost Adjustmentp,B = the Outage Charges determined pursuant to OATT Section

6.13.3.2.1 for any hour in the Day-Ahead Market during which the project p is modeled to be wholly or partially out of service aggregated across all hours in Billing Period B;

Transmission District Cost Allocationt,p = the proportion of the cost of project p allocated to Transmission District t, as set forth in Section 36.2 of Attachment 1 to Attachment DD; provided, however, that the proportion of the cost of project p allocated to the NYPA North Subzone shall be included in the percentage for Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid set forth in Section 36.2.


 

 

 

 

 

6.13.3.4.2Cost Recovery Methodology for NYPA Responsible LSEs

The ISO shall calculate the TFC for each NYPA responsible LSE as follows:

 

Step 1:    Calculate the $ assigned to NYPA Responsible LSEs

 

 

TFCN,B = � ��AnnualRRp,B − Incremental TCC Revenuep,B + Outage Costs Adjustmentp,B

p∈P

× �NYPACostAllocationN,p��

 

 

Step 2:    Calculate a per-MWh Rate for NYPA Responsible LSEs

 

 

TFCRateN,B = TFCN,B⁄ MWhN,B

 

Step 3:    Calculate charge for each Billing Period for each NYPA Responsible LSE

 

 

ChargeB,,n = TFCRateN,B × MWhn,B

 

Where,

n = the relevant NYPA Responsible LSE; N= the set of NYPA Responsible LSEs; P = set of projects;

B = the relevant Billing Period;

MWhn, B =  Actual Energy Withdrawals for each NYPA Responsible LSE n aggregated across all hours in Billing Period B ;

 

MWh N, B= Actual Energy Withdrawals for all NYPA Responsible LSEs N aggregated across all hours in Billing Period B;

 

Annual RRp,B = the annual revenue requirement for each project p as discussed in Section 6.13.2 above allocated for Billing Period B;

Incremental TCC Revenuep,B = the auction revenue derived from the sale of Incremental TCCs
plus Incremental TCC payments received by NY Transco pursuant to Section 20.2.3 of the ISO
OATT for each project p as discussed in Section 6.13.3.2 above allocated for Billing Period B.


 

 

 

 

 

The revenues from the sale of Incremental TCCs in the ISO’s six month Sub-Auctions of each
Centralized TCC Auction shall be allocated uniformly across all hours of the Billing Period;

 

Outage Cost Adjustmentp,B = the Outage Charges determined pursuant to OATT Section

6.13.3.2.1 for any hour in the Day-Ahead Market during which the project p is modeled to be wholly or partially out of service aggregated across all hours in Billing Period B;

 

NYPA Cost AllocationN,p = the proportion of the cost of project p allocated to all NYPA
Responsible LSEs N,  as set forth in Section 36.2 of Attachment 1 to Attachment DD.

6.13.3.5 For the initial Rate Year 2016, the ISO may begin billing and collecting

 

NY Transco’s projected TFC subsequent to January 1, 2016; however, once

billing commences in 2016, the ISO shall bill and collect NY Transco’s projected TFC in equal installments for each Billing Period over the balance of 2016.

6.13.3.6The ISO will collect the appropriate TFC revenues each Billing Period and

remit those revenues to NY Transco in accordance with the ISO’s billing and

 

settlement procedures.

 

6.13.4Recovery of Costs Incurred by NY Transco

6.13.4.1The TFC shall be used as the cost recovery mechanism for the recovery of

the costs of an Approved NYTP that is proposed, developed, or constructed by NY Transco under applicable federal, state and local law and authorized by the Commission to recover costs under this rate mechanism; provided, however,
nothing in this cost recovery mechanism shall be deemed to create any additional rights for NY Transco to proceed with a regulated transmission project that NY Transco does not otherwise have at law.

6.13.4.2 The period for cost recovery will be determined by the Commission and

will begin if and when the Approved NYTP is completed, or as otherwise

 

determined by the Commission.  NY Transco and/or the ISO, as applicable, will


 

 

make a filing with the Commission to provide for its review and approval or
acceptance, as appropriate, of the final project cost and resulting revenue
requirement to be recovered through the TFC, which shall be reproduced in the form of Section 36.3 of Attachment 2 to Attachment DD of the ISO OATT.  The filing may include all reasonably incurred costs related to NY Transco’s
undertaking an Approved NYTP as specified in Section 6.13.2 of this Schedule. NY Transco shall bear the burden of resolving all concerns about the contents of the filing that might be raised in such proceeding.

General Note:  References  to pages in this formulary rate are indicated as:(page#, line#, col.#)

References  to data from FERC Form 1 are indicated as:#.y.x(page, line, column)

Note

Letter

AThe balances in Accounts 190, 281, 282 and 283, as adjusted by any amounts in contra accounts identified as regulatory  assets or liabilities related

to FASB 106 or 109.  The formula uses the stated average of the beginning and end of year balances to prorate ADIT to comply with IRS normalization rules.  Balance of Account 255

is reduced by prior flow throughs and excluded if the utility chose to utilize amortization  of tax credits against taxable income as discussed in Note F.  Account 281 is not allocated.

BIdentified in Form 1 as being only transmission  related.

C     Cash Working Capital assigned to transmission  is one-eighth of O&M allocated to transmission

Prepayments  are the electric related prepayments  booked to Account No. 165 and reported on Pages 110-111 line 57 in the Form 1.

D     Line 42 removes EPRI Annual Membership  Dues listed in Form 1 at 353._.f (enter FN1 line #),

any  EPRI Lobbying expenses included in line 42 of the template and all Regulatory  Commission  Expenses  itemized at 351.h

Line 42 removes all advertising   included in Account 930.1, except safety, education or out-reach related advertising

Line 42 removes all EEI and EPRI research, development and demonstration expenses and NY Transco will not participate  in EEI or EPRI.

Line 43 reflects all Regulatory Commission  Expenses directly related to transmission  service, RTO filings, or transmission  siting itemized at 351.h
Line 38 or Line 41 and thus Line 45 shall include any NYISO charges other than penalties, including but not limited to administrative  costs.
E Includes only FICA, unemployment, highway, property, gross receipts, and other assessments charged in the current year.
Taxes related to income are excluded.   Gross receipts taxes are not included in transmission revenue requirement  in the Rate Formula Template,
since they are recovered elsewhere.

F The currently effective income tax rate,  where FIT is the Federal income tax rate; SIT is the State income tax rate, and p =

"the percentage of federal income tax deductible for state income taxes".  If the utility is taxed in more than one state it must attach a
work paper showing the name of each state and how the blended or composite SIT was developed.  Furthermore,  a utility that elected
to utilize amortization  of tax credits against taxable income, rather than book tax credits to Account No. 255 and reduce
rate base.

multiplied by (1/1-T) .


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inputs Required:FIT =-

SIT=-(State Income Tax Rate or Composite SIT from Attach 3)

p =-(percent of federal income tax deductible for state purposes)

n=-(not for profit entity ownership  percentage)

For each Rate Year (including both Annual Projections and True-Up Adjustments)  the statutory income tax rates utilized in the Formula Rate shall reflect the weighted average rates

actually in effect during the Rate Year.  For example, if the statutory tax rate is 10% from January 1 through June 30, and 5% from July 1 through December 31, such rates would be weighted 181/365 and 184/365, respectively,  for a non-leap year.

G     The cost of debt is determined  using the internal rate of return methodology shown on Attachment  5 once project financing is obtained.  Prior to obtaining project financing,

an interest rate of 3.28 3.85% from Table 4 of Attachment 5 will be used and will not be trued up.  Attachment 5 contains an estimate of the internal rate of return methodology;  the methodology will be applied to actual amounts for use in Appendix A.

After the completion of construction,  the  cost of debt will be calculated pursuant to Attachment 3

H     Removes dollar amount of transmission  plant included in the development  of OATT ancillary services rates and generation
step-up facilities, which are deemed to included in OATT ancillary services.  For these purposes, generation  step-up
facilities are those facilities at a generator substation  on which there is no through-flow  when the generator is shut down.

IEnter dollar amounts

JROE will be supported in the original filing and no change in ROE may be made absent a filing with FERC under FPA Section 205 or 206.

The capital structure will be the actual capital structure up to 53% equity.  Lines 93 will be capped at 53%  equity. If the actual equity ratio exceeds 53% , the common stock ratio will be reset to 53% and

the debt ratio will be equal to 1 minus sum of the preferred stock ratio and common stock ratio.

KUnamortized Abandoned  Plant and Amortization  of Abandoned  Plant will be zero until the Commission  accepts or approves recovery of the cost of abandoned  plant.  Company must submit a Section 205 filing

to recover the cost of abandoned  plant.  Any such filing to recover the cost of an abandoned  plant item shall be made no later than 180 days after the date that Company formally declares such plant item

abandoned.

L Unamortized  Regulatory Assets, consisting of all expenses incurred but not included in CWIP prior to the date the rate is charged to customers, is included at line 28

Carrying costs equal to the weighted cost of capital on the balance of the regulatory asset will accrue until the rate is charged to customers M     Balances exclude Asset Retirement  Costs

N     Non-incentive investments  are investments  without ROE incentives  and incentive investments  are investments  with ROE incentives

Assumes financing will be a 5 year loan with Origination Fees of $2.1 million and a Commitments Fee of 0.3% on the undrawn principal.

Consistent with GAAP, the Origination Fees and Commitments Fees will be amortized using the standard Internal Rate of Return formula below.

Each year, the amounts withdrawn, the interest paid in the year, Origination Fees, Commitments Fees, and total loan amount will be updated on this attachment.

Notes  1 The IRR is the input to Debt Cost shown on Appendix A, Page 4, Line 91 during the construction period, after obtaining project financing, in accordance with Note G of Appendix A.

2. The IRR is a discount rate that makes the net present value of a series of cash flows equal to zero. The IRR equation is shown on line 4.

N is the last quarter the loan would be outstanding

t is each quarter

Ct is the cash flow (Table 5, Col. I in each quarter)

Alternatively the equation can be written as 0 = C0 + C1/(1+IRR) + C2/(1+IRR)2 + C3/(1+IRR)3 + . . . +Cn/(1+IRR)n and solved for IRR

The Excel ™ formula on line 2 is : (round(XIRR(first quarter of loan Col A of Table 5:last quarter of loan Col A of Table 5, first quarter of loan Col I of Table 5: last quarter of loan Col I of Table 5, 8%),4)) The 8% in the above formula is a seed number to ensure the formula produces a positive number.

3. Line 1 reflects the loan amount, the maximum amount that can be drawn on

4. Lines 5 through 13 include the fees associated with the loan. They are estimated based on current bank condition and are updated with the actual fees once the actual fees are known.

5. The estimate of the average 3 month Libor forward rate for the year on line 14 is that published by Bloomberg Finance L.P. during August of the prior year and is trued-up to actual
average 3 month Libor rate for the year under the loan.

6. Table 5, Col. C reflect the capital expenditures in each quarter

7. Table 5, Col. D reflect the amount of the loan that is drawn down in the quarter

8. Table 5, Col. E is the amount of principle drawn down

9. Table 5, Col F calculates the interest on the principle drawn down to date based on the applicable interest on line 16

10. Table 5, Col. G is the total origination fees in line 10 and is input in the first quarter that a portion of the loan in drawn

11. Table 5, Col. H is calculated as follows:

(line 1/1000 less Col. E prior quarter)*line 13/4 +line 12/4000+line 11/4000

Where A = Loan amount in line 1 less the amount drawn down (Table 5, Col. (E)) in the prior quarter

12. The inputs shall be estimated based on the current market conditions and is subject to true up for all inputs , e.g., fees, interest rates, spread, and Table 3 once the
amounts are known

13. Prior to obtaining long term debt, the cost of debt, will be 3.28%. If NY Transco obtains project financing, the long term debt rate will be determined using the methodology in Attachment 5 and Attachment 5 contains a

hypothetical example of the internal rate of return methodology; the methodology will be applied to actual amounts for use in Attachment A. After the first project is placed into service, NY Transco will use the its actual cost of long term debt determined in Attachment 3.   The capital structure will be the actual capital structure up to 53% equity.

Transmission facility Contributions in Aid of ConstructionNote 1

 

These depreciation and amortization rates will not change absent the appropriate filing at FERC.

 

Note 1:  In the event a Contribution in Aid of Construction (CIAC) is made for a transmission facility, the transmission
depreciation rates above will be weighted based on the relative amount of underlying plant booked to the accounts
shown in lines 1-7 above and the weighted average depreciation rate will be used to amortize the CIAC.
Once determined for a particular CIAC, the rate will not change for that CIAC absent Commission approval.

36.3.1.2   Formula Rate Implementation Protocols

The formula rate template (“Template”) and these Formula Rate Implementation

Protocols (“Protocols”) together comprise the filed rate (“Formula Rate”) of NY Transco for
transmission revenue requirement determinations under the ISO OATT.  NY Transco shall
follow the instructions specified in the Formula Rate to calculate annually its Net Adjusted
Revenue Requirement, as set forth at page 1, line 5 of the Template (“Net Adjusted Revenue
Requirement”).  The Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement shall be determined for January 1 to
December 31 of a given calendar year (the “Rate Year”).  The Formula Rate shall become

effective for recovery of NY Transco’s Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement upon the effective
date for incorporation into the ISO OATT through an appropriate filing with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or “Commission”) under Section 205 of the Federal Power
Act (“FPA”).

 

Section 1.Annual Projection

a.No later than September 30 preceding the first Rate Year, and each subsequent

Rate Year, NY Transco shall determine its projected Net Adjusted Revenue
Requirement for the upcoming Rate Year in accordance with NY Transco’s
Formula Rate (“Annual Projection”).  The Annual Projection shall include the
True-up Adjustment described and defined in Section 2 below, if applicable.  NY
Transco shall cause an electronic version of the Annual Projection to be posted in
both a Portable Document Format and fully-functioning Excel file fully populated
with formulas intact at a publicly accessible location on ISO’s internet website.
Such posting shall include (i) all inputs in sufficient detail to identify the
components of NY Transco’s projected Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement, and


 

 

(ii) explanations of the bases for the projections and input data to demonstrate that each input to the formula rate is consistent with the requirements of the formula rate.  If the date for making such posting of the Annual Projection should fall on a weekend or a holiday recognized by FERC, then the posting shall be made no later than the next business day.  NY Transco shall electronically serve each
Annual Projection upon the Service List.2

b. If NY Transco makes changes in the Annual Projection for a given Rate Year, NY

Transco shall cause such revised Annual Projection to be promptly posted at a publicly accessible location on the ISO internet website and shall electronically serve a link to the website upon the Service List.  Changes posted prior to
November 30October 31 of the preceding Rate Year, or the next business day if November 30October 31 is not a business day (or such later date as can be
accommodated under the ISO’s billing practices), shall be reflected in the Annual Projection for the Rate Year; changes posted after that date will be reflected, as appropriate, in the True-up Adjustment for the Rate Year.

c. The Annual Projection, including the True-Up Adjustment, for each Rate Year

shall be subject to review, challenge, true-up and refunds or surcharges with interest, to the extent and in the manner provided in these Protocols.

 

Section 2.True-up Adjustment

NY Transco will calculate the amount of under- or over-collection of its actual Net

 

 

 

2 As used in these protocols, “Service List” shall include but not be limited to (i) the email list of ISO OATT Transmission Customers maintained by the ISO; (ii) any state regulatory agency with rate jurisdiction over a public utility located within the ISO  footprint; and (iii) any consumer advocate agency authorized by state law to review and contest the rates for any such public utility, provided such consumer advocate agency requests to be placed on the Service List and provides an e-mail address to NY Transco.


 

 

Revenue Requirement, as set forth at page 1, line 3 of the Template during the preceding Rate Year (“True-up Adjustment”) after the FERC Form No. 1 data for that Rate Year has been filed with the Commission.  The True-up Adjustment shall be the sum of components a and b,
determined in the following manner:

a. NY Transco’s projected Net Revenue Requirement collected during the previous

Rate Year3 will be compared to NY Transco’s actual Net Revenue Requirement
for the previous Rate Year calculated in accordance with NY Transco’s Formula
Rate and based upon (i) NY Transco’s FERC Form No. 1 for that same Rate
Year, (ii) any FERC orders specifically applicable to NY Transco’s calculation of
its annual revenue requirement, (iii) the books and records of NY Transco (which
shall be maintained consistent with the FERC Uniform System of Accounts
(“USofA”)), (iv) FERC accounting policies and practices applicable to the
calculation of annual revenue requirements under formula rates, and (v) any
aspects of the ISO OATT and other governing documents that apply to the
calculation of annual revenue requirements under individual transmission owner
formula rates, to determine any over- or under-recovery (“True-up Adjustment
Over/Under Recovery”).  NY Transco will include a variance analysis of, at
minimum, actual revenue requirement components of rate base, operating and
maintenance expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, taxes, return on
rate base, and revenue credits as compared to the corresponding components in

 

 

3 If the initial year of this rate schedule is a partial year, the initial projected Net Revenue Requirement will be divided by the number of months the Formula Rate is in effect to calculate the monthly projected cost of service to be collected each month of the first year.  Similarly, the actual Net Revenue Requirement will be divided by the number of months the rate is in effect to calculate the actual cost of service to be collected each month of the first year.  The first True-up Adjustment will compare the projected Net Revenue Requirement billed and the actual Net Revenue Requirement for that initial Rate Year.


 

 

the projected revenue requirement that was calculated for the prior Rate Year with an explanation of all material changes.

b.Interest on any True-up Adjustment Over/Under Recovery of the actual Net

Revenue Requirement shall be calculated in accordance with the Formula Rate

true-up worksheetAttachment 7a.

 

 

Section 3.Annual Update

a.On or before June 30 following each Rate Year, NY Transco shall calculate its

actual Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement, including the True-up Adjustment as described in Section 2 (“Annual Update”) for such Rate Year, and shall cause
such Annual Update to be posted, in both a Portable Document Format and fullyfunctioning Excel format containing the populated template with formula intact for that year’s update, at a publicly accessible location on the ISO internet
website, and electronically serve a link to the website upon the Service List.   In addition, the Annual Update shall be contemporaneously submitted as an
informational filing with the FERC.

b.If the date for making the Annual Update posting should fall on a weekend or a

holiday recognized by the FERC, then the posting shall be due on the next

business day.

c. The date on which the last of the events listed in Section 3.a or 3.b occurs shall be

that year’s “Publication Date.”  Any delay past the date on which the last of the events listed in Section 3.a or 3.b occurs shall result in an equivalent extension of time for the submission of information requests and challenges, as described in Sections 4 and 5 below.


 

 

 

 

 

d.Together with the posting of the Annual Update, NY Transco shall cause to be

posted on the ISO website the time, date and location for a stakeholder meeting
with including but not limited to (i) any Eligible Customer under the ISO OATT;
(ii) any regulatory agency with rate jurisdiction over a public utility located within
the ISO footprint; (iii) any consumer advocate authorized by state law to review
and contest the rates for any such public utility, or (iv) any party with standing
under FPA Section 205 or 206 (collectively, "Interested Persons") in order for NY
Transco to explain its Annual Update and to provide Interested Persons an
opportunity to seek information and clarifications regarding the Annual Update
(“Stakeholder Meeting”).  NY Transco shall accommodate interested parties that
wish to participate in the Stakeholder Meeting via teleconference or webinar.  The
Stakeholder Meeting shall be held no less than twenty (20) business days and no
more than thirty (30) business days after June 30.

e.The Annual Update for the Rate Year:

(i)Shall provide, via the Formula Rate worksheets, sufficiently detailed supporting

documentation for data (and all adjustments thereto or allocations thereof) used in
the Formula Rate that are not stated in the FERC Form No. 1 to enable any
interested party to replicate the calculation of the Formula Rate;.4
(ii) Shall provide supporting documentation and workpapers for the data used in the
Annual Update that are not otherwise available in the FERC Form No. 1,

 

4 It is the intent of the Formula Rate, including the supporting explanations and allocations described therein, that
each input to the Formula Rate for purposes of determining the actual Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement for a
given Rate Year will be either taken directly from the FERC Form No. 1 or reconcilable to the FERC Form No. 1 by
the application of clearly identified and supported information.  If the referenced from is superseded, the successor
form(s) shall be utilized and supplemented as necessary to provide equivalent information as that provided in the
superseded form.  If the referenced form is discontinued, equivalent information as that provided in the discontinue
form shall be utilized.


 

 

including all adjustments made to the FERC Form No. 1 data in determining formula inputs.

(iii) Shall include a variance analysis of, at minimum, actual revenue requirement

components of rate base, operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation and
amortization expense, taxes, return on rate base, and revenue credits as compared
to the corresponding components in the projected revenue requirement that was

calculated for the prior Annual Update with an explanation of changes.

 

(iv) Shall provide notice and a narrative summary of all changes in NY Transco’s

accounting policies and practices from those in effect for the calendar year upon
which the immediately preceding Annual Update was based that affect the
Formula Rate or calculation of the Annual Update (“Accounting Change(s)”).
Accounting Changes may, among other things, include:  (1) the initial
implementation of an accounting standard or policy, (2) the initial implementation
of accounting practices for unusual or unconventional items where FERC has not
provided specific accounting direction, (3) corrections of errors mistakes and
prior period adjustments,5 (4) the implementation of new estimation methods or
policies that change prior estimates, and (5) changes to income tax elections.
Such notice shall also include (1) those changes that, in NY Transco’s reasonable
judgment, could impact the Formula Rate or the calculations under the Formula
Rate within the next three years; and (2) any changes in the ISO OATT from the
provisions of the ISO OATT in effect during the calendar year upon which the

 

5 For purposes of these Protocols, “mistakes” shall mean errors or omissions regarding the values inputted into the
Formula Rate template, such as, but not limited to, arithmetic and other inadvertent computational errors, erroneous
Form No. 1 references, or the like.  Mistakes shall not include matters involving exercise of judgment or substantive
differences of opinion regarding the derivation of an input that is more properly the subject of the annual review
process.


 

 

 

 

 

most recent Net Revenue Requirement was based and that, in NY Transco’s

reasonable judgment, could impact the Formula Rate or the calculations under the Formula Rate within the next three years.

(viii) Shall be subject to review and challenge in accordance with the procedures set

 

forth in Sections 4, 5, and 6 of these Protocols.

(viiv) Shall be subject to review and challenge in accordance with the procedures set

forth in these Protocols with respect to the prudence of any costs and expenditures included for recovery in the Annual Update; provided, however, that nothing in these Protocols is intended to modify the Commission’s applicable precedent with respect to the burden of going forward or burden of proof under formula rates in such prudence challenges; and

(vii) Shall not seek to modify the Formula Rate and shall not be subject to challenge by

 

any Interested Person seeking to modify the Formula Rate. (i.e., any

modifications to the Formula Rate will require, as applicable, an FPA Section 205 or Section 206 filing or initiation of a Section 206 investigation).

(viii) Shall provide support for any deferred income tax account balances, including any

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Nos. 106 and 109 Adjustments.
(ix) Shall identify and provide support for any costs and expenses related to any
merger or acquisition of a jurisdictional facility (including, but not limited to,
acquisition premiums and goodwill) that have been included in the Annual
Update, including a citation to the FERC order approving the recovery of such
costs and expenses; otherwise, any such costs that have been reported in the


 

 

FERC Form No. 1 must be deducted from the costs to be recovered in the Annual
Update.

(x) Shall identify any asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) included in the Annual

Update, including a citation to the FERC order approving recovery of the ARO; otherwise, any such items reported in the FERC Form No. 1 must be deducted from the costs to be recovered in the Annual Update.

(xi) Shall identify the specific amounts included in the annual Update related to each

transmission incentive project, a citation to the proceeding in which FERC
granted the incentive, and provide a derivation of the value for each project.  (xii) Shall include a worksheet listing all the errors and corrections agreed to by NY
Transco and any interested parties, or ordered by FERC, related to the previous
Rate Year that have been incorporated into the current Annual Update.

f. The following Formula Rate inputs shall be stated values to be used in the

Formula Rate until changed pursuant to an FPA Section 205 or 206 proceeding:

(i) rate of return on common equity (“ROE”); (ii) “Post-Employment Benefits
other than Pensions” pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions (“PBOP”) charges; and (iii) the depreciation and/or amortization rates as
set forth in Attachment 9 to the Formula Rate template.  No changes may be made
to the ROE, capital structure, PBOP expenses, or depreciation and/or amortization
rates absent a filing under Sections 205 or 206 of the Federal Power Act.

g.Example - Timeline for 2015 Annual Update:


 

 

 

 

 

On or before September 30, 2013 of the first year, NY Transco will

 

determine the projected Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement for the 2014 Rate

Ysecond year, which is expected to be the first year that costs are recovered from
ISO customers under the Formula Rate.  NY Transco will post the Annual
Projection for the 2014 second Rate Year in accordance with Section 1 above.
NY Transco will not determine a True-up Adjustment or post an Annual Update
on August 1, 2014 of the second year if no costs have been recovered under the
Formula Rate during 2013the first year.  On or before September 30 of the second
year, 2014, NY Transco will post the Annual Projection for the 2015 third Rate
Year.  On or before August 1, 2015 of the third year, NY Transco will post its
first Annual Update, consisting of the True-up Adjustment for the 2014 second
Rate Year determined pursuant to Section 2 above.  Such True-up Adjustment
will be reflected in the Annual Projection of the Net Adjusted Revenue
Requirement for the 2016 fourth Rate Year posted on or before September 30,
2015 of the third year.  The Annual Update posted August 1, 2015 of the third
year will be subject to the customer review and challenge procedures described in
Sections 4, 5, and 6 of these Protocols.

 

Section 4.Annual Review Procedures

Each Annual Update shall be subject to the following review procedures (“Annual Review Procedures”):

a. Interested Persons shall have up to the latest of one hundred fifty (150) calendar

days after the Publication Date, thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of all responses to timely submitted information requests (unless such period is


 

 

extended with the written consent of NY Transco), or thirty (30) calendar days
after resolution of a dispute that does not result in the production of additional
information (“Review Period”), to review the calculations and to notify NY
Transco in writing of any specific challenges, including but not limited to
challenges related to Accounting Changes and, to the Annual Update
(“Preliminary Challenge”).  Interested persons may challenge through a
Preliminary Challenge or a Formal Challenge: (1) whether NY Transco has
properly calculated the Annual Update under review (including any corrections
pursuant to Section 6); (ii) whether the costs included in the Annual Update are
properly recordable and recorded, prudent, reasonable, and incurred according to
appropriate procurement methods and cost control methodologies and otherwise
consistent with NY Transco’s accounting policies, practices and procedures
consistent with the USofA; (iii) whether the input data used in the Annual Update
are accurate and correctly used in the Formula Rate; (iv) the effect of Accounting
Changes; and (v) whether the Formula Rate has been applied according to its
terms, including the procedures in these Protocols.  NY Transco shall promptly
cause to be posted all Preliminary Challenges at a publicly accessible location on
the ISO internet website and a link to the website will be electronically served
upon the Service List.  Any Formal Challenges are to be filed in the NY Transco’s
informational filing dockets.

NY Transco shall respond in writing to a Preliminary Challenge within

twenty (20) business days of receipt, and its response shall notify the challenging
party of the extent to which NY Transco agrees or disagrees with the challenge.


 

 

 

 

 

If NY Transco disagrees with the Preliminary Challenge, its response shall

include supporting documentation.  NY Transco shall promptly cause to be posted
responses to all Preliminary Challenges at a publicly accessible location on the
ISO internet website and a link to the website will be electronically served upon
the Service List.

b. Interested Persons shall have up to one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after

 

each annual Publication Date (unless such period is extended with the written

consent of NY Transco) to serve reasonable information requests on NY Transco.
Information requests shall be limited to what is necessary to determine if: (i) NY
Transco has properly calculated the Annual Update under review (including any
corrections pursuant to Section 6); (ii) the costs included in the Annual Update are
properly recordable and recorded, reasonable, prudently incurred, and incurred
according to appropriate procurement methods and cost control methodologies

and otherwise consistent with NY Transco’s accounting policies, practices and
procedures consistent with the USofA; (iii) the input data used in the Annual
Update are accurate and correctly used in the Formula Rate; and (iv) the effect of
Accounting Changes; (v) the Formula Rate has been applied according to its
terms, including the procedures in these Protocols; and (vi) any other information
that may reasonably have substantive effect on the calculation of the revenue
requirement pursuant to the Formula RateInformation requests shall not solicit
information concerning costs or allocations where the costs or allocation methods
have been determined to be appropriate by FERC in the context of prior NY
Transco Annual Updates, except that such information requests shall be permitted


 

 

if they (i) seek to determine if there has been a change in circumstances, (ii) are in
connection with corrections pursuant to Section 6, or (iii) relate to costs or
allocations that have not previously been challenged and adjudicated by FERC.

NY Transco shall cause any information requests received to be posted at a

publicly accessible location on the ISO internet website and shall electronically
serve a link to the website upon the Service List.  The information and document requests shall not otherwise be directed to ascertaining whether the formula rate is just and reasonable.

c. NY Transco shall make a good faith effort to respond to information requests

pertaining to the Annual Update within ten (10) business days of receipt of such
requests.  In the event an information request is not provided within 10 business
days, the parties will mutually agree on an extension of the Review Period.

To the extent NY Transco and any Interested Person(s) are unable to

resolve disputes related to information requests submitted in accordance with

 

these Annual Review Procedures, NY Transco or any Interested Person may

petition the FERC to appoint an Administrative Law Judge as a discovery master
to resolve the discovery dispute(s) in accordance with these Protocols and
consistent with the FERC’s discovery rules.  NY Transco shall not clam that
responses to information and document requests provided pursuant to these
protocols are subject to any settlement privilege, in any subsequent FERC
proceeding addressing NY Transco’s Annual True-Up or Projected Net Revenue
Requirement.


 

 

 

 

 

d.Failure to pursue an issue through a Preliminary Challenges, or to otherwise lodge

a Formal Challenges regarding any issue as to a given Annual Update only bars
pursuit of such issue with respect to that Annual Update, and in no event shall bar
pursuit of such issue or the lodging of a Formal Challenge as to such issue as it
relates to a subsequent Annual Updateas described in Section 5 below, related to
Accounting Changes shall be treated in the same manner under these Protocols as
other challenges to the Annual Update.  Failure to make a Preliminary Challenge
with respect to an Accounting Change in an Annual Update shall not act as a bar
with respect to a Formal Challenge with respect to that Annual Update, nor shall
such failure bar a subsequent Preliminary Challenge related to a subsequent

Annual Update to the extent such Accounting Change affects the subsequent Annual Update.

e. If a change made by NY Transco to its accounting policies, practices or

procedures, or their application to the Formula Rate, pursuant to Section 3(e)(ivi)
of these Protocols is found by the FERC to be unjust, unreasonable, and/or unduly
discriminatory or preferential, then the calculation of the charges to be assessed
during the Rate Year then under review, and the charges to be assessed during any
subsequent Rate Years, including any True-up Adjustments, shall not include
such change, but shall include any lawful remedy that may be prescribed by
FERC to ensure that the Formula Rate continues to operate in a manner that is
just, reasonable, and not unduly discriminatory or preferential.


 

 

 

 

 

Section 5.Resolution of Challenges

a.NY Transco shall appoint a senior representative to attempt to resolve any

Preliminary Challenge.  If NY Transco and any Interested Person have not

 

resolved any Preliminary Challenge to the Annual Update within sixty (60)

calendar days after the end of the Review Period (unless such period is extended
with the written consent of NY Transco to continue efforts to resolve the
Preliminary Challenge), such Interested Person may, within thirty (30) calendar
days thereafter, file a challenge with the FERC, pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 385.206
(“Formal Challenge”), which shall be served on NY Transco by electronic service
on the date of such filing.  Subject to any applicable confidentiality and Critical
Energy Infrastructure Information restrictions, all information and correspondence
produced by NY Transco pursuant to these Protocols may be included in any
Formal Challenge or other FERC proceeding relating to the Formula Rate.

Failure to raise an issue in a Preliminary Challenge shall not bar an Interested Person from raising that issue in a Formal Challenge.

b. Any response by NY Transco to a Formal Challenge must be submitted to the

FERC within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the filing of the Formal Challenge, and NY Transco shall serve on the filing party(ies) and the Service List by electronic service on the date of such filing.

c. In any proceeding concerning a given year’s Annual Update (including

corrections) or Accounting Change(s), NY Transco shall bear the burden,

 

consistent with Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, of proving that it has

correctly applied the termsdemonstrate the justness and reasonableness of the rate
resulting from its application of the Formula Rate by demonstrating that it has


 

 

 

 

 

reasonably and accurately calculated the Annual Update and/or reasonably

 

adopted and applied the Accounting Changeconsistent with these Protocols.

Nothing herein is intended to alter the burdens applied by FERC with respect to prudence challenges.

d. Except as specifically provided herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit in

any way the right of NY Transco to file unilaterally, pursuant to Section 205 of
the FPA and the regulations thereunder, an application seeking changes to the
Formula Rate or to any of the stated value inputs requiring a Section 205 filing
under these Protocols (including, but not limited to, ROE, depreciation and
amortization rates, and PBOPs), or the right of any other party or the Commission
to seek such changes pursuant to Section 206 of the FPA and the regulations
thereunder.

e. NY Transco may, at its discretion and at a time of its choosing, make a limited

filing pursuant to Section 205 to modify stated values in the Formula Rate for
amortization and depreciation rates, or PBOP rates.  The sole issue in any such
limited Section 205 proceeding shall be whether such proposed change(s) is just
and reasonable, and it shall not address other aspects of the Formula Rate.

 

Section 6.Changes to Annual Updates

If NY Transco determines or concedes that corrections to the Annual Update are

 

required, whether under Sections 4 or 5 of these Protocols, including but not limited to those

requiring corrections to its FERC Form No. 1, or input data used for a Rate Year that would have
affected the Annual Update for that Rate Year, NY Transco shall promptly notify the Service
List, file a correction to the Annual Update with the FERC as an amended informational filing,


 

 

and cause such information to be posted at a publicly accessible location on the ISO internet
website.  Such corrections shall be subject to review at the time they are made and shall be
reflected in the next Annual Update, with interest.  A corrected posting shall reset the deadlines
under Section 4 and 5 of the Protocols for Interested Person review and the revised dates shall
run from the posting date(s) for each of the corrections. The scope of review shall be limited to
the aspects of the Formula Rate affected by the corrections.  Interest on any over- or under-
recovery due to corrections for preceding True-up Adjustments shall be calculated monthly on
such over- or under-recovery from January 1 of the corrected Rate Year through December 31 of
the Rate Year in which such over- or under-recovery is reflected (“Correction Period”).  The
applicable monthly interest rates for the Correction Period for an over-recovery shall be
determined in accordance with the Formula Rate true-up worksheet divided by twelve (12) for
each month from the beginning of the Correction Period through December 31 of the Rate Year
immediately preceding the Rate Year in which such over-recovery is reflected.  The applicable
monthly interest rates for the Correction Period for an under-recovery shall be the annual interest
rate determined in accordance 18 C.F.R § 35.19a divided by twelve (12) for each month from the
beginning of the Correction Period through December 31 of the Rate Year immediately
preceding the Rate Year in which such under-recovery is reflected.

 

Section 7.Construction Work in Progress

a.Accounting.  For each transmission project for which NY Transco has been

authorized by a Commission order to include Construction Work in Progress

(“CWIP”) in transmission rate base (“CWIP Project”), NY Transco shall use the following accounting procedures to ensure that it does not recover an Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (“AFUDC”) for such project.


 

 

 

 

 

(i)NY Transco shall assign each CWIP Project a unique Funding Project Number

(“FPN”) for internal cost tracking purposes.  For a CWIP Project for which the
NY Transco is recovering 50%less than 100% of CWIP in rate base, two FPNs
will be assigned, one reflecting the CWIP balance in rate base and the other
reflecting the balancing accruing AFUDC.  NY Transco will assign FPNs in such
a way that an Interested Person can identify that the balances are associated with
the same project.

(ii) NY Transco shall record actual construction costs to each FPN through work

orders that are coded to correspond to the FPN for each CWIP Project.  Such
work orders shall be segregated from work orders for transmission projects for
which the Commission has not authorized NY Transco to include CWIP in rate
base.

(iii) For each CWIP Project for which NY Transco is allowed to include 100% of

CWIP in rate base, NY Transco shall ensure that no AFUDC will be accrued under the associated FPN.

(iv) For each CWIP Project, NY Transco shall prepare monthly work order summaries

of costs incurred under the associated FPN.  These summaries shall show monthly
additions to CWIP and plant in service and shall correspond to amounts recorded
in NY Transco’s FERC Form No. 1.  NY Transco shall use these summaries as
data inputs into the Annual Update calculated pursuant to Section 3 and shall
make such work order summaries available upon request pursuant to the review
procedures of Section 4.


 

 

 

 

 

(v)When a CWIP Project is, or portion thereof, is placed into service, NY Transco

shall deduct from total CWIP the accumulated charges for work orders under the
FPN for that project, or portion thereof.  The purpose of this control process is to
ensure that expenditures are not double counted as both CWIP and as additions to
plant.

(ivi) For transmission projects for which the Commission has not authorized NY

Transco to include CWIP in rate base, NY Transco shall record AFUDC to be applied to CWIP and capitalized when the project is placed into service.

b.Annual Reporting.  For each CWIP Project, NY Transco shall file a report with

the Commission at the time of NY Transco’s Annual Update that shall include the

following information concerning each such project:

 

(i)the actual amount of CWIP recorded for each project;

(ii)any amounts recorded in related FERC accounts or subaccounts, such as AFUDC

and regulatory liability;

(iii)the resulting effect of CWIP on the revenue requirement;

 

(iv)a statement of the current status of each project; and the estimated in-service date

for each project.
