Re: New York Independent System Operator, Inc., Errata Correcting Compliance Filing,
Docket No. ER17-61-00_
Dear Secretary Bose:
On October 12, 2016,1 the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (“NYISO”)
submitted, in compliance with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (“Commission’s”) Order No. 827 and Order No. 828, proposed revisions to the pro forma Large Generator
Interconnection Agreement (“LGIA”) and the Small Generator Interconnection Agreement (“SGIA”) included in the NYISO’s interconnection procedures set forth in Attachment X and Attachment Z of the NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”).2
It has come to the NYISO’s attention that the tariff revisions filed by the NYISO only
included a portion of the pro forma language required by the Final Rule in Order No. 828. The
NYISO submits this errata filing of a new version of OATT Section 32.5 to include the
inadvertently omitted language, and respectfully requests that Commission accept the corrected
tariff section with the same effective date that was requested in the October Compliance Filing,
i.e., October 13, 2016.
I.Inclusion of Inadvertently Omitted Language
In paragraph 25 of Order No. 828, the Commission included an excerpt from newly
adopted section 1.5.7 of the pro forma SGIA to show changes made to the Commission’s
proposal. The NYISO included the excerpted portion of the section in its October Compliance
Filing but omitted the balance of the section. The NYISO hereby adds the rest of the section to
its OATT and in five places changes the term “Transmission Provider” to “Transmission
Owner,” consistent with prior compliance filings and for the reasons set forth in its October
1 See New York Independent System Operator, Inc’s Compliance Filing; Docket Nos. RM16-1-000, RM16-
8-000, ER17-61-000 (October 12, 2016) (“October Compliance Filing”).
2 Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined in this filing shall have the meaning specified in
Attachment Z of the NYISO OATT, and if not defined therein, in Attachment X of the NYISO OATT and Section 1 of the NYISO OATT.

Compliance Filing. As corrected, Section 1.5.7 of Attachment Z to the NYISO OATT reads as follows:3
1.5.7 The Interconnection Customer shall ensure “frequency ride
through” capability and “voltage ride through” capability of its
Small Generating Facility. The Interconnection Customer shall
enable these capabilities such that its Small Generating Facility
shall not disconnect automatically or instantaneously from the
system or equipment of the Connecting Transmission Owner and
any Affected Systems for a defined under-frequency or over-
frequency condition, or an under-voltage or over-voltage
condition, as tested pursuant to section 2.1 of this agreement. The
defined conditions shall be in accordance with Good Utility
Practice and consistent with any standards and guidelines that are
applied to other generating facilities in the Balancing Authority
Area on a comparable basis. The Small Generating Facility’s
protective equipment settings shall comply with the Transmission
ProviderOwner’s automatic load-shed program. The Transmission
ProviderOwner shall review the protective equipment settings to
confirm compliance with the automatic load-shed program. The
term “ride through” as used herein shall mean the ability of a Small
Generating Facility to stay connected to and synchronized with the
system or equipment of the Transmission ProviderOwner and any
Affected Systems during system disturbances within a range of
conditions, in accordance with Good Utility Practice and consistent
with any standards and guidelines that are applied to other
generating facilities in the Balancing Authority on a comparable
basis. The term “frequency ride through” as used herein shall
mean the ability of a Small Generating Facility to stay connected
to and synchronized with the system or equipment of the
Transmission ProviderOwner and any Affected Systems during
system disturbances within a range of under-frequency and over-
frequency conditions, in accordance with Good Utility Practice and
consistent with any standards and guidelines that are applied to
other generating facilities in the Balancing Authority Area on a
comparable basis. The term “voltage ride through” as used herein
shall mean the ability of a Small Generating Facility to stay
connected to and synchronized with the system or equipment of the
Transmission ProviderOwner and any Affected Systems during
system disturbances within a range of under-voltage and over-
voltage conditions, in accordance with Good Utility Practice and
consistent with any standards and guidelines that are applied to
