Re: Docket Nos. ER17-446-000, ER17-446-001, New York Independent
System Operator, Inc. - Filing to Correct Typographical Error in
Proposed Tariff
Dear Secretary Bose:
On February 6, 2017, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (“NYISO”) filed
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“Commission”) proposed compliance
revisions to its Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff (“Services Tariff”) in
accordance with the Commission’s Order issued in Docket No ER17-444-000. The NYISO
requested that the Commission accept the revisions with an effective date of January 29, 2017.
The Order accepted in part, subject to condition, and rejected in part the tariff revisions regarding
capacity exports from Localities.1 The February 6 compliance filing sought to remove the
proposed provisions2 that establish the one-year transition mechanism for an “80 percent
Locality Exchange Factor for the G-J Locality.”3 On February 6, 2017, the Commission issued a
notice of the filing and established February 27, 2017 as the due date for comments.
It has come to the NYISO’s attention that the February 6 compliance filing transmittal
letter with which the proposed tariff was submitted correctly reflected the language NYISO is
proposing for Section 5.11.4.1. However, the tariff attachment and blacklined exhibit of Section
5.11 contained language that was inconsistent with the language proposed in the NYISO’s
transmittal letter.4 The NYISO hereby submits this filing to correct this inadvertent error and conform the tariff language to the language proposed in the NYISO’s filing letter.
1 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning specified in the Services
Tariff.
2 See Docket No. ER17-446-000, N.Y. Indep. Sys. Operator, Inc., Proposed Tariff Revisions
Regarding Capacity Exports from Certain Localities in New York (Nov. 30, 2016) (“November 30, 2016 NYISO Filing”).
3 Order at P 55.
4 The February 6 compliance filing transmittal letter and attachments correctly reflected proposed revisions to Services Tariff section 2.12.

I.Documents Submitted
The NYISO respectfully submits the following documents in support of this corrective filing:
1. This filing letter;
2. A clean version of the proposed revisions to the Services Tariff Section 5.11
(“Attachment I”).
3. A blacklined version of the proposed revisions to Services Tariff Section 5.11
(“Attachment II”); and
4. A blacklined version of Services Tariff Section 5.11 showing in blackline and
single underline the language proposed in the November 30, 2016 NYISO Filing,
and showing the compliance revisions in bold and double underline (Attachment
III).
II.Correction
The February 6 compliance filing’s transmittal letter with which the proposed tariff
attachment was submitted correctly reflected the NYISO’s proposed modification to language in
Section 5.11.4.1 contained in the November 30, 2016 NYISO Filing. That language is as
follows:
Except for the the Locality Exchange factor from the G-J Locality to ISO-NE for June 2017 through May 2018, nNo later than January 31 each year, the ISO shall determine the Locality Exchange Factor for each Import Constrained
Locality relative to each neighboring Control Area.
However, the language shown on the attachments to the February 6 compliance filing
inadvertently also struck the phrase “no later than January 31 each year” from Section 5.11.4.1. The elimination of that phrase from the attachments was inadvertent and would be inconsistent with the Order’s compliance directives. Accordingly, the NYISO submits this filing with the version of Section 5.11.4.1 and related attachments it had intended to submit as part of the
February 6 compliance filing.
III.Service
The NYISO will send an electronic link to this filing to the official representative of each
party to the proceedings listed in the subject line of this filing, the official representative of each
of its customers, to each participant on its stakeholder committees, to the New York State Public
Service Commission, and to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. In addition, the complete
filing will be posted on the NYISO’s website at www.nyiso.com.

IV.Effective Date and Conclusion
As requested in the February 6 compliance filing, and in accordance with Ordering Paragraph (C) of the Order, the NYISO requests that the Commission make the revisions proposed herein for Section 5.11.4.1 and the revisions proposed in the February 6 compliance filing for Section 2.12, effective on January 29, 2017, all such revisions as described in the February 6 compliance filing’s transmittal letter.
Respectfully submitted,
