Re: New York Independent System Operator, Inc., Amendment to Proposed Tariff
Revisions; Docket No. ER12-2303-00_.
Dear Ms. Bose:
On July 25, 2012, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (“NYISO”)
submitted proposed tariff revisions (“July 25 Filing”) to its Open Access Transmission Tariff
(OATT) and Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff (“Services Tariff”) to
improve clarity and consistency in Attachment Y of the OATT, and related provisions in the
Services Tariff.
It has since come to the NYISO’s attention that a few administrative and typographical
errors were inadvertently made and require correction. The corrections proposed herein do not
alter the substance of the NYISO’s July 25 Filing, but will more accurately reflect the tariff
language approved by the NYISO stakeholders. Both clean and redlined versions of the
proposed revisions to Sections 31.2 and 31.3 of OATT Attachment Y are attached to this
transmittal letter.
Specifically, the NYISO proposes to correct the following administrative and typographical errors:
In preparing the July 25 Filing, the NYISO interpreted a paragraph near the end of OATT
Section 31.2.4.6, which provided a time frame for project sponsors to respond to proposed
NYISO determinations on the viability of alternative regulated solutions, as redundant with
language in OATT Section 31.2.7.4.5 and proposed its deletion. It has since come to the
NYISO’s attention that the language in OATT Section 31.2.7.4.5, while similar to the language
in Section 31.2.4.6, does not encompass the alternative regulated solutions discussed in Section
31.2.4.6, but only addresses market-based solutions. Accordingly, The NYISO proposes to restore the deleted language.

Also, in Section 31.2.4.1, a certain reference to OATT Section 31.2.6.4 was a
typographical error, and should have referred to OATT Section 31.2.5.7.2. The NYISO proposes to correct this reference.
Finally, in OATT Section 31.3.1.3.5, the NYISO inadvertently described the number of
resource types as three when it is actually four; transmission, generation, demand response and
energy efficiency. Accordingly, the NYISO proposes to replace the word “three” with “four.”
I.List of Documents Submitted
The NYISO submits the following documents:
1. This filing letter;
2. A clean version of the proposed revisions to the OATT (Attachment I); and
3. A blacklined version of the proposed revisions to the OATT (Attachment II).

III. Request for Waiver of Sixty Day Notice Period
The errata corrections proposed herein are necessary to achieve the goals of the NYISO’s
July 25 Filing, which were to improve clarity and consistency in its tariff and facilitate the
upcoming joint compliance filing by the NYISO and the New York Transmission Owners
pursuant to the principles and requirements of Order 1000. Because its proposed errata are
entirely consistent with, and address the same substantive issues as the revisions included in the
July 25 Filing in the above-captioned proceeding, the NYISO respectfully requests the
Commission not establish any additional notice and comment period. Should the Commission
notice this filing for comment, however, the NYISO requests that the Commission waive the
standard sixty day notice period and, to the extent necessary, establish a shortened comment
period to preserve the effective date of September 24, 2012, requested in the July 25 Filing. To
the extent necessary, the NYISO also requests waiver of any answer period that might otherwise
apply to this request.
Honorable Kimberly D. Bose September 6, 2012

IV.Effective Date
The NYISO respectfully requests that the Commission accept this erratum to its July 25 Filing as containing ministerial corrections and accept the attached tariff revisions for filing with the same effective date as the Commission assigns to the tariff revisions that the NYISO
submitted on July 25, 2012.
V.Service
The NYISO will e-mail a copy of this filing to the official representative of each party to
this proceeding, to the New York Public Service Commission, and to the New Jersey Board of
