Re: Docket Nos. ER12-701-000, ER12-701-001, and ER15-2640-000, New
York Independent System Operator -Compliance Filing and Notice of
Effective Date
Dear Secretary Bose:
On December 28, 2011, January 13, 2012 (errata) and September 10, 2015, the New
York Independent System Operator, Inc. (“NYISO”) filed proposed tariff revisions in the above
Dockets related to its proposal to implement Coordinated Transaction Scheduling (“CTS”) with
ISO-New England, Inc. (“ISO-NE”).1 On April 19, 20122 and November 9, 2015,3 the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (“Commission”) issued Orders (the “April 19 Order” and
“November 9 Order,” respectively) accepting the NYISO’s proposed Tariff4 revisions, subject to
conditions, to become effective on the date that CTS becomes operational. The November 9
Order directed the NYISO to “submit a compliance filing with revised tariff records no later than
14 days prior to the date on which CTS will become operational reflecting the effective date of the tariff provisions and correcting the typographical errors [identified in PP. 8 and 9 of the November 9 Order].” This Compliance Filing and Notice of Effective Date is submitted to comply with the Commission’s instructions.
1 ISO-NE proposed corresponding revisions to its tariffs in Docket Nos. ER12-1155-000 and
ER15-2641-000, which the Commission accepted for filing, subject to the correction of a small number of typographical errors. See ISO New England Inc. and New England Power Pool, 139 FERC ¶ 61,047
(2012) and ISO New England Inc., New England Power Pool Participants Committee, and the
Participating Transmission Owners Administrative Committee, 153 FERC ¶ 61,159 (2015).
2 New York Independent System Operator, Inc., 139 FERC ¶ 61,048 at P 1 (2012) (“April 19
Order”).
3 New York Independent System Operator, Inc., 153 FERC ¶ 61,158 at P 1 (2015) (“November 9
Order”).
4 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning specified in Section 2 of the NYISO Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff (“Services Tariff”) and Section 1 of the NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”).

The NYISO and ISO-NE are prepared to implement CTS for the December 15, 2015 market-day. The NYISO submits this filing to provide revised tariff records and notice to the Commission and to New York and New England market participants of the expected effective date for the accepted Tariff revisions.5
The Tariff revisions submitted with this filing include an executed version of the
Coordination Agreement, an updated first page of the Coordination Agreement indicating the agreement is effective as of December 15, 2015 and the typographical corrections identified in Paragraph 8 of the November 9 Order. The second typographical error, identified in Paragraph 9 of the November 9 Order, was not present in the NYISO’s September 10, 2015 filing in Docket No. ER15-2640, so no correction is necessary. The Commission-directed language is included in the clean version of the OATT submitted herewith.
