Re: New York Independent System Operator, Inc. Compliance Filing;
Docket Nos. ER16-168-000 and -001
Dear Ms. Bose:
In accordance with Paragraph 46 and Ordering Paragraph (B) of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission’s (“Commission’s”) February 18, 2016 Order Accepting Proposed Tariff Revisions Subject to Condition (“February Order”),1 the New York
Independent System Operator, Inc. (“NYISO”) hereby submits compliance revisions to Section 23.3.1.1.2 of the NYISO’s Market Administration and Control Area Services
Tariff (“Services Tariff”).
The February Order directs the NYISO to apply the same verification requirement to the physical withholding exemption related to unauthorized natural gas as it applies to the physical withholding exemption for forced outages in Services Tariff Section
23.3.1.1.2.2 Consistent with the Commission’s instructions, the attached Tariff revisions add a verification requirement to the exemption from physical withholding evaluation for generators that indicate they are unable to provide output in the Real-Time Market
because doing so would require the Generator to burn unauthorized natural gas. The proposed additional verification requirement language - “subject to verification by the ISO as may be appropriate” - is the same as the Commission accepted language related to exempting forced outages from physical withholding evaluation.
I.LIST OF DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED
Along with this filing letter, the NYISO submits the following documents:
1.a blacklined version of the NYISO’s revisions to Section 23.3.1.1.2 of its
Services Tariff (Attachment I); and
1 New York Independent System Operator, Inc., 154 FERC ¶ 61,111 (2016).
