Re: New York Independent System Operator, Inc.’s Proposed Tariff
Amendments to Open Access Transmission Tariff Rate Schedule 1 to Remove the Bunce Creek PARs Cost Recovery Mechanism;
Docket No. ER17-___-000
Dear Secretary Bose:
The New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (“NYISO”) submits this filing
pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act1 to propose amendments to Rate Schedule 1 of
the NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”). The proposed amendments remove the
language that was added in 2012 to permit the NYISO to recover from its Transmission
Customers2 payments that it made to the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc.
(“MISO”) for charges assessed by the MISO for International Transmission Company’s
(“ITC’s”) replacement Bunce Creek phase angle regulators (“PARs”). Based on the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission’s (“Commission’s”) September 2016 Order,3 the MISO no
longer assesses charges to the NYISO for the Bunce Creek PARs. Since September 2016, the
MISO has refunded all of the payments that were made subject to refund back to the NYISO and
the NYISO has, in turn, refunded all of the money it received from MISO back to its
Transmission Customers.
1 16 U.S.C. §824d.
2 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning specified Section 1 of the Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”).

I.Background and Justification
In 2012, the Commission accepted NYISO OATT Rate Schedule 1 revisions to permit
the NYISO to recover from its Transmission Customers payments that the NYISO made to the
MISO for ITC’s replacement Bunce Creek PARs.4 The OATT revisions required the NYISO to
include the Bunce Creek PARs charges as NonISOFacilitiesCosts in the allocation formulae set
forth in Sections 6.1.6 of Rate Schedule 1. When the NYISO submitted the OATT revisions to
the Commission in 2012, the NYISO and New York Transmission Owners were vigorously
contesting the propriety, justness and reasonableness of MISO’s and ITC’s Bunce Creek PARs
charges in Docket No. ER11-1844. Given the contested nature of the charges that NYISO was
proposing to recover from its Transmission Customers, the 2012 OATT revisions also specified
how any Commission-ordered refunds would be redistributed to NYISO Transmission
Customers. In general, refunds would be made to NYISO Transmission Customers that paid
Bunce Creek PARs-related charges in proportion to their prior payments. The NYISO’s refund
mechanism did not require the NYISO to reopen closed bills to process and allocate refunds to
its Transmission Customers.
In September 2016, the Commission issued an order concluding that MISO and ITC did not demonstrate that the Bunce Creek PARs cost allocation to NYISO and PJM was just and reasonable (“2016 Order”).5 The order directed MISO to refund to NYISO the funds that
NYISO had previously paid to MISO for the Bunce Creek PARs.6 NYISO received the refund from MISO in October of 2016 and paid the entire refund to its Transmission Customers in accordance with Section 6.1.6 of Rate Schedule 1. The total amount refunded was
approximately $17.6M (i.e., $16.3M plus approximately $1.3M in interest).
The final monthly invoice that could have included outstanding refunds to NYISO
Transmission Customers related to the Bunce Creek PARs was issued on May 5, 2017. At this time, there are no outstanding refunds for the NYISO to issue, or open monthly invoices for
NYISO Transmission Customers to challenge, that include charges or refunds related to the
Bunce Creek PARs.

III.Description of Proposed Revisions to Rate Schedule 1
NYISO proposes to modify Rate Schedule 1 of the OATT, Section 6.1.6, to remove the
entire discussion related to charges assessed by MISO for the cost of ITC’s Bunce Creek PARs.
As discussed above, there are no further charges or refunds for the NYISO to pass through to its
Transmission Customers. In accordance with the 2016 Order, MISO no longer assesses charges
to the NYISO for these facilities and the NYISO has refunded all of the money it received to its
transmission customers.
NYISO also proposes one ministerial cross-reference correction to OATT Section 6.1.6 and three ministerial, clarifying revisions to OATT Section 6.1.15.2. The OATT Section
6.1.15.2 revisions correct typographical errors in the Non-Physical FERC Fee recovery formula, including clarification that the Total TCC Settled is the sum of settled Transmission Congestion Contracts for all Transmission Customers.
IV.Effective Date
The NYISO respectfully requests that the Commission accept the proposed OATT
revisions with an effective date of October 3, 2017, which is 60 days after the date of this filing.
V.Stakeholder Approval
The proposed amendments to OATT Rate Schedule 1 were approved unanimously by the NYISO Management Committee on May 31, 2017. The NYISO Board of Directors approved the filing of these proposed revisions on July 18, 2017.

6.1Schedule 1 - ISO Annual Budget Charge and Other Non-Budget Charges and
Payments
6.1.1Introduction
The ISO shall bill each Transmission Customer each Billing Period to recover the ISO’s
annual budgeted costs as set forth in Section 6.1.2 of this Rate Schedule 1.
The ISO shall separately bill each Transmission Customer under this Rate Schedule 1 for certain other charges and payments not related to the ISO annual budget charge. Specifically, the ISO shall bill each Transmission Customer on a quarterly basis to recover NERC and NPCC charges and on a Billing Period basis to recover FERC charges as set forth in Sections 6.1.3 and
6.1.15 respectively of this Rate Schedule 1. The ISO shall also bill each Transmission Customer each Billing Period to recover the following costs or allocate the following received payments under this Rate Schedule 1:
(i)bad debt loss charges as set forth in Section 6.1.4;
(ii)Working Capital Fund charges as set forth in Section 6.1.5;
(iii)non-ISO facilities payment charges as set forth in Section 6.1.6;
(iv)charges to recover costs for payments made to Suppliers pursuant to incremental
cost recovery for units that responded to Local Reliability Rules I-R3 and I-R5 as
set forth in Section 6.1.7;

Section 6.1.13; and
(xi)payments to allocate financial penalties collected by the ISO as set forth in
Section 6.1.14.
Transmission Customers who are retail access customers being served by an LSE shall not pay these charges to the ISO; the LSE shall pay these charges.
6.1.2ISO Annual Budget Charge
The ISO shall charge, and each Transmission Customer shall pay, a charge for the ISO’s
recovery of its annual budgeted costs. The ISO annual budgeted costs that are recoverable
through this Rate Schedule 1 are set forth in Section 6.1.2.1 of this Rate Schedule 1. The ISO
shall calculate the charge for the recovery of these ISO annual budgeted costs from each
Transmission Customer on the basis of its participation in physical market activity as indicated in
Section 6.1.2.2 of this Rate Schedule 1. The ISO shall calculate this charge for each
Transmission Customer on the basis of its participation in non-physical market activity, the
Special Case Resource program, and the Emergency Demand Response program as indicated in
Section 6.1.2.4 of this Rate Schedule 1. The ISO shall use the revenue collected through Section
6.1.2.4 of this Rate Schedule 1 to recover any of its annual budgeted costs for the immediately
preceding calendar year that it has not already recovered under Section 6.1.2.2 of this Rate
Schedule for that year. The ISO shall credit any additional revenue collected through Section
6.1.2.4 of this Rate Schedule 1 for the remainder of the calendar year to each Transmission
Customer on the basis of its physical market activity as indicated in Section 6.1.2.5 of this Rate Schedule 1.
6.1.2.1ISO Annual Budgeted Costs
The ISO annual budgeted costs to be recovered through Section 6.1.2 of this Rate
Schedule 1 include, but are not limited to, the following costs associated with the operation of the NYS Transmission System by the ISO and the administration of the ISO Tariffs and ISO Related Agreements by the ISO:
Processing and implementing requests for Transmission Service including support of
the ISO OASIS node;
Coordination of Transmission System operation and implementation of necessary
control actions by the ISO and support for these functions;
Performing centralized security constrained dispatch to optimally re-dispatch the
NYS Power System to mitigate transmission Interface overloads and provide balancing services;

Section 12.4 of the Services Tariff;
Regulatory fees; and
The ISO’s share of the expenses of Northeast Power Coordinating Council, Inc. or its
successor.
6.1.2.2 Calculation of the ISO Annual Budget Charge for Transmission
Customers Participating in Physical Market Activity
The ISO shall charge, and each Transmission Customer that participates in physical market activity shall pay, an ISO annual budget charge each Billing Period as calculated according to the following formula.
Where:
c = Transmission Customer.
P = The relevant Billing Period.
= The amount, in $, of the ISO annual budgeted costs
for which Transmission Customer c is responsible for Billing Period P.
= The sum, in $, of the ISO’s annual budgeted costs for the current
calendar year.
= The Injection Billing Units, in MWh, for Transmission Customer c
in Billing Period P, except for Scheduled Energy Injections at a CTS Enabled Interface with ISO New England resulting from Imports that are not associated with wheels
through New England.
= The Withdrawal Billing Units, in MWh, for Transmission
Customer c in Billing Period P, except for Scheduled Energy Withdrawals at a CTS
Enabled Interface with ISO New England resulting from Exports that are not associated with wheels through New England.
= The sum, in MWh, of estimated Withdrawal
Billing Units for all Transmission Customers in the current calendar year as determined by the ISO in the summer prior to the current calendar year, except for Scheduled Energy Withdrawals at a CTS Enabled Interface with ISO New England resulting from Exports that are not associated with wheels through New England.
6.1.2.3Review and Modification of the ISO Annual Budget Charge Allocation
Methodology
The current 72%/28% cost allocation methodology between Withdrawal Billing Units
and Injection Billing Units for the ISO annual budget charge shall remain unchanged through at
least December 31, 2016 and shall continue to remain unchanged until such point in time that a
study is conducted and the results of the study warrant changing the 72%/28% cost allocation.
The following provisions prescribe the process and timeline for the review and, if warranted by
the results of a future study, modification of the 72%/28% cost allocation on a going forward
basis:
(i) A vote of the Management Committee will be taken in the third calendar quarter
of 2015 on whether a new study should be conducted during late-2015 and 2016
to allow modification of the 72%/28% cost allocation, if warranted by the results
of the study, to be implemented by January 1, 2017. A positive vote by 58% of
the Management Committee will be required to go forward with the study, but
there will no longer be a “material change” standard as was historically applied to the determination of whether a study should be conducted.
(ii) If the Management Committee vote discussed in (i) above determines that a study
should not be conducted, the 72%/28% cost allocation between Withdrawal
Billing Units and Injection Billing Units shall be extended through at least
December 31, 2017. In the third calendar quarter of 2016, a vote will be taken on
whether a new study should be conducted during late-2016 and 2017 to allow
modification of the percentage allocation, if warranted by the results of the study,
to be implemented by January 1, 2018. Unless a 58% vote of the Management
Committee is registered in favor of declining to go forward with the study, the
study will be conducted.
(iii) If the Management Committee vote in the third calendar quarter of 2016
discussed in (ii) above determines that a study should not be conducted, the
current 72%/28% cost allocation shall remain unchanged until such point in time
as the Management Committee determines that a study shall be conducted and the
results of that study warrant changing the percentage allocation between
Withdrawal Billing Units and Injection Billing Units. If the Management
Committee vote in the third calendar quarter of 2016 discussed in (ii) above
determines that a study should not be conducted, the Management Committee will
revisit the issue of conducting a study annually in the third calendar quarter of
each year using the same voting standard (i.e. the study shall be performed unless
58% of the Management Committee votes not to commission the study) that was
applied to the Management Committee vote in the third calendar quarter of 2016 discussed in (ii) above.
(iv)If, and when, the Management Committee determines a study shall be conducted:
(a)Such study shall be completed, and the results thereof shared with Market
Participants, before the end of the second calendar quarter of the year prior to the date on which a possible change to the then current allocation may become
effective; and
(b) The ISO will present a draft study scope to Market Participants for consideration
and comment before the ISO issues the study scope as part of its Request For
Proposal process to retain a consultant to perform the study. A meeting shall be held with Market Participants to discuss the components (e.g., categories of costs considered, allocation of benefits, unbundling, etc.) that should be included in the draft study scope before the draft is issued by the ISO.
6.1.2.4 Calculation of the ISO Annual Budget Charge for Transmission
Customers Participating in Non-Physical Market Activity, the Special
Case Resource Program, or the Emergency Demand Response Program
6.1.2.4.1 Charge for Transmission Customers Engaging in Virtual Transactions
The ISO shall charge, and each Transmission Customer that has its virtual bids accepted and thereby engages in Virtual Transactions shall pay, a charge for such activity each Billing Period as calculated according to the following formula.
Where:
c = Transmission Customer.
P = The relevant Billing Period.
= The amount, in $, for which Transmission Customer c is responsible for Billing Period P.
VTRate = For calendar year 2012, the applicable rate shall be $0.0871 per cleared MWh
of Virtual Transactions, based on a $2.6 million projected 2012 annual revenue
requirement. For calendar years following 2012, the applicable rate shall be calculated in
accordance with the formula set forth in Section 6.1.2.4.4 of this Rate Schedule 1.
= The total cleared Virtual Transactions, in MWh, for Transmission Customer c in Billing Period P.
6.1.2.4.2 Charge for Transmission Customers Purchasing Transmission
Congestion Contracts
The ISO shall charge, and each Transmission Customer that purchases Transmission
Congestion Contracts - excluding Transmission Congestion Contracts that are created prior to
January 1, 2010 - shall pay, a charge for such activity each Billing Period as calculated according to the following formula.
Where:
c = Transmission Customer.
P = The relevant Billing Period.
= The amount, in $, for which Transmission Customer c is responsible for Billing Period P.
TCCRate = For calendar year 2012, the applicable rate shall be $0.0372 per settled MWh
of Transmission Congestion Contracts, based on a $4.9 million projected 2012 annual
revenue requirement. For calendar years following 2012, the applicable rate shall be
calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 6.1.2.4.4 of this Rate
Schedule 1.
= The total settled Transmission Congestion Contracts, excluding Transmission Congestion Contracts created prior to January 1, 2010, in MWh, for Transmission Customer c in Billing Period P.
6.1.2.4.3 Charge for Transmission Customers Participating in the Special Case
Resource Program or Emergency Demand Response Program

Special Case Resources program or its Emergency Demand Response program shall pay, a
charge for such activity each Billing Period as calculated according to the following formula.
Where:
c = Transmission Customer.
P = The relevant Billing Period.
= The amount, in $, for which Transmission Customer c is
responsible for Billing Period P.
= The total Load reduction, in MWh, measured and compensated
during testing or an actual event for Transmission Customer c in Billing Period P.
= The sum, in $, of the ISO’s annual budgeted costs in the current
calendar year.
= The sum, in MWh, of estimated Withdrawal
Billing Units for all Transmission Customers in the current calendar year as determined by the ISO in the summer prior to the current calendar year, except for Scheduled Energy Withdrawals at a CTS Enabled Interface with ISO New England resulting from Exports that are not associated with wheels through New England.
6.1.2.4.4 Re-setting of Rate for Virtual Transaction and Transmission Congestion
Contracts Related Charges
For each calendar year after calendar year 2012, the ISO shall use the following formula to calculate (i) the rate for the charge to Transmission Customers engaging in Virtual
Transactions as determined in Section 6.1.2.4.1 of this Rate Schedule 1, and (ii) the rate for the charge to Transmission Customers purchasing Transmission Congestion Contracts as determined in Section 6.1.2.4.2 of this Rate Schedule 1.
Where:
ResetRate = For each calendar year after calendar year 2012, this rate will be used for either (i) the VTRate in the formula in Section 6.1.2.4.1 of this Rate Schedule 1, or (ii) the TCCRate in the formula in Section 6.1.2.4.2 of this Rate Schedule 1.
AnnRevRequirement = The product, in $, of (i) the prior year’s annual revenue
requirement for either (A) Virtual Transaction market activity or (B) Transmission
Congestion Contract market activity, and (ii) an escalation factor. The ISO shall
calculate the escalation factor as the percentage change in the ISO budget between (i) the ISO budget for the calendar year two years prior to the current calendar year (“Calendar Year Minus 2”) and (ii) the ISO budget for the calendar year one year prior to the current calendar year (“Calendar Year Minus 1”).
Over/Under Collection = The ISO shall calculate the amount, in $, that it has over or
under collected for the prior year’s annual revenue requirement for either (A) Virtual
Transaction market activity or (B) Transmission Congestion Contract market activity, as
the case may be, as follows: (i) The ISO shall divide the annual revenue requirements
for the applicable market activity for Calendar Year Minus 2 and for Calendar Year
Minus 1 into twelve equal monthly revenue requirements for each of these calendar
years. (ii) The ISO shall then calculate the amount of revenue, in $, that it over or under
collected for each of the months from July of Calendar Year Minus 2 through June of
Calendar Year Minus 1, which shall be calculated as (a) the revenue amount, in $, that
the ISO collected for each month for the applicable market activity, minus (b) the
monthly revenue requirement, in $, for that month as determined above. If the result of
this calculation is positive, then the ISO overcollected for that month. If the result of this
calculation is negative, then the ISO undercollected for that month. (iii) The ISO shall
then calculate the total over or under collection amount, in $, for the period of July of
Calendar Year Minus 2 through June of Calendar Year Minus 1, which shall be equal to
(a) the sum, in $, of the revenue that the ISO overcollected for each month during this
period (i.e., the sum of the positive monthly results determined above), minus (b) the
sum, in $, of the absolute value of the revenue that the ISO undercollected for each month during this period (i.e., the sum of the absolute value of the negative monthly results
determined above).
3YearRollingAvgBillUnits = The ISO shall calculate the three year rolling average of billing units, in MWh, using twelve-month averages of the appropriate billing units for the period between July of the calendar year four years prior to the current calendar year (“Calendar Year Minus 4”) and June of Calendar Year Minus 1.
The annual rate computed through the formula in this Section 6.1.2.4.4 shall be subject to a 25% maximum increase or decrease for each year.
6.1.2.5Credit for Transmission Customers Participating in Physical Market
Activity After Recovery of ISO Annual Budgeted Costs or Actual Costs for the Preceding Year
The ISO shall use the revenue collected each Billing Period pursuant to Section 6.1.2.4 of
this Rate Schedule 1 to recover the lower of: (i) its annual budgeted costs for the immediately
preceding calendar year; or (ii) its actual costs for the immediately preceding calendar year,
which it has not already recovered under Section 6.1.2 of this Rate Schedule for that year. Once
it has recovered its annual budgeted costs or actual costs for the immediately preceding calendar
year, the ISO shall distribute each Billing Period for the remainder of the calendar year any
additional revenue collected pursuant to Section 6.1.2.4 of this Rate Schedule to each
Transmission Customer that participates in physical market activity as calculated according to
the following formula.
Where:
c = Transmission Customer.
P = The relevant Billing Period.
= The amount, in $, that Transmission Customer c will
receive for Billing Period P.
= The sum, in $, of the revenue collected by the ISO for
Billing Period P through the charges to Transmission Customers for non-physical market activity as calculated in Section 6.1.2.4 of this Rate Schedule 1, less the amount the ISO is using to recover the annual budgeted costs or actual costs for the immediately
preceding calendar year that it did not recover 1) under Section 6.1.2.2 of this Rate
Schedule for that year or 2) through NonPhysicalActivityRevenue previously used for this purpose in the current calendar year provided, however,
shall not be less than zero
= The Injection Billing Units, in MWh, for Transmission Customer c
in Billing Period P, except for Scheduled Energy Injections at a CTS Enabled Interface with ISO New England resulting from Imports that are not associated with wheels
through New England.

Transmission Customers in Billing Period P, except for Scheduled Energy Withdrawals at a CTS Enabled Interface with ISO New England resulting from Exports that are not associated with wheels through New England
Following the end of calendar year 2017, the ISO shall review the credits that have been
made to Transmission Customers participating in physical market activity pursuant to this
Section 6.1.2.5 and shall present the results of its review to Market Participants for comment.
6.1.3NERC and NPCC Charges
The ISO receives an invoice from NERC and NPCC (as defined below) on a quarterly basis for the recovery of the upcoming calendar quarter’s costs related to the dues, fees, and related charges of:
(i) the NERC for its service as the Electric Reliability Organization for the United
States (“ERO”), recovered pursuant to FERC Docket Nos. RM05-30-000, RR06-
1-000 and RR06-3-000 and related dockets, and
(ii) the Northeast Power Coordinating Council: Cross-Border Regional Entity, Inc.
(“NPCC”), or its successors, incurred to carry out functions that are delegated by
the NERC and that are related to ERO matters pursuant to Section 215 of the
FPA.
The ISO shall charge on a quarterly basis, and each Transmission Customer taking
service under the ISO Tariffs shall pay, a charge for the recovery of the NERC and NPCC costs in accordance with Section 6.1.3.1 of this Rate Schedule 1.
Notwithstanding any applicable provisions of this ISO OATT or of the ISO Services Tariff, the ISO may supply to NERC the name of any LSE failing to pay any amounts due to NERC and the amounts not paid.
6.1.3.1 Calculation of NERC and NPCC Charges
The ISO shall charge, and each Transmission Customer shall pay, a charge on a quarterly
basis to recover the NERC and NPCC costs invoiced to the NYISO by NERC and NPCC for the
upcoming calendar quarter. This charge shall be calculated according to the following formula.
Where:
c = Transmission Customer.
Q = The relevant calendar quarter, for which the NERC and NPCC costs apply.
= The amount of the NERC and NPCC costs invoiced to the
ISO, in $, for which Transmission Customer c is responsible for calendar quarter Q.
= The NERC and NPCC costs, in $, invoiced to the ISO for
calendar quarter Q.
M = The month in which the ISO charges Transmission Customers to recover NERC and NPCC costs for calendar quarter Q.
= The Withdrawal Billing Units, in MWh, for Transmission
Customer c in its four-month true-up invoice that is issued with its regular monthly
invoice in month M, except for Withdrawal Billing Units for Wheels Through and
Exports.
= The sum, in MWh, of Withdrawal Billing Units for all
Transmission Customers in their four-month true-up invoices that are issued with their regular monthly invoices in month M, except for Withdrawal Billing Units for Wheels Through and Exports.
In calculating the Withdrawal Billing Units for this NERC and NPCC charge, the ISO
shall use the LSE bus meter data that have been submitted by the meter authorities for use in the
calculation of the four-month true-up of the Transmission Customer’s monthly invoice pursuant
to Sections 7.4.1.1.2 and 7.4.1.1.3 of the ISO Services Tariff and Sections 2.7.4.2.1(ii) and
2.7.4.2.1(iii) of this ISO OATT. This calculation of the NERC and NPCC charge shall not be subject to correction or adjustment.
6.1.4Bad Debt Loss Charge
The ISO shall charge, and each Transmission Customer shall pay, a charge for the
recovery of bad debt losses in accordance with the methodology established in Attachment U of this ISO OATT.
6.1.5Working Capital Fund Charge
The ISO shall charge, and each Transmission Customer shall pay, a charge for the
collection and maintenance of the Working Capital Fund in accordance with the methodology established in Attachment V of this ISO OATT.
6.1.6Non-ISO Facilities Payment Charge
The ISO shall charge, and each Transmission Customer shall pay, a charge in accordance with Section 6.1.6.5 of this Rate Schedule 1 for the recovery of the costs of the ISO’s monthly payments to the owners of facilities that are needed for the economic and reliable operation of the NYS Transmission System. At present, the ISO makes such payments to:
(i)Consolidated Edison Co. of New York, Inc. for the purchase, installation,
operation, and maintenance of phase angle regulators at the Hopatcong-Ramapo Interconnection between the ISO and PJM Interconnection, LLC (the “Ramapo PARs Charge”), and
(ii) Rochester Gas & Electric Corporation for the installation of a 135 MVAR
Capacitor Bank at Rochester Station 80 on the cross-state 345 kV system.
6.1.6.1 Calculation of the Ramapo PARs Charge
The Ramapo PARs Charge is the Consolidated Edison Co. of New York (“Con Edison”) component of the NonISOFacilitiesCosts defined in Section 6.1.6.5 below. Con Edison shall
calculate the Ramapo PARs Charge using the procedures described in the 1993 PARs Facilities
Agreement that was accepted for filing by FERC in Docket No. ER93-640-000 on May 10, 1993 (the “1993 Agreement”), irrespective of the effectiveness of the 1993 Agreement. The costs Con Edison may include in the Ramapo PARs Charge are limited to the categories of costs that are
eligible for recovery under the 1993 Agreement, and by the rules in this Section.
In order to permit the replacement of the Ramapo 3500 PAR that failed in June of 2016 without further delay, commencing on July 1, 2017 Transmission Customers will begin
reimbursing Con Edison for up to 100% of the costs Con Edison incurred or incurs to purchase
and install a replacement for the 3500 PAR, and up to 100% of the going-forward costs Con
Edison incurs to operate and maintain the 3500 PAR.
With regard to the Ramapo PAR installed in and in service since 2013 (“Installed PAR”),

6.1.2.3Review and Modification of the ISO Annual Budget Charge Allocation
Methodology
The current 72%/28% cost allocation methodology between Withdrawal Billing Units
and Injection Billing Units for the ISO annual budget charge shall remain unchanged through at
least December 31, 2016 and shall continue to remain unchanged until such point in time that a
study is conducted and the results of the study warrant changing the 72%/28% cost allocation.
The following provisions prescribe the process and timeline for the review and, if warranted by
the results of a future study, modification of the 72%/28% cost allocation on a going forward
basis:
(i) A vote of the Management Committee will be taken in the third calendar quarter
of 2015 on whether a new study should be conducted during late-2015 and 2016
to allow modification of the 72%/28% cost allocation, if warranted by the results
of the study, to be implemented by January 1, 2017. A positive vote by 58% of
the Management Committee will be required to go forward with the study, but
there will no longer be a “material change” standard as was historically applied to the determination of whether a study should be conducted.
(ii) If the Management Committee vote discussed in (i) above determines that a study
should not be conducted, the 72%/28% cost allocation between Withdrawal
Billing Units and Injection Billing Units shall be extended through at least
December 31, 2017. In the third calendar quarter of 2016, a vote will be taken on
whether a new study should be conducted during late-2016 and 2017 to allow
modification of the percentage allocation, if warranted by the results of the study,
to be implemented by January 1, 2018. Unless a 58% vote of the Management
Committee is registered in favor of declining to go forward with the study, the
study will be conducted.
(iii) If the Management Committee vote in the third calendar quarter of 2016
discussed in (ii) above determines that a study should not be conducted, the
current 72%/28% cost allocation shall remain unchanged until such point in time
as the Management Committee determines that a study shall be conducted and the
results of that study warrant changing the percentage allocation between
Withdrawal Billing Units and Injection Billing Units. If the Management
Committee vote in the third calendar quarter of 2016 discussed in (ii) above
determines that a study should not be conducted, the Management Committee will
revisit the issue of conducting a study annually in the third calendar quarter of
each year using the same voting standard (i.e. the study shall be performed unless
58% of the Management Committee votes not to commission the study) that was
applied to the Management Committee vote in the third calendar quarter of 2016 discussed in (ii) above.
(iv)If, and when, the Management Committee determines a study shall be conducted:
(a)Such study shall be completed, and the results thereof shared with Market
Participants, before the end of the second calendar quarter of the year prior to the date on which a possible change to the then current allocation may become
effective; and
(b) The ISO will present a draft study scope to Market Participants for consideration
and comment before the ISO issues the study scope as part of its Request For
Proposal process to retain a consultant to perform the study. A meeting shall be held with Market Participants to discuss the components (e.g., categories of costs considered, allocation of benefits, unbundling, etc.) that should be included in the draft study scope before the draft is issued by the ISO.

for the applicable market activity for Calendar Year Minus 2 and for Calendar Year
Minus 1 into twelve equal monthly revenue requirements for each of these calendar
years. (ii) The ISO shall then calculate the amount of revenue, in $, that it over or under
collected for each of the months from July of Calendar Year Minus 2 through June of
Calendar Year Minus 1, which shall be calculated as (a) the revenue amount, in $, that
the ISO collected for each month for the applicable market activity, minus (b) the
monthly revenue requirement, in $, for that month as determined above. If the result of
this calculation is positive, then the ISO overcollected for that month. If the result of this
calculation is negative, then the ISO undercollected for that month. (iii) The ISO shall
then calculate the total over or under collection amount, in $, for the period of July of
Calendar Year Minus 2 through June of Calendar Year Minus 1, which shall be equal to
(a) the sum, in $, of the revenue that the ISO overcollected for each month during this
period (i.e., the sum of the positive monthly results determined above), minus (b) the
sum, in $, of the absolute value of the revenue that the ISO undercollected for each month during this period (i.e., the sum of the absolute value of the negative monthly results
determined above).

PARs as NonISOFacilitiesCosts in the formula set forth in Sections 6.1.6.1.1 and 6.1.6.1.2
below. If and to the extent the NYISO receives a refund of Bunce Creek PARs charges the
NYISO shall refund to each Transmission Customer the NonISOFacilitiesCosts it paid pursuant to this paragraph for charges assessed by the MISO for the cost of ITC’s Bunce Creek PARs. To the extent the refund is for less than the full amount of NonISOFacilitiesCosts charges paid
pursuant to this paragraph, the refund to each Transmission Customer shall reflect the percent
reduction of the refund amount paid to the NYISO.
Bunce Creek PAR charges paid by Transmission Customers that are no longer Market
Participants at the time refunds are issued shall be allocated to each Transmission Customer in
the market at the time refunds are issued using the same load ratio share basis used to allocate
Bunce Creek PAR charges to that Transmission Customer. Interest which may be payable to
Transmission Customers receiving refunds shall be allocated to each Transmission Customer in the market at the time of the refund in the same manner as refunds are allocated.
If the Commission issues a final determination that NYISO customers must pay a portion of the cost of ITC’s PARs, the NYISO will commence a stakeholder process to develop a
permanent cost recovery mechanism.
6.1.6.1 Calculation of the Ramapo PARs Charge
The Ramapo PARs Charge is the Consolidated Edison Co. of New York (“Con Edison”) component of the NonISOFacilitiesCosts defined in Section 6.1.6.5 below. Con Edison shall
calculate the Ramapo PARs Charge using the procedures described in the 1993 PARs Facilities
Agreement that was accepted for filing by FERC in Docket No. ER93-640-000 on May 10, 1993 (the “1993 Agreement”), irrespective of the effectiveness of the 1993 Agreement. The costs Con Edison may include in the Ramapo PARs Charge are limited to the categories of costs that are
eligible for recovery under the 1993 Agreement, and by the rules in this Section.
In order to permit the replacement of the Ramapo 3500 PAR that failed in June of 2016 without further delay, commencing on July 1, 2017 Transmission Customers will begin
reimbursing Con Edison for up to 100% of the costs Con Edison incurred or incurs to purchase
and install a replacement for the 3500 PAR, and up to 100% of the going-forward costs Con
Edison incurs to operate and maintain the 3500 PAR.
With regard to the Ramapo PAR installed in and in service since 2013 (“Installed PAR”),
Con Edison shall not submit a Ramapo PARs Charge that would cause Transmission Customers
to pay more than 50% of the costs Con Edison submitted for inclusion in the Non-ISO Facilities
Payment Charge for the Installed PAR prior to July 1, 2017. Subject to the foregoing restriction,
in order to permit the continued operation of the Ramapo Installed PAR, commencing on [insert
effective date of tariff revisions] Transmission Customers will reimburse Con Edison for up to 100% of Con Edison’s going-forward cost of purchasing, installing, operating and maintaining the Installed PAR.
If PJM Interconnection, LLC (“PJM”), on behalf of some or all of its customers, assumes an obligation to pay a portion of the Ramapo PARs Charge, then the obligation of Transmission Customers to pay the Ramapo PARs Charge shall be reduced consistent with the obligation that PJM Interconnection, LLC assumes.
6.1.6.2 Transparency of the Ramapo PARs Charge
The ISO shall post on its web site the itemized monthly bill (for the preceding month) that Con Edison develops and submits to the ISO in accordance with Section 2.4 of the 1993 Agreement. The itemized monthly bill determines the Ramapo PARs Charge.
No later than August 1 of each year Con Edison shall prepare and the ISO shall post on is website an estimate of the monthly costs and expenses associated with the Ramapo PARs for the next calendar year and for each of the four subsequent years.
Con Edison shall maintain books and records related to its calculation of Ramapo PARs Charge, including costs incurred. Such books and records shall be subject to review by any New York Transmission Customer at reasonable intervals during normal business hours.
6.1.6.3 Refund of the Ramapo PARs Charge to Transmission Customers
To the extent Transmission Customers paid more than 50% of the Ramapo PARs Charge for a Billing Period, they shall be eligible to receive a refund if and to the extent Con Edison’s cost recovery exceeds 100% of the Ramapo PARs Charge for that Billing Period.
If PJM, or one or more PJM transmission owners, submit(s) a payment to the ISO
covering Ramapo PARs Charges assessed by Con Edison for a past period that is on or after
[insert effective date of tariff revisions] and the conditions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 6.1.6.3 are satisfied, then appropriate refunds shall be paid to Transmission
Customers in accordance with the rules set forth below.
If PJM or any of the PJM transmission owners submit payments to Con Edison covering
Ramapo PARs Charges assessed by Con Edison on or after July 1, 2017 and the conditions set
forth in the first paragraph of this Section 6.1.6.3 are satisfied, then Con Edison shall refund to
the ISO any amounts it received in excess of 100% of the Ramapo PARs Charge for a Billing
Period and the ISO shall distribute the refund it receives from Con Edison in accordance with the
rules set forth below.
If the ISO receives a refund from Con Edison, or a payment from PJM or from one or
more PJM transmission owners related to the Ramapo PARs Charge, then the ISO shall refund
the amount received to its Transmission Customers as soon as practicable. Refunds shall be
allocated to each Transmission Customer based on its market participation in the Billing Period
during which refunds are issued, using the same load ratio share basis that the ISO uses to
allocate the NonISOFacilitiesCosts charges to Transmission Customers. Interest paid to the ISO
shall be allocated to each Transmission Customer in the same manner as refunds are allocated.
6.1.6.4 Retirement and Replacement of the Ramapo PARs
If either of the Ramapo PARs described in Section 6.1.6.1 fail and are not reparable, or
are retired with the consent of the ISO, then the original cost of the facilities retired shall be
deducted from the gross plant in service and any unrecovered book cost shall be increased by the
cost of removal and reduced by any salvage value, tax benefits, and insurance proceeds. The net
balance shall be billed to the ISO for payment to Con Edison in a lump sum in accordance with
the calculation, transparency, and cost allocation provisions applicable to the Ramapo PARs
Charge.
If either of the Ramapo PARs described in Section 6.1.6.1 are damaged or condemned,
the ISO may direct Con Edison to repair or replace them, provided that: (1) the costs of such
repair or replacement net any insurance proceeds shall be recovered by Con Edison in
accordance with the calculation, transparency, and cost allocation provisions applicable to the
Ramapo PARs Charge; (2) Con Edison shall be the sole party responsible for determining
whether a repair or replacement is in accordance with good utility practice; and (3) the schedule
for any such repair or replacement shall be determined by Con Edison based on reliability
considerations.
