Dear Ms. Bose:
Pursuant to Sections 35.9 and 35.15 of the Commission’s Regulations,1 the New York Independent System Operator, Inc.

The LGIA was submitted to the Commission for acceptance in a joint filing made by the
NYISO and National Grid dated June 21, 2010 in the above-referenced docket. The Commission
accepted the LGIA in a letter order dated August 17, 2010. The LGIA contains several minor
non-confirming provisions to accommodate the unique operational control of the Transmission
Owner Attachments Facilities and Transmission Owner Stand Alone System Upgrade Facilities.
The LGIA was negotiated for the purpose of interconnecting a new wind facility to a National
Grid transmission line between National Grid’s Porter and Rotterdam Substations.
Section 2.3.1 of the LGIA provides that the LGIA may be terminated by the Developer upon giving the NYISO and the Connecting Transmission Owner ninety (90) Calendar Days advance written notice. Pursuant to this section, on June 7, 2011, the Developer sent a letter to the NYISO and to National Grid requesting termination of the LGIA.3
