A The balances in Accounts 190, 281, 282 and 283, as adjusted by any amounts in contra accounts identified as regulatory assets or liabilities related

to FASB 106 or 109. The formula uses the stated average of the beginning and end of year balances to prorate ADIT to comply with IRS normalization rules. Balance of Account 255 is reduced by prior flow throughs and excluded if the utility chose to utilize amortization of tax credits against taxable income as discussed in Note F. Account 281 is not allocated.

B Identified in Form 1 as being only transmission related.

C Cash Working Capital assigned to transmission is one-eighth  of O&M allocated to transmission

Prepayments are the electric related prepayments booked to Account No. 165 and reported on Pages 110-111 line 57 in the Form 1. D              Line 42 removes EPRI Annual Membership Dues listed in Form 1 at 353._.f (enter FN1 line # ),

any EPRI Lobbying expenses included in line 42 of the template and all Regulatory Commission Expenses itemized at 351.h

Line 42 removes all advertisin included in Account 930.1, except safety, education or out-reach related advertising

Line 42 removes all EEI and EPRI research, development and demonstration expenses and NY Transco will not participate in EEI or EPRI.

Line 43 reflects all Regulatory Commission Expenses directly related to transmission service, RTO filings, or transmission siting itemized at 351.h

Line 38 or Line 41 and thus Line 45 shall include any NYISO charges other than penalties, including but not limited to administrative costs. E              Includes only FICA, unemployment, highway, property, gross receipts, and other assessments charged in the current year.

Taxes related to income are excluded.   Gross receipts taxes are not included in transmission revenue requirement in the Rate Formula Template, since they are recovered elsewhere.

F The currently effective income tax rate, where FIT is the Federal income tax rate; SIT is the State income tax rate, and p =

"the percentage of federal income tax deductible for state income taxes". If the utility is taxed in more than one state it must attach a work paper showing the name of each state and how the blended or composite SIT was developed Furthermore, a utility that elected to utilize amortization of tax credits against taxable income, rather than book tax credits to Account No. 255 and reduce

rate base.

multiplied by (1/1-T) .

Inputs Required: FIT = -

SIT= - (State Income Tax Rate or Composite SIT from Attach 3)

p = - (percent of federal income tax deductible for state purposes)

n= - (not for profit entity ownership percentage)

For each Rate Year (including both Annual Projections and True-Up Adjustments) the statutory income tax rates utilized in the Formula Rate shall reflect the weighted average rates

actually in effect during the Rate Year. For example, if the statutory tax rate is 10% from January 1 through June 30, and 5% from July 1 through December 31, such rates would be weighted

181/365 and 184/365, respectively, for a non-leap year.

G The cost of debt is determined using the internal rate of return methodology shown on Attachment 5 once project financing is obtained. Prior to obtaining project financing,

an interest rate of 3.85% from Table 4 of Attachment 5 will be used and will not be trued up. Attachment 5 contains an estimate of the internal rate of return methodology; the methodology will be applied to actual amounts for use in Appendix A.

After the completion of construction, the cost of debt will be calculated pursuant to Attachment 3

H Removes dollar amount of transmission plant included in the development of OATT ancillary services rates and generation step-up facilities, which are deemed to included in OATT ancillary services. For these purposes, generatiostep-up facilities are those facilities at a generator substation on which there is no through-flow when the generator is shut down.

I Enter dollar amounts

J ROE will be supported in the original filing and no change in ROE may be made absent a filing with FERC under FPA Section 205 or 206.

The capital structure will be the actual capital structure up to 53% equity. Lines 93 will be capped at 53% equity. If the actual equity ratio exceeds 53% , the common stock ratio will be reset to 53% and the debt ratio will be equal to 1 minus sum of the preferred stock ratio and common stock ratio.

KUnamortized Abandoned Plant and Amortization of Abandoned Plant will be zero until the Commission accepts or approves recovery of the cost of abandoned plant. Company must submit a Section 205 filing to recover the cost of abandoned plant. Any such filing to recover the cost of an abandoned plant item shall be made no later than 180 days after the date that Company formally declares such plant item abandoned.

L Unamortized Regulatory Assets, consisting of all expenses incurred but not included in CWIP prior to the date the rate is charged to customers, is included at line 28

Carrying costs equal to the weighted cost of capital on the balance of the regulatory asset will accrue until the rate is charged to customers

M Balances exclude Asset Retirement Costs

N Non-incentive investments are investments without ROE incentives and incentive investments are investments with ROE incentives

 

     OUpon enactment of changes in tax law, income tax rates (including changes in apportionment) and other actions taken by a taxing authority, deferred taxes are re-measured and adjusted in the Company’s books of account, resulting in excess or deficient accumulated deferred taxes.  Such excess or deficient deferred taxes attributed to the transmission function will be based upon tax records and calculated in the calendar year in which the excess or deficient amount was measured and recorded for financial reporting purposes.

All revenues booked to Account 454 that are derived from cost items classified as transmission-related will be included as a revenue credit. All revenues booked to Account 456 (includes 456.1) that are derived from cost items classified as transmission-related, and are not derived from rates under this transmission formula rate will be included as a revenue credit Work papers will be included to properly classify revenues booked to these accounts to the transmission function. A breakdown of all Account 454 revenues by subaccount will be provided below, and will be used to derive the proper calculation of revenue credits. A breakdown of all Account 456 revenues by subaccount and customer will be provided and tabulated below, and will be used to develop the proper calculation of revenue credits.

All unfunded reserves will be listed above, specifically including (but not limited to) all subaccounts for FERC Account Nos. 228.1 through 228.4. "Unfunded reserve" is defined as an accrued balance (1) created and increased by debiting an expense which is included in this formula rate (column (e), using the same allocator in column (g) as used in the formula to allocate the amounts in the corresponding expense account) (2) in advance of an anticipated expenditure related to that expense (3) that is not deposited in a restricted account (e.g., set aside in an escrow account, see column (d)) with the earnings thereon retained within that

account. Where a given reserve is only partially funded through accruals collected from customers, only the balance funded by customer collections shall serve as a rate base credit, see column (f). The source of monthly balance data is company records.

Utilizing Appendix A Data

 

The calcuations below calcuate that additional revenue requirement for 100 basis points of ROE and 1 percent change in the equity component of the capital structure.

These amounts are then used to caluate the actual increase in revenue in the table below (starting on line 66) associated with the actual incentive authortized by the Commisison

The use of the 100 basis point calulations do not presume any particular incentive (i.e., 100 basis points) being granted by the Commisison.

Notes 1 The IRR is the input to Debt Cost shown on Appendix A, Page 4, Line 91 during the construction period, after obtaining project financing, in accordance with Note G of Appendix A.

2. The IRR is a discount rate that makes the net present value of a series of cash flows equal to zero. The IRR equation is shown on line 4. N is the last quarter the loan would be outstanding

t is each quarter

Ct is the cash flow (Table 5, Col. I in each quarter)

Alternatively the equation can be written as 0 = C0 + C1/(1+IRR) + C2/(1+IRR)2 + C3/(1+IRR)3 + . . . +Cn/(1+IRR)n and solved for IRR

The Excel formula on line 2 is : (round(XIRR(first quarter of loan Col A of Table 5:last quarter of loan Col A of Table 5, first quarter of loan Col I of Table 5: last quarter of loan Col I of Table 5, 8%),4)) The 8% in the above formula is a seed number to ensure the formula produces a positive number.

3. Line 1 reflects the loan amount, the maximum amount that can be drawn on

4. Lines 5 through 13 include the fees associated with the loan. They are estimated based on current bank condition and are updated with the actual fees once the actual fees are known.

5. The estimate of the average 3 month Libor forward rate for the year on line 14 is that published by Bloomberg Finance L.P. during August of the prior year and is trued-up to actual average 3 month Libor rate for the year under the loan.

6. Table 5, Col. C reflect the capital expenditures in each quarter

7. Table 5, Col. D reflect the amount of the loan that is drawn down in the quarter

8. Table 5, Col. E is the amount of principle drawn down

9. Table 5, Col F calculates the interest on the principle drawn down to date based on the applicable interest on line 16

10. Table 5, Col. G is the total origination fees in line 10 and is input in the first quarter that a portion of the loan in drawn

11. Table 5, Col. H is calculated as follows:

(line 1/1000 less Col. E prior quarter)*line 13/4 +line 12/4000+line 11/4000

Where A = Loan amount in line 1 less the amount drawn down (Table 5, Col. (E)) in the prior quarter

12. The inputs shall be estimated based on the current market conditions and is subject to true up for all inputs , e.g., fees, interest rates, spread, and Table 3 once the amounts are known

13. Prior to obtaining long term debt, the cost of debt, will be 3.28%. If NY Transco obtains project financing, the long term debt rate will be determined using the methodology in Attachment 5 and Attachment 5 contains a hypothetical example of the internal rate of return methodology; the methodology will be applied to actual amounts for use in Attachment A. After the first project is placed into service, NY Transco will use the its actual cost of long term debt determined in Attachment 3 The capital structure will be the actual capital structure up to 53% equity.

Transmission facility Contributions in Aid of Construction Note 1

 

These depreciation and amortization rates will not change absent the appropriate filing at FERC.

 

Note 1: In the event a Contribution in Aid of Construction (CIAC) is made for a transmission facility, the transmission depreciation rates above will be weighted based on the relative amount of underlying plant booked to the accounts shown in lines 1-7 above and the weighted average depreciation rate will be used to amortize the CIAC.

Once determined for a particular CIAC, the rate will not change for that CIAC absent Commission approval.

A

Upon a tax rate change (federal, state and/or, if applicable, state apportionments), the Company re-measures its deferred tax assets and liabilities to account for the new applicable corporate tax rate.  For schedule M items not directly taken to the P&L, the result of this re-measurement is a change to the net deferred tax assets/liabilities recorded in accounts 190, 282, and 283 with a corresponding change in regulatory assets (account 182.3) and regulatory liabilities (account 254) to reflect the return of/collection from excess/deficient deferred taxes to/from customers.  Within the FERC Form 1, deficient and excess ADITs in Account 182.3 and Account 254, respectively are presented grossed-up for tax purposes.  For ratemaking purposes, these grossed-up balances are treated as FAS109 and subsequently removed from rate base, thereby ensuring rate base neutrality for tax rate changes.  The Company would follow the process described above to re-measure ADIT balances (increase or decrease) due to any future income tax rate change.

B

Beginning balance of year is the end of the prior year balance as reflected on FERC Form No. 1, pages 232 (Account 182.3) and 278 (Account 254)

36.3.1.2Formula Rate Implementation Protocols

The formula rate template (“Template”) and these Formula Rate Implementation Protocols (“Protocols”) together comprise the filed rate (“Formula Rate”) of NY Transco for transmission revenue requirement determinations under the ISO OATT.  NY Transco shall follow the instructions specified in the Formula Rate to calculate annually its Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement, as set forth at page 1, line 5 of the Template (“Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement”).  The Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement shall be determined for January 1 to December 31 of a given calendar year (the “Rate Year”).  Information included in the Formula Rate Attachments shall identify project specific revenue requirements for each Approved NYTP set forth in Rate Schedule 13 of the ISO OATT.  The Formula Rate shall become effective for recovery of NY Transco’s Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement upon the effective date for incorporation into the ISO OATT through an appropriate filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or “Commission”) under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act (“FPA”).    

Section 1.              Annual Projection

a. No later than September 30 preceding the first Rate Year, and each subsequent Rate Year, NY Transco shall determine its projected Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement for the upcoming Rate Year in accordance with NY Transco’s Formula Rate (“Annual Projection”).  The Annual Projection shall include the True-up Adjustment described and defined in Section 2 below, if applicable.  NY Transco shall cause an electronic version of the Annual Projection to be posted in both a Portable Document Format and fully-functioning Excel file fully populated with formulas intact at a publicly accessible location on ISO’s internet website.  Such posting shall include (i) all inputs in sufficient detail to identify the components of NY Transco’s projected Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement, and (ii) explanations of the bases for the projections and input data to demonstrate that each input to the formula rate is consistent with the requirements of the formula rate.  If the date for making such posting of the Annual Projection should fall on a weekend or a holiday recognized by FERC, then the posting shall be made no later than the next business day.  NY Transco shall electronically serve each Annual Projection upon the Service List.2[2 As used in these protocols, “Service List” shall include but not be limited to (i) the email list of ISO OATT Transmission Customers maintained by the ISO; (ii) any state regulatory agency with rate jurisdiction over a public utility located within the ISO  footprint; and (iii) any consumer advocate agency authorized by state law to review and contest the rates for any such public utility, provided such consumer advocate agency requests to be placed on the Service List and provides an e-mail address to NY Transco.]

b.If NY Transco makes changes in the Annual Projection for a given Rate Year, NY Transco shall cause such revised Annual Projection to be promptly posted at a publicly accessible location on the ISO internet website and shall electronically serve a link to the website upon the Service List.  Changes posted prior to October 31 of the preceding Rate Year, or the next business day if October 31 is not a business day (or such later date as can be accommodated under the ISO’s billing practices), shall be reflected in the Annual Projection for the Rate Year; changes posted after that date will be reflected, as appropriate, in the True-up Adjustment for the Rate Year. 

c.The Annual Projection, including the True-Up Adjustment, for each Rate Year shall be subject to review, challenge, true-up and refunds or surcharges with interest, to the extent and in the manner provided in these Protocols.

Section 2.               True-up Adjustment

NY Transco will calculate the amount of under- or over-collection of its actual Net Revenue Requirement, as set forth at page 1, line 3 of the Template during the preceding Rate Year (“True-up Adjustment”) after the FERC Form No. 1 data for that Rate Year has been filed with the Commission.  The True-up Adjustment shall be the sum of components a and b, determined in the following manner:

a.NY Transco’s projected Net Revenue Requirement collected during the previous Rate Year3[3 If the initial year of this rate schedule is a partial year, the initial projected Net Revenue Requirement will be divided by the number of months the Formula Rate is in effect to calculate the monthly projected cost of service to be collected each month of the first year.  Similarly, the actual Net Revenue Requirement will be divided by the number of months the rate is in effect to calculate the actual cost of service to be collected each month of the first year.  The first True-up Adjustment will compare the projected Net Revenue Requirement billed and the actual Net Revenue Requirement for that initial Rate Year.] will be compared to NY Transco’s actual Net Revenue Requirement for the previous Rate Year calculated in accordance with NY Transco’s Formula Rate and based upon (i) NY Transco’s FERC Form No. 1 for that same Rate Year, (ii) any FERC orders specifically applicable to NY Transco’s calculation of its annual revenue requirement, (iii) the books and records of NY Transco (which shall be maintained consistent with the FERC Uniform System of Accounts (“USofA”)), (iv) FERC accounting policies and practices applicable to the calculation of annual revenue requirements under formula rates, and (v) any aspects of the ISO OATT and other governing documents that apply to the calculation of annual revenue requirements under individual transmission owner formula rates, to determine any over- or under-recovery (“True-up Adjustment Over/Under Recovery”).  NY Transco will include a variance analysis of, at minimum, actual revenue requirement components of rate base, operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, taxes, return on rate base, and revenue credits as compared to the corresponding components in the projected revenue requirement that was calculated for the prior Rate Year with an explanation of all changes.   

b.Interest on any True-up Adjustment Over/Under Recovery of the actual Net Revenue Requirement shall be calculated in accordance with the Formula Rate Attachment 7a.

Section 3.               Annual Update

a.On or before June 30 following each Rate Year, NY Transco shall calculate its actual Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement, including the True-up Adjustment as described in Section 2 (“Annual Update”) for such Rate Year, and shall cause such Annual Update to be posted, in both a Portable Document Format and fully-functioning Excel format containing the populated template with formula intact for that year’s update, at a publicly accessible location on the ISO internet website, and electronically serve a link to the website upon the Service List.   In addition, the Annual Update shall be contemporaneously submitted as an informational filing with the FERC.

b.If the date for making the Annual Update posting should fall on a weekend or a holiday recognized by the FERC, then the posting shall be due on the next business day.

c.The date on which the last of the events listed in Section 3.a or 3.b occurs shall be that year’s “Publication Date.”  Any delay past the date on which the last of the events listed in Section 3.a or 3.b occurs shall result in an equivalent extension of time for the submission of information requests and challenges, as described in Sections 4 and 5 below.

d.Together with the posting of the Annual Update, NY Transco shall cause to be posted on the ISO website the time, date and location for a stakeholder meeting including but not limited to (i) any Eligible Customer under the ISO OATT; (ii) any regulatory agency with rate jurisdiction over a public utility located within the ISO footprint; (iii) any consumer advocate authorized by state law to review and contest the rates for any such public utility, or (iv) any party with standing under FPA Section 205 or 206 (collectively, "Interested Persons") in order for NY Transco to explain its Annual Update and to provide Interested Persons an opportunity to seek information and clarifications regarding the Annual Update (“Stakeholder Meeting”).  NY Transco shall accommodate interested parties that wish to participate in the Stakeholder Meeting via teleconference or webinar.  The Stakeholder Meeting shall be held no less than twenty (20) business days and no more than thirty (30) business days after June 30. 

e.The Annual Update for the Rate Year:

(i)Shall provide, via the Formula Rate worksheets, sufficiently detailed supporting documentation for data (and all adjustments thereto or allocations thereof) used in the Formula Rate that are not stated in the FERC Form No. 1 to enable any interested party to replicate the calculation of the Formula Rate.4[4 It is the intent of the Formula Rate, including the supporting explanations and allocations described therein, that each input to the Formula Rate for purposes of determining the actual Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement for a given Rate Year will be either taken directly from the FERC Form No. 1 or reconcilable to the FERC Form No. 1 by the application of clearly identified and supported information.  If the referenced from is superseded, the successor form(s) shall be utilized and supplemented as necessary to provide equivalent information as that provided in the superseded form.  If the referenced form is discontinued, equivalent information as that provided in the discontinue form shall be utilized.]

(ii)Shall provide supporting documentation and workpapers for the data used in the Annual Update that are not otherwise available in the FERC Form No. 1, including all adjustments made to the FERC Form No. 1 data in determining formula inputs.

(iii)Shall include a variance analysis of, at minimum, actual revenue requirement components of rate base, operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, taxes, return on rate base, and revenue credits as compared to the corresponding components in the projected revenue requirement that was calculated for the prior Annual Update with an explanation of changes.

(iv)Shall provide notice and a narrative summary of all changes in NY Transco’s accounting policies and practices from those in effect for the calendar year upon which the immediately preceding Annual Update was based that affect the Formula Rate or calculation of the Annual Update (“Accounting Change(s)”).  Accounting Changes may, among other things, include:  (1) the initial implementation of an accounting standard or policy, (2) the initial implementation of accounting practices for unusual or unconventional items where FERC has not provided specific accounting direction, (3) corrections of mistakes and prior period adjustments,5[5 For purposes of these Protocols, “mistakes” shall mean errors or omissions regarding the values inputted into the Formula Rate template, such as, but not limited to, arithmetic and other inadvertent computational errors, erroneous Form No. 1 references, or the like.  Mistakes shall not include matters involving exercise of judgment or substantive differences of opinion regarding the derivation of an input that is more properly the subject of the annual review process.] (4) the implementation of new estimation methods or policies that change prior estimates, and (5) changes to income tax elections.  Such notice shall also include (1) those changes that could impact the Formula Rate or the calculations under the Formula Rate within the next three years; and (2) any changes in the ISO OATT from the provisions of the ISO OATT in effect during the calendar year upon which the most recent Net Revenue Requirement was based and that could impact the Formula Rate or the calculations under the Formula Rate within the next three years.

(v)Shall be subject to review and challenge in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 4, 5, and 6 of these Protocols.

(vi)Shall be subject to review and challenge in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Protocols with respect to the prudence of any costs and expenditures included for recovery in the Annual Update; provided, however, that nothing in these Protocols is intended to modify the Commission’s applicable precedent with respect to the burden of going forward or burden of proof under formula rates in such prudence challenges; and

(vii)Shall not seek to modify the Formula Rate and shall not be subject to challenge by any Interested Person seeking to modify the Formula Rate (i.e., any modifications to the Formula Rate will require, as applicable, an FPA Section 205 or Section 206 filing or initiation of a Section 206 investigation).

(viii)Shall provide support for any deferred income tax account balances, including any Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Nos. 106 and 109 Adjustments.

(ix)Shall identify and provide support for any costs and expenses related to any merger or acquisition of a jurisdictional facility (including, but not limited to, acquisition premiums and goodwill) that have been included in the Annual Update, including a citation to the FERC order approving the recovery of such costs and expenses; otherwise, any such costs that have been reported in the FERC Form No. 1 must be deducted from the costs to be recovered in the Annual Update.

(x)Shall identify any asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) included in the Annual Update, including a citation to the FERC order approving recovery of the ARO; otherwise, any such items reported in the FERC Form No. 1 must be deducted from the costs to be recovered in the Annual Update.

(xi)Shall identify the specific amounts included in the annual Update related to each transmission incentive project, a citation to the proceeding in which FERC granted the incentive, and provide a derivation of the value for each project.

(xii)Shall include a worksheet listing all the errors and corrections agreed to by NY Transco and any interested parties, or ordered by FERC, related to the previous Rate Year that have been incorporated into the current Annual Update.

f.The following Formula Rate inputs shall be stated values to be used in the Formula Rate until changed pursuant to an FPA Section 205 or 206 proceeding: (i) rate of return on common equity (“ROE”); (ii) “Post-Employment Benefits other than Pensions” pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions (“PBOP”) charges; and (iii) the depreciation and/or amortization rates as set forth in Attachment 9 to the Formula Rate template.  No changes may be made to the ROE, capital structure, PBOP expenses, or depreciation and/or amortization rates absent a filing under Sections 205 or 206 of the Federal Power Act. 

g.Example – Timeline for 2015 Annual Update:

On or before September 30 of the first year, NY Transco will determine the projected Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement for the second year, which is expected to be the first year that costs are recovered from ISO customers under the Formula Rate.  NY Transco will post the Annual Projection for the second Rate Year in accordance with Section 1 above.  NY Transco will not determine a True-up Adjustment or post an Annual Update on August 1 of the second year if no costs have been recovered under the Formula Rate during the first year.  On or before September 30 of the second year, NY Transco will post the Annual Projection for the third Rate Year.  On or before August 1 of the third year, NY Transco will post its first Annual Update, consisting of the True-up Adjustment for the second Rate Year determined pursuant to Section 2 above.  Such True-up Adjustment will be reflected in the Annual Projection of the Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement for the fourth Rate Year posted on or before September 30 of the third year.  The Annual Update posted August 1 of the third year will be subject to the customer review and challenge procedures described in Sections 4, 5, and 6 of these Protocols.      

Section 4.               Annual Review Procedures

Each Annual Update shall be subject to the following review procedures (“Annual Review Procedures”):

a.Interested Persons shall have up to the latest of one hundred fifty (150) calendar days after the Publication Date, thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of all responses to timely submitted information requests (unless such period is extended with the written consent of NY Transco), or thirty (30) calendar days after resolution of a dispute that does not result in the production of additional information (“Review Period”), to review the calculations and to notify NY Transco in writing of any specific challenges, including but not limited to challenges related to Accounting Changes and to the Annual Update (“Preliminary Challenge”).  Interested persons may challenge through a Preliminary Challenge or a Formal Challenge: (1) whether NY Transco has properly calculated the Annual Update under review (including any corrections pursuant to Section 6); (ii) whether the costs included in the Annual Update are properly recordable and recorded, prudent, reasonable, and incurred according to appropriate procurement methods and cost control methodologies and otherwise consistent with NY Transco’s accounting policies, practices and procedures consistent with the USofA; (iii) whether the input data used in the Annual Update are accurate and correctly used in the Formula Rate; (iv) the effect of Accounting Changes; and (v) whether the Formula Rate has been applied according to its terms, including the procedures in these Protocols.  NY Transco shall promptly cause to be posted all Preliminary Challenges at a publicly accessible location on the ISO internet website and a link to the website will be electronically served upon the Service List.  Any Formal Challenges are to be filed in the NY Transco’s informational filing dockets.

NY Transco shall respond in writing to a Preliminary Challenge within twenty (20) business days of receipt, and its response shall notify the challenging party of the extent to which NY Transco agrees or disagrees with the challenge.  If NY Transco disagrees with the Preliminary Challenge, its response shall include supporting documentation.  NY Transco shall promptly cause to be posted responses to all Preliminary Challenges at a publicly accessible location on the ISO internet website and a link to the website will be electronically served upon the Service List.

b.Interested Persons shall have up to one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after each annual Publication Date (unless such period is extended with the written consent of NY Transco) to serve reasonable information requests on NY Transco.  Information requests shall be limited to what is necessary to determine if: (i) NY Transco has properly calculated the Annual Update under review (including any corrections pursuant to Section 6); (ii) the costs included in the Annual Update are properly recordable and recorded, reasonable, prudent, and incurred according to appropriate procurement methods and cost control methodologies and otherwise consistent with NY Transco’s accounting policies, practices and procedures consistent with the USofA; (iii) the input data used in the Annual Update are accurate and correctly used in the Formula Rate; (iv) the effect of Accounting Changes; (v) the Formula Rate has been applied according to its terms, including the procedures in these Protocols; and (vi) any other information that may reasonably have substantive effect on the calculation of the revenue requirement pursuant to the Formula Rate.  NY Transco shall cause any information requests received to be posted at a publicly accessible location on the ISO internet website and shall electronically serve a link to the website upon the Service List.  The information and document requests shall not otherwise be directed to ascertaining whether the formula rate is just and reasonable.

c.NY Transco shall make a good faith effort to respond to information requests pertaining to the Annual Update within ten (10) business days of receipt of such requests.  In the event an information request is not provided within 10 business days, the parties will mutually agree on an extension of the Review Period. 

To the extent NY Transco and any Interested Person(s) are unable to resolve disputes related to information requests submitted in accordance with these Annual Review Procedures, NY Transco or any Interested Person may petition the FERC to appoint an Administrative Law Judge as a discovery master to resolve the discovery dispute(s) in accordance with these Protocols and consistent with the FERC’s discovery rules.  NY Transco shall not clam that responses to information and document requests provided pursuant to these protocols are subject to any settlement privilege, in any subsequent FERC proceeding addressing NY Transco’s Annual True-Up or Projected Net Revenue Requirement.

d.Failure to pursue an issue through a Preliminary Challenges or to otherwise lodge a Formal Challenge regarding any issue as to a given Annual Update only bars pursuit of such issue with respect to that Annual Update, and in no event shall bar pursuit of such issue or the lodging of a Formal Challenge as to such issue as it relates to a subsequent Annual Update.

e.If a change made by NY Transco to its accounting policies, practices or procedures, or their application to the Formula Rate, pursuant to Section 3(e)(iv) of these Protocols is found by the FERC to be unjust, unreasonable, and/or unduly discriminatory or preferential, then the calculation of the charges to be assessed during the Rate Year then under review, and the charges to be assessed during any subsequent Rate Years, including any True-up Adjustments, shall not include such change, but shall include any lawful remedy that may be prescribed by FERC to ensure that the Formula Rate continues to operate in a manner that is just, reasonable, and not unduly discriminatory or preferential.

Section 5.Resolution of Challenges

a.NY Transco shall appoint a senior representative to attempt to resolve any Preliminary Challenge.  If NY Transco and any Interested Person have not resolved any Preliminary Challenge to the Annual Update within sixty (60) calendar days after the end of the Review Period (unless such period is extended with the written consent of NY Transco to continue efforts to resolve the Preliminary Challenge), such Interested Person may, within thirty (30) calendar days thereafter, file a challenge with the FERC (“Formal Challenge”), which shall be served on NY Transco by electronic service on the date of such filing.  Subject to any applicable confidentiality and Critical Energy Infrastructure Information restrictions, all information and correspondence produced by NY Transco pursuant to these Protocols may be included in any Formal Challenge or other FERC proceeding relating to the Formula Rate.  Failure to raise an issue in a Preliminary Challenge shall not bar an Interested Person from raising that issue in a Formal Challenge.

b.Any response by NY Transco to a Formal Challenge must be submitted to the FERC within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the filing of the Formal Challenge, and NY Transco shall serve on the filing party(ies) and the Service List by electronic service on the date of such filing.

c.In any proceeding concerning a given year’s Annual Update (including corrections) or Accounting Change(s), NY Transco shall bear the burden, consistent with Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, of proving that it has correctly applied the terms of the Formula Rate consistent with these Protocols.  Nothing herein is intended to alter the burdens applied by FERC with respect to prudence challenges.

d.Except as specifically provided herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit in any way the right of NY Transco to file unilaterally, pursuant to Section 205 of the FPA and the regulations thereunder, an application seeking changes to the Formula Rate or to any of the stated value inputs requiring a Section 205 filing under these Protocols (including, but not limited to, ROE, depreciation and amortization rates, and PBOPs), or the right of any other party or the Commission to seek such changes pursuant to Section 206 of the FPA and the regulations thereunder.

e.NY Transco may, at its discretion and at a time of its choosing, make a limited filing pursuant to Section 205 to modify stated values in the Formula Rate for amortization and depreciation rates, or PBOP rates.  The sole issue in any such limited Section 205 proceeding shall be whether such proposed change(s) is just and reasonable, and it shall not address other aspects of the Formula Rate.   

Section 6.              Changes to Annual Updates

If NY Transco determines or concedes that corrections to the Annual Update are required, whether under Sections 4 or 5 of these Protocols, including but not limited to those requiring corrections to its FERC Form No. 1, or input data used for a Rate Year that would have affected the Annual Update for that Rate Year, NY Transco shall promptly notify the Service List, file a correction to the Annual Update with the FERC as an amended informational filing, and cause such information to be posted at a publicly accessible location on the ISO internet website.  Such corrections shall be subject to review at the time they are made and shall be reflected in the next Annual Update, with interest.  A corrected posting shall reset the deadlines under Section 4 and 5 of the Protocols for Interested Person review and the revised dates shall run from the posting date(s) for each of the corrections. The scope of review shall be limited to the aspects of the Formula Rate affected by the corrections.  Interest on any over- or under-recovery due to corrections for preceding True-up Adjustments shall be calculated monthly on such over- or under-recovery from January 1 of the corrected Rate Year through December 31 of the Rate Year in which such over- or under-recovery is reflected (“Correction Period”).  The applicable monthly interest rates for the Correction Period for an over-recovery shall be determined in accordance with the Formula Rate true-up worksheet divided by twelve (12) for each month from the beginning of the Correction Period through December 31 of the Rate Year immediately preceding the Rate Year in which such over-recovery is reflected.  The applicable monthly interest rates for the Correction Period for an under-recovery shall be the annual interest rate determined in accordance 18 C.F.R § 35.19a divided by twelve (12) for each month from the beginning of the Correction Period through December 31 of the Rate Year immediately preceding the Rate Year in which such under-recovery is reflected.

Section 7.               Construction Work in Progress

a.Accounting.  For each transmission project for which NY Transco has been authorized by a Commission order to include Construction Work in Progress (“CWIP”) in transmission rate base (“CWIP Project”), NY Transco shall use the following accounting procedures to ensure that it does not recover an Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (“AFUDC”) for such project.

(i)NY Transco shall assign each CWIP Project a unique Funding Project Number (“FPN”) for internal cost tracking purposes.  For a CWIP Project for which the NY Transco is recovering less than 100% of CWIP in rate base, two FPNs will be assigned, one reflecting the CWIP balance in rate base and the other reflecting the balancing accruing AFUDC.  NY Transco will assign FPNs in such a way that an Interested Person can identify that the balances are associated with the same project.

(ii)NY Transco shall record actual construction costs to each FPN through work orders that are coded to correspond to the FPN for each CWIP Project.  Such work orders shall be segregated from work orders for transmission projects for which the Commission has not authorized NY Transco to include CWIP in rate base.

(iii)For each CWIP Project for which NY Transco is allowed to include 100% of CWIP in rate base, NY Transco shall ensure that no AFUDC will be accrued under the associated FPN.

(iv)For each CWIP Project, NY Transco shall prepare monthly work order summaries of costs incurred under the associated FPN.  These summaries shall show monthly additions to CWIP and plant in service and shall correspond to amounts recorded in NY Transco’s FERC Form No. 1.  NY Transco shall use these summaries as data inputs into the Annual Update calculated pursuant to Section 3 and shall make such work order summaries available upon request pursuant to the review procedures of Section 4.

(v)When a CWIP Project is, or portion thereof, is placed into service, NY Transco shall deduct from total CWIP the accumulated charges for work orders under the FPN for that project, or portion thereof.  The purpose of this control process is to ensure that expenditures are not double counted as both CWIP and as additions to plant.

(vi)For transmission projects for which the Commission has not authorized NY Transco to include CWIP in rate base, NY Transco shall record AFUDC to be applied to CWIP and capitalized when the project is placed into service.

b.Annual Reporting.  For each CWIP Project, NY Transco shall file a report with the Commission at the time of NY Transco’s Annual Update that shall include the following information concerning each such project:

(i)the actual amount of CWIP recorded for each project;

(ii)any amounts recorded in related FERC accounts or subaccounts, such as AFUDC and regulatory liability;

(iii)the resulting effect of CWIP on the revenue requirement;

(iv)a statement of the current status of each project; and the estimated in-service date for each project.
