AThe 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. 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.

BIdentified in Form 1 as being only transmission related.

CCash 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.

DLine 41 removes EPRI Annual Membership Dues listed in Form 1 at 353._.f (enter FN1 line #),

any EPRI Lobbying expenses included in line 44 of the template and all Regulatory Commission Expenses itemized at 351.h

Line 41 removes all advertising included in Account 930.1, except safety, education or out-reach related advertising

Line 41 removes EEI and EPRI research, development and demonstration expenses associated with projects in which transmission customers can voluntarily participate to the extent such expenses exceed a maximum annual aggregate amount of $100,000

Line 42 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.

EIncludes 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.

FThe 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.

GThe 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,

the interest rate in Table 2 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 January 1, 2019 or the completion of construction, which ever occurs earlier, the cost of debt will be calculated pursuant to Attachment 3

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

IEnter dollar amounts

JROE 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 60% equity and 40% debt for the CWIP associated with the projects and Regulatory Assets in line 28, and the return on such projects will be input on line 71. The CWIP Projects will not be included in rate base (line 25). The capital structure shown on lines 89-92 will be 60% equity and 40% debt until January 1, 2019 or the completion of construction, which ever occurs earlier. After January 1, 2019 or the completion of construction, which ever occurs earlier, the capital structure on lines 89-92 will reflect the actual capital structure, and will be capped at 60% equity. If the actual equity ratio exceeds 60%, the common stock ratio will be reset to 60% 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

LUnamortized 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

MBalances exclude Asset Retirement Costs

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.

Preferred Stock is equal to 112.3c less any Preferred Treasury Stock plus any Preferred Additional Paid-in-Capital, recognizing that if there is any Preferred Treasury Stock or Preferred Additional Paid-in-Capital, then the respective amounts shall be appropriately disclosed in a footnote to the capital structure cost support in the formula rate template.

Common Equity is equal to 112.16c less 112.3c less 112.12c less 112.15c, recognizing that line 112.15c may be a positive or negative number and if it is positive, it shall be subtracted in the formula, and if it is entered as a negative in the Form 1, it shall be added (a double minus sign when subtracting a negative number) in the formula.

 

The cost of long-term debt for a Rate Year will be the sum of the interest expense and cost of issuances divided by the 13-month average long-term debt balance for the Rate Year. The cost of long-term debt issuances shall include long-term interest expense amounts recorded in the following FERC accounts:

Notes 1. During the contruction period, the IRR is the Debt Cost shown on Line 91 of Appendix A after debt is issued and the Interest Rate in Table 2 prior to debt being issued."

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 (Tabel 3, 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

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

4. Lines 5 throught 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. Line 14 is the average daily Libor monthly interest rate for the prior month for the estimate and the actual daily Libor monthly interest rate for the prior year for the True-Up.

6. Table 3, Col. C reflect the capital expenditures in each quarter

7. Table 3, Col. D reflect the amount of the load that is drawn down in the quarter

8. Table 3, Col. G is the total origination fees in line 10 and is input in the first quarter that a portion of the load in drawn

9. Table 3, Col. H is calculated as follows: A x (B +C)

A. Loan amount in line 1 less the amount drawn down in the prior quarter

B. Annual dollar amount fees on lines 11 throught 13 divided by 4

C. Percentage dollar amounts divided by 1000

10. 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

11. The interest rate in line 16 for the corresponding year is used in Appendix A line 91 until the project financing is obtained. Thereafter the interst rate in line 2 is used on Appendix A line 91

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 OATTNY 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”).  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 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. 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.[4]

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 November 30 of the preceding Rate Year, or the next business day if November 30 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 Year[5] 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 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 material 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 true-up worksheet.

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 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.”

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 with (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”).  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;[6]

(ii)Shall provide notice of 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 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 errors and prior period adjustments, (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, in NY Transco’s reasonable judgment, 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, in NY Transco’s reasonable judgment, could impact the Formula Rate or the calculations under the Formula Rate within the next three years.

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

(iv)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

(v)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).

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. 

g.Example Timeline for 2015 Annual Update:

On or before September 30, 2013, NY Transco will determine the projected Net Adjusted Revenue Requirement for the 2014 Rate 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 2014 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, 2014 if no costs have been recovered under the Formula Rate during 2013.  On or before September 30, 2014, NY Transco will post the Annual Projection for the 2015 Rate Year.  On or before August 1, 2015, NY Transco will post its first Annual Update, consisting of the True-up Adjustment for the 2014 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 2016 Rate Year posted on or before September 30, 2015.  The Annual Update posted August 1, 2015 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 challenges related to Accounting Changes, to the Annual Update (“Preliminary Challenge”).  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.

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, prudently incurred, 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; and (iv) the Formula Rate has been applied according to its terms, including the procedures in these Protocols.  Information requests shall not solicit information concerning costs or allocations where the costs or allocation methods have been determined to be appropriate by FERC in the context of prior NY Transco Annual Updates, except that such information requests shall be permitted if they (i) seek to determine if there has been a change in circumstances, (ii) are in connection with corrections pursuant to Section 6, or (iii) relate to costs or allocations that have not previously been challenged and adjudicated by FERC.   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.

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. 

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.

d.Preliminary Challenges, or Formal Challenges as described in Section 5 below, related to Accounting Changes shall be treated in the same manner under these Protocols as other challenges to the Annual Update.  Failure to make a Preliminary Challenge with respect to an Accounting Change in an Annual Update shall not act as a bar with respect to a Formal Challenge with respect to that Annual Update, nor shall such failure bar a subsequent Preliminary Challenge related to a subsequent Annual Update to the extent such Accounting Change affects the 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)(ii) 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, pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 385.206 (“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.

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 demonstrate the justness and reasonableness of the rate resulting from its application of the Formula Rate by demonstrating that it has reasonably and accurately calculated the Annual Update and/or reasonably adopted and applied the Accounting Change.

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 50% 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.

(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, NY Transco shall ensure that no AFUDC will be accrued under the associated FPN.

(iv)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 ReportingFor 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.
