PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:

Proposed Action:

Subject:

Whether to grant, modify or deny a petition by Consolidated Edison proposing revisions to its demand response programs.

Purpose:

The Public Service Commission is considering whether to approve, modify or reject, in whole or in part, a revised petition filed on December 17, 2012 by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.
