PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Commission is considering a Notice of Intent from Huntley Power LLC to retire the 436 MW Huntley Units 67 and 68 located in Tonawanda, NY as of March 1, 2016.

Subject:
Proposal to retire Huntley Units 67 and 68 on March 1, 2016.
Purpose:
Consider the proposed retirement of Huntley Units 67 and 68.
Substance of proposed rule:
The New York State Public Service Commission is considering a Notice of Intent to retire Huntley Units 67 and 68 (Retirement Notice) filed by Huntley Power, LLC (Huntley), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc. The Retirement Notice asserts that Huntley electric generating Units 67 and 68 are uneconomic to operate, and are not expected to be economic. Accordingly, Huntley proposes to deactivate and retire both units on March 1, 2016. Huntley will provide further notice if changed circumstances lead the company to continue operating one or both units after the proposed retirement date. The Commission may adopt, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the relief proposed and may resolve related matters.
