2/14/07 N.Y. St. Reg. PSC-07-07-00011-P
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed action:
The Public Service Commission is considering whether to approve or reject, in whole or in part, a proposal filed by Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R) to make various changes in the rates, charges, rules and regulations contained in its schedule for electric service, P.S.C. No. 2, to become effective April 20, 2007.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 66(12)
Subject:
Installation of electric facilities.
Purpose:
To provide builders/applicants with a cost effective alternate to upgrading services in place.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc.'s (O&R's) request to provide builders/applicants requesting facilities in excess of those normally provided by O&R with the option to pay O&R to construct such excess facilities rather than installing themselves the internal wiring and/or equipment in the premises to accomplish the same objective. The proposed filing will provide builders/applicants with a cost effective alternative to upgrading services in place and to ensure that the costs associated with requests for additional services are allocated to and recovered from those customers that are causing O&R to incur such costs. O&R's filing has a proposed effective date of April 20, 2007. The Commission may approve, reject or modify, in whole or in part, O&R's request.
