4/29/09 N.Y. St. Reg. PSC-17-09-00018-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 adding new data segments to the TS810 Invoice - Utility Bill Ready Transaction Standard to enable energy service companies to transmit certain budget bill data to the utility for presentation on customers bills.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 5(2)
Subject:
Rules and guidelines for the exchange of retail access data between jurisdictional utilities and eligible ESCO/Marketers.
Purpose:
To maintain uniform statewide Electronic Data Interchange Standards and business practices.
Substance of proposed rule:
In it's Opinion and Order No. 01-03 (Approving Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Data Standards and Data Protocols and Modifying the New York Uniform Business Practices for EDI Implementation), the Commission directed the development of EDI transaction standards necessary to support retail access billing and payment processing practices as described in various orders in Case 98-M-1343.
On June 21, 2002, the Commission issued an order in this proceeding entitled "Order Approving Electronic Data Interchange Transactions for Utility Bill Ready and Rate Ready Billing." In that order, the Commission approved an EDI Implementation Guide for the 810 Invoice - Utility Bill Ready Billing (contained in Supplement A). This Notice pertains to the need to modify the 810 Invoice - Utility Bill Ready Transaction Set Standard to add two new BAL segments and modify two existing BAL segments. These data segments would be used by energy service companies (ESCOs) to transmit to the distribution utility budget bill data for presentation on the ESCO portion of the customers' consolidated bill.
The proposed modifications are described in draft version 1.2 of the 810 Invoice - Utility Bill Ready Implementation Guide prepared by Staff.
