I.D No. PSC-14-13-00008-P

Consolidated Edison Proposes to Use Data from a Test Period Ending June 30, 2012 to Support its January 25, 2013 Rate Filing

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 the motion of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. for a waiver of the 150-day rule set forth in the Commission's "Statement of Policy on Test Periods in Major Rate Proceedings" in a major steam rate case.

Statutory authority:

Public Service Law, sections 4(1), 79(1) and 80(10)

Subject:

Consolidated Edison proposes to use data from a test period ending June 30, 2012 to support its January 25, 2013 rate filing.

Purpose:

To ensure there is a reasonable basis for data submitted in support of a request for a change in rates.

Substance of proposed rule:

The Commission is considering whether to adopt, modify, or reject, in whole or in part, the request of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. as set forth in a motion dated January 25, 2013, seeking a waiver of the applicable test period as established by the Commission’s “Statement of Policy on Test Periods In Major Rate Proceedings.” Consolidated Edison seeks to extend the requirement that a test period supporting a major steam rate filing end no later than 150 days prior to the filing by 60 days in order that it may proceed despite a delay in filing attributable to Superstorm Sandy.
