Gas Safety Performance Measures and Associated Negative Revenue Adjustments

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

Proposed Action:

Consideration of a KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid proposal for modification of Gas Safety Performance Measures.

Statutory authority:

Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66

Subject:

Gas Safety Performance Measures and associated negative revenue adjustments.

Purpose:

To update the performance measures applicable to KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid.

Substance of proposed rule:

The Public Service Commission is considering a proposal filed by KeySpan Gas East Corp. d/b/a Brooklyn Union of L.I. (KEDLI) to modify and update its applicable Gas Safety Performance Measures. KEDLI’s March 17, 2015 proposal was filed in compliance with the Commission’s December 15, 2014 Order Directing Investments and Allowing, in Part, Deferral Authority for Costs Associated with Incremental Capital Expenditures and Establishing a Surcharge (Order) in Case 14-G-0214. In that Order, the Commission granted KEDLI the ability to implement a surcharge and defer costs in exchange for certain conditions including an update to KEDLI’s gas safety performance measures that had not been modified since 2007. The Commission ordered KEDLI to file a proposal to assist the Commission in determining specific modifications to make to the applicable measures. The Commission may adopt, reject or modify KEDLI’s proposal in whole or in part, and may also consider other related matters.
