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 an April 2, 2012 petition from Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. in Case 07-M-0548 for modifications to its EEPS Small Business Direct Install Program.

Statutory authority:

Public Service Law, sections 4(1), 5(2) and 66(1)

Subject:

EEPS programs administered by Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc.

Purpose:

To modify the EEPS Small Business Direct Install Program.

Substance of proposed rule:

The Commission is considering whether to adopt, modify, or reject, in whole or in part, or to take other action regarding a filing submitted on April 2, 2012 by Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R) to modify its Small Business Direct Install Program within their EEPS portfolio.

Orange and Rockland seeks to modify its existing Small Business Direct Install (SBDI) Program by increasing the customer eligibility from 100kw up to 110kW.

The Commission may apply its decision here to other utilities and/or the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. In addition, Commission action on this matter may result in modifications to the Energy Efficiency Portfolio Program Classification Groups.
