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 two Petitions requesting rehearing, from Durst Organization, Inc. and the Utilities, of the April 20, 2015 Order Continuing and Expanding the Standby Rate Exemption.

Statutory authority:

Public Service Law, sections 22, 64, 65(1), (2), (3), (5), 66(1), (2), (5), (8), (9), (10) and (12)

Subject:

Petitions for rehearing of the April 20, 2015 Order Continuing and Expanding the Standby Rate Exemption.

Purpose:

To consider Petitions for rehearing of the April 20, 2015 Order Continuing and Expanding the Standby Rate Exemption.

Substance of proposed rule:

The Public Service Commission is considering two Petitions filed on May 20, 2015, from Durst Organization, Inc. (Durst) and Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc., Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid, New York State Gas & Electric Corporation, Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation, (collectively, the Utilities), requesting rehearing of the April 20, 2015 Order Continuing and Expanding the Standby Rate Exemption in Case 14-E-0488. Although both petitions request rehearing of the decision to make the standby rate exemption available to larger, new facilities, Durst asks that pre-existing facilities be eligible for the exemption while the utilities maintain larger facilities should be ineligible. The Commission may adopt, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the relief proposed and may resolve related matters.
