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 a petition filed on April 15, 2016 by Con Edison and O&R to extend the deadline under which the Companies are required to perform third-party assessments of their protection of Customer Personally Identifiable Information.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
To delay Companies' third-party assessments of customer personally identifiable information until 2018.
Purpose:
To extend the time period between the Companies' third-party assessments of customer personally identifiable information.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering an April 15, 2016 petition by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (“Con Edison”) and Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (“O&R”) to change the timeframe under which the Commission requires Con Edison and O&R to perform third-party assessments of their handling and protection of Customer Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Each utility is required to have a third-party assess the utility’s protection and handling of Customer PII annually. The Companies are requesting that the Commission allow them to submit the next assessment in 2018, instead of 2017, and to evaluate in 2018 if a longer timeframe between assessments is appropriate. The Commission is considering whether to adopt, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the relief proposed and may resolve related matters.
