8/3/11 N.Y. St. Reg. PSC-31-11-00014-P
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 NYSERDA's request to modify the December 23, 2009 Order in Case 07-M-0548 with respect to the requirement that NYSERDA file a refrigerator measurement and verification plan, including sampling size and methods.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 4(1), 5(2) and 66(1)
Subject:
Proposed elimination of requirement for NYSERDA to conduct a refrigerator measurement and verification study.
Purpose:
To promote electric and gas energy conservation programs in New York.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering whether to adopt, modify, or reject, in whole or in part, or to take any other action regarding a request by New York State Energy Research and Development Authority's (NYSERDA) to modify the December 23, 2009 Order on Rehearing Denying in Part and Granting in Part Petition for Rehearing in Case 07-M-0548. That Order directed NYSERDA to submit a measurement and verification plan for the refrigerator replacement portion of its Multifamily Performance Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (EEPS) program and to report the results of that plan one year from the issuance of the Order. NYSERDA now requests to be relieved of the requirement to perform the study based on already approved modifications to the Technical Manual and the level of market-rate customer participation.
