    Revisions to General Information Section 15 to Allow Recovery of Certain NYISO Tariff Charges Related to Transmission Projects
    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 proposal filed by Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. to make revisions to P.S.C. No. 3 — Electricity, General Information section No. 15 — Market Supply Charge to allow collection of certain charges imposed by the NYISO.
    Statutory authority:
    Public Service Law, section 66(12)
    Subject:
    Revisions to General Information section 15 to allow recovery of certain NYISO tariff charges related to transmission projects.
    Purpose:
    To consider revisions to General Information section No. 15 to allow for recovery of certain NYISO charges.
    Substance of proposed rule:
    The Commission is considering a proposal filed by Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R or the Company) to make revisions to P.S.C. No. 3 — Electricity, General Information Section No. 15 — Market Supply Charge (MSC) to allow for recovery of certain New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) charges. O&R proposes to add components to the MSC to allow the Company to recover transmission charges billed by the NYISO related to Commission approved transmission projects and for transmission projects that may be approved in the future. These include NY Transco charges, transmission projects approved by the Commission in Case 12-E-0503 (Transmission Owner Transmission Solutions (TOTS) charges) and projects approved by the Commission in Case 13-E-0488 (AC Transmission). The proposed tariff changes also address how the charges would be billed (that is, on a per-kilowatt hour basis). The proposed amendments have an effective date of December 27, 2015. The Commission may grant, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the proposed tariff changes and may resolve related matters.
