Authority's Tariff for Electric Service ("Tariff")
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Authority is considering a proposal to modify its Tariff for Electric Service to authorize the billing of securitization charges; restructure the Energy Efficiency Cost Recovery Rate; update Delivery Charges and make miscellaneous changes.
Statutory authority:
Public Authorities Law, section 1020-f(z) and (u)
Subject:
Authority's Tariff for Electric Service ("Tariff").
Purpose:
To authorize the billing of securitization charges; restructure and update rates and charges and make miscellaneous changes.
Public hearing(s) will be held at:
10:00 a.m., Feb. 3, 2014 at H. Lee Dennison Bldg., 100 Veterans Memorial Hwy., Hauppauge, NY; and 2:00 p.m., Feb. 3, 2014 at Long Island Power Authority, 333 Earle Ovington Blvd., 4th Fl., Uniondale, NY.
Interpreter Service:
Interpreter services will be made available to hearing impaired persons, at no charge, upon written request submitted within reasonable time prior to the scheduled public hearing. The written request must be addressed to the agency representative designated in the paragraph below.
Accessibility:
All public hearings have been scheduled at places reasonably accessible to persons with a mobility impairment.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Long Island Power Authority (“Authority”) is considering a proposal to modify its Tariff for Electric Service (“Tariff”), effective March 1, 2014, to: (1) authorize the billing of securitization charges on behalf of the Utility Debt Securitization Authority; (2) restructure the Energy Efficiency Cost Recovery Rate: (3) update Delivery Charges consistent with the approved LIPA budget for 2014; and (4) to make miscellaneous changes that more closely align LIPA’s tariff with current PSC policies.
LIPA’s approved budget for 2014 incorporates a level of revenues that assumes no increase in rates, other than changes to the Power Supply Charge (also known as the Fuel and Purchased Power Cost Adjustment). As presented in the budget, however, a number of revenue-neutral changes are required to accommodate aspects of the LIPA Reform Act of 2013, accomplish the rate freeze for 2014, and bring the Tariff more into line with Public Service Commission policies for the regulated, investor-owned, utilities. These proposed changes will not materially change the rates paid by customers in the affected rate classes.
The Authority may approve, modify, or reject, in whole or part, the proposal.
Text of proposed rule and any required statements and analyses may be obtained from:
John Little, Long Island Power Authority, 333 Earle Ovington Blvd., Suite 403, Uniondale, NY 11553, (516) 222-7700, email: [email protected]

Same as above.
Public comment will be received until:
Five days after the last scheduled public hearing.
