Transfer of Street Light Facilities
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 by New York State Electric and Gas Corporation for the transfer of certain street lighting facilities to the Town of Thompson, Sullivan County, New York.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 70(1)
Subject:
Transfer of street light facilities.
Purpose:
To consider the transfer of street lighting facilities to the Town of Thompson.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission (Commission) is considering a petition filed by New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG or the Company) on April 28, 2020, requesting the transfer of ownership of its system of street lighting facilities installed throughout the Town of Thompson (the Town) to the Town.
The street lighting facilities consist of a system of street lighting poles, luminaires, lamps, mast arms, electrical connections and wiring (Facilities). NYSEG requests the Commission’s approval of the transaction pursuant to Public Service Law § 70(1), as the original cost of the proposed assets to be transferred is greater than $100,000.
Based on plant records, NYSEG represents that the original book cost of the Facilities is approximately $498,340 and the net book value, as of December 31, 2019, is $163,497. The Company proposes to transfer the ownership of the Facilities to the Town for $322,745. Upon the closing date of the sale, the Town will become solely responsible and liable for the operation, maintenance, and condition of the Facilities. The transfer will not impact the reliability, safety, operation, or maintenance of NYSEG’s electric distribution system.
The full text of the petition and the full record of the proceeding may be reviewed online at the Department of Public Service web page: www.dps.ny.gov. The Commission may adopt, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the action proposed and may resolve related matters.
