Petroleum Infrastructure Study by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed action:
The Public Service Commission is considering whether and how to modify the tariffs of local distribution companies and/or change the alternate fuel inventory requirements for interruptible gas customers. This matter is being considered as a result of the analysis and conclusions of a petroleum infrastructure study recently filed with the commission by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 2, 5, 65 and 66
Subject:
Modification of utility tariffs and interruptible customer fuel inventory requirements.
Purpose:
To determine whether the results of a recently completed study of petroleum infrastructure indicate a need to modify utility tariffs and fuel inventory requirements for certain customer requirements.
Substance of proposed rule:
In 2003, the Public Service Commission (Commission) directed that a study be performed of the petroleum industry's infrastructure to determine whether and what changes, if any, should be made to the tariffs of local distribution companies and to the requirements imposed on interruptible gas customers for alternate fuel inventories. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority commissioned the study, which was completed and filed with the Commission in September 2006.
The Commission is now considering whether the analysis and conclusions of that study, which may be found on the Commission's web site at http://www.dps.state.ny.us/GasNews.htm under the heading “Case 00-G-0996,” indicate that there is a need for such changes. If it determines that changes are needed, the Commission will also consider what those changes should be and may direct the utilities to modify their tariffs accordingly.
