The Commission, on April 19, 2012 adopted an order denying New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG) and Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation's request for rehearing of the Order issued November 18, 2011, which provided that customer credits compensating ratepayers for shortfalls in merger electric capital expenditures be reversed, because the customer credits were not adopted retroactively, are not a penalty, are not offset by benefits, and should not otherwise be excused; NYSEG's request for clarification is granted in part, to provide for the proper treatment of costs in evaluating its compliance with net plant targets for retaining a deferral for the benefit of shareholders, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the order.

No changes.
