I.D No. PSC-21-12-00007-P
SAFE-T Program
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 reviewing the selection by pole owners and cost of an alternative program for implementation of the Standardized Facility and Equipment Transfer Program (SAFE-T Program).
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 2(12), (18), 4(1) and 5(1)
Subject:
SAFE-T Program.
Purpose:
To review the selection by pole owners and cost of an alternative program for implementation of the SAFE-T Program.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is reviewing the selection by pole owners and cost of an alternative program for implementation of the Standardized Facility and Equipment Transfer Program (SAFE-T Program). The Commission, on May 19, 2011 adopted an Order approving the implementation of a standardized facility and equipment transfer (SAFE-T) program for all pole owners and attaching entities, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the order. The pole owners and the software provider they selected were, however, unable to reach agreement on the terms of the program offered by the provider for an initial period at no cost. As a result, the pole owners determined to utilize the program offered by their provider of second choice and in order to expedite initiation of the SAFE-T program, to initially allocate the cost equally among themselves. The Commission may approve, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the implementation of the alternative program selected by the pole owners.
