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 to grant, deny or modify, in whole or part, a petition by The State University of New York (SUNY) requesting exemption from mandatory assignment of LDC pipeline capacity for SUNY's core accounts.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 2(10), (11), 5(1)(b), 66(1), (2) and (12)
Subject:
Whether SUNY's core accounts should be exempt from the mandatory assignment of local distribution company (LDC) capacity.
Purpose:
Whether SUNY's core accounts should be exempt from the mandatory assignment of local distribution company (LDC) capacity.
Substance of proposed rule:
By petition filed March 20, 2009, The State University of New York (SUNY) seeks an exemption for its core accounts from the mandatory assignment of local distribution company (LDC) gas pipeline capacity set forth by the New York State Public Service Commission (Commission) in its “Order on Capacity Release Programs” issued August 30, 2007 in Case 07-G-0299. Specifically, the petitioner requests that the Commission issue a Declaratory Ruling establishing that, upon demonstration by SUNY and/or its marketer(s) that natural gas procured by SUNY will be delivered on a primary firm point-to-point non-recallable basis to the LDC city gate, or that such load is backed by an alternative fuel option, such supply is not subject to the mandatory capacity release requirements set forth by the Commission in its “Order on Capacity Release Programs”. The Commission is considering whether to grant, deny or modify, in whole or in part, the requested exemption from the mandatory assignment of LDC capacity for SUNY’s core customers.
