Implementation of E-DPAs
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 proposal filed by Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R) to implement a voluntary electronic deferred payment agreement (e-DPA) program.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 37 and 66(12)
Subject:
Implementation of e-DPAs.
Purpose:
To consider a proposal to implement e-DPAs.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering a proposal filed by Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R) on June 14, 2019, to implement a voluntary electronic deferred payment agreement (e-DPA) program.
On March 14, 2019, the Commission issued the Order Adopting Terms of Joint Proposal and Establishing Electric and Gas Rate Plans in this case, which, among other things, approved O&R’s proposal to establish an e-DPA program. Under the proposal, customers who enter into a DPA with the Company – either online, on the telephone, or in person, will have the opportunity to review and sign their DPA electronically. The e-DPA program will provide customers an additional option to the current method of sending written DPAs through standard mail.
The full text of the proposal 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.
