Settlement Agreement and Establishment of Comment Dates

    Take notice that on September 21, 2009, pursuant to Rule 602 of the

Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG), Niagara Mohawk

[[Page 53493]]

Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid (National Grid), and the New York 
Municipal Power Agency (NYMPA) (collectively, settling parties) filed a 
partial offer of settlement (Settlement Agreement) in Docket Nos. EL09-
26-000 and EL09-26-001. The Settlement Agreement seeks to resolve 
several issues arising out of NYSEG's December 23, 2008 petition for a 
declaratory order regarding invoices issued by the New York Independent 
System Operator (NYISO) between 1999 and 2008 to market participants, 
in certain NYSEG and National Grid metering subzones that were affected 
by metering errors. The invoices at issue are identified in Appendices 
5 and 6 of the Joint Stipulation of Facts Not in Dispute which is 
attached to the Settlement Agreement. The settling parties assert that 
they were unable to reach an agreement on whether the Commission should 
order NYISO to correct the invoices affected by the metering errors 
during the period in question (reserved issue).
    The settling parties have agreed to present the reserved issue to 
the Commission for determination and have also requested that the 
Commission allow comments on the Settlement Agreement and permit briefs 
to be filed on the reserved issue.
    Parties may submit comments on the Settlement Agreement within 30 
days of the date of the issuance of this Notice and parties may submit 
reply comments within 40 days of the date of the issuance of this 
Notice.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commission's establishment of a comment and briefing 
period in the above captioned proceedings does not prejudge how the 
Commission may ultimately rule on the Settlement Agreement pending 
before us.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Parties may submit initial briefs on the reserved issue within 45 
days of the date of the issuance of this Notice and parties may submit 
reply briefs within 15 days of the submission of initial briefs.
