Environmental Mailing List 

The environmental mailing list 

includes: Federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. This list also includes 

all affected landowners (as defined in 

the Commission’s regulations) who are 

potential right-of-way grantors, whose 

property may be used temporarily for 

project purposes, or who own homes 

within certain distances of aboveground 

facilities, and anyone who submits 

comments on the project. We will 

update the environmental mailing list as 

the analysis proceeds to ensure that we 

send the information related to this 

environmental review to all individuals, 

organizations, and government entities 

interested in and/or potentially affected 

by the proposed project. 

If we publish and distribute the EA, 

copies will be sent to the environmental 

mailing list for public review and 

comment. If you would prefer to receive 

a paper copy of the document instead of 

the CD version or would like to remove 

your name from the mailing list, please 

return the attached Information Request 

(appendix 2). 

Becoming an Intervenor 

In addition to involvement in the EA 

scoping process, you may want to 

become an ‘‘intervenor’’ which is an 

official party to the Commission’s 

proceeding. Intervenors play a more 

formal role in the process and are able 

to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be 

heard by the courts if they choose to 

appeal the Commission’s final ruling. 

An intervenor formally participates in 

the proceeding by filing a request to 

intervene. Instructions for becoming an 

intervenor are in the User’s Guide under 

the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the Commission’s 

Web site.

Joint FERC–NYPSC Technical 

Conference on New York Markets & 

Infrastructure 

Docket No. AD14–18–000 

November 5, 2014 

Preliminary Agenda 

8:00 a.m.–9:00 a.m. Registration 

9:00 a.m.–9:30 a.m. Opening remarks by 

Commissioners 

9:30 a.m.–10:15 a.m. NYISO and 

Independent Market Monitor 

presentation 

NYISO and the Independent Market 

Monitor will report on the recent 

performance of NYISO’s capacity 

market. NYISO will also describe 

current initiatives it is undertaking, and 

hurdles it is facing, as it seeks to 

improve performance of its capacity 

market to attract adequate investment in 

resources and infrastructure to 

efficiently meet New York State’s 

reliability/resource adequacy needs. 

NYISO will provide information on 

recent investments made in resources 

and infrastructure through NYISO’s 

markets and transmission planning 

efforts, and discuss the implementation 

of the new capacity zone in the Lower 

Hudson Valley. NYISO will provide a 

brief update on preparedness for the 

upcoming winter. Finally, the 

Independent Market Monitor will 

provide its recommendations for 

improved performance of NYISO’s 

capacity market. 

10:15 a.m.–12:15 p.m. Panel One: 

Assessing the performance of 

NYISO’s capacity market design in 

attracting investment in resources 

and infrastructure to meet 

reliability/resource adequacy needs 

This session will discuss the role of 

NYISO’s capacity market in attracting 

investment in both resources and 

infrastructure in order to meet New 

York State’s reliability and/or resource 

adequacy needs. In particular, panelists 

should discuss the particular capacity 

market design features that encourage 

merchant investment in resources and 

infrastructure. Panelists will be asked to 

discuss how the capacity market is 

addressing local and state-wide resource 

adequacy and reliability issues at just 

and reasonable rates. Finally, panelists 

should discuss what changes, if any, 

should be considered going forward to 

improve the performance of NYISO’s 

capacity market. 

Panelists should be prepared to 

discuss the following questions: 

a. How do particular market design 

features impact infrastructure 

investment decisions by merchant 

entities? How can these market design 

aspects best address the interests of both 

buyers and sellers? How do buyer-side 

mitigation measures affect investment? 

Should the NYISO capacity market 

provide a longer revenue certainty 

period (e.g., 3, 5, or 10 years)? Does the 

existing NYISO capacity market 

appropriately incent investment as 

compared with three-year forward 

market designs in other capacity 

markets (e.g., PJM, ISO–NE)? Are longterm bilateral contracts a feasible 

alternative procurement mechanism for 

New York (e.g., California model)? 

b. Are changes to NYISO’s capacity 

market necessary to better ensure 

resource performance during peak 

demand conditions (summer or winter)? 

c. Why are Reliability Support 

Services (RSS) needed? What is the 

effect of RSS agreements on the ability 

of the NYISO capacity market to 

efficiently meet the intended goal of 

incentivizing investment in resources 

and infrastructure? Are there other 

market and infrastructure impacts of the 

use of RSS agreements? 

d. How does NYISO coordinate its 

planning processes and its capacity 

market? Are there possible 

improvements in the coordination 

efforts?
