					 another R/W when such utility elects to use another R/W for the construction of
					 distribution lines in lieu of constructing facilities in a public R/W) used by
					 such utility for supplying electricity to its customers. If adequate
					 maintenance requires the reconstruction or replacement of such facilities, they
					 shall be reconstructed or replaced by the utility responsible for maintenance
					 as hereinbefore provided.

New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 16 - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE › Chapter II - ELECTRIC UTILITIES › Subchapter A - Service › Part 99 - New Construction Of Distribution Lines, Service Lines, And Appurtenant Facilities In Certain Visually Significant Resources Outside Residential Subdivisions › Section 99.1 - Applicability

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The
				  requirements of section
				  99.2(a) 
				  of this Part apply to the new construction of distribution lines, service lines
				  and appurtenant facilities (other than pursuant to either the provisions of
				  Part 100 of this Title that require underground construction, or to the
				  requirement of any other governmental authority having jurisdiction to require
				  underground construction) on public and private land in VSRs where an agency
				  referred to in section
				  99.2(h) 
				  of this section:
(1) has no statutory
				  authority to require the underground construction of a particular distribution
				  line, service line or appurtenant facility; and
(2) has supplied to the affected utility(ies)
				  and to the commission a map of the particular VSR (at a scale appropriate to
				  such VSR) showing its boundaries in sufficient detail to permit the utility to
				  comply with the requirements of this Part.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 16 - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE › Chapter II - ELECTRIC UTILITIES › Subchapter A - Service › Part 99 - New Construction Of Distribution Lines, Service Lines, And Appurtenant Facilities In Certain Visually Significant Resources Outside Residential Subdivisions › Section 99.2 - Procedures and requirements

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Each
				  utility shall allocate annually to a VSR undergrounding fund an amount equal to
				  the greater of:
(1) the average of its annual
				  expenditures on the underground installation of new underground distribution
				  lines, service lines or appurtenant facilities within residential subdivisions
				  for the years 1985, 1986 and 1987; or
(2) 0.14 percent of its 1987 sales to
				  ultimate customers. The amount to be allocated to the fund shall be adjusted
				  for inflation each year according to the Handy-Whitman Index. The amount in the
				  fund is the company's maximum obligation in a given year. Each utility shall
				  install or provide for the installation of new underground distribution lines,
				  service lines or appurtenant facilities under this Part unless it has expended
				  its maximum obligation in a given year. Each utility shall spend up to such
				  maximum obligation on the cost of installing such facilities underground that
				  exceeds what an applicant for a line extension would have paid for facilities
				  had the area not been designated as a VSR.
Note:For example, for a 120-foot line of single phase
					 service to a residential applicant in a VSR, with an overhead construction cost
					 per foot of $5 and underground construction cost per foot of $20, the total
					 cost of overhead construction would be $600 and undergrounding $2400. Overhead
					 construction with a 500-foot allowance would cost the utility $600 ($5.00 per
					 foot times 120 feet) and the applicant would pay nothing. If the utility had
					 not spent its maximum obligation and undergrounding is appropriate, the utility
					 would pay a total of $2,400 from the VSR maximum obligation fund. The applicant
					 would pay nothing.
Note:For a 700-foot line, under the same circumstances
					 assuming the same costs, the total cost of overhead construction with a
					 500-foot allowance would cost the utility $2500 ($5.00 per foot times 500 feet)
					 and the applicant would pay $1,000 ($5.00 per foot times 200 feet). If the
					 utility had not spent its maximum obligation, and undergrounding was
					 appropriate, the utility would pay a total of $13,000 from the maximum
					 obligation fund. The applicant would pay $1,000.
If a utility spends in excess of its maximum obligation in
					 a particular year, the excess shall reduce its maximum obligation of the
					 following year by the amount of such excess. After a utility spends its maximum
					 obligation in a particular year, additional VSR undergrounding is not required
					 in that year. If a utility does not spend its maximum obligation in a given
					 year, any unspent portion shall be carried over to the next year.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 16 - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE › Chapter II - ELECTRIC UTILITIES › Subchapter A - Service › Part 100 - New Construction Of Distribution Lines, Service Lines And Appurtenant Facilities In Residential Subdivisions › Section 100.1 - New construction of underground facilities in residential subdivisions

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) This Part
				  applies to the new construction of distribution lines, service lines and
				  appurtenant facilities within residential subdivisions. Nothing in this Part
				  shall be construed to compromise the ability of a state or local agency to
				  require underground facilities in the exercise of its land use or environmental
				  protection authority.
(b) Any
				  distribution line, service line and appurtenant facilities necessary to furnish
				  permanent electric service to one or more multiple occupancy buildings
				  (including four or more dwelling units) shall be installed underground and any
				  such facilities necessary to furnish permanent electric service within a
				  residential subdivision in which it is planned to build five or more new
				  residential buildings shall be installed underground if:
(1) the residential subdivision will require
				  no more than 200 trench feet of facilities per dwelling unit planned within the
				  residential subdivision; or
(2) a
				  utility's tariff provides for such underground service without contribution;
				  or
(3) a governmental authority
				  having jurisdiction to do so has required undergrounding; or
(4) an applicant requests undergrounding.
Note:The number of dwelling units is the criterion to be
					 used to determine whether installation is required to be underground. In order
					 to ascertain the number of dwelling units, it is necessary to consult the
					 approved subdivision map to determine how dwelling units are planned. Each lot
					 shown on the map should, in the case of a single family dwelling, be considered
					 to contain one dwelling unit unless there is sufficient contrary evidence to
					 render it unlikely that each lot will contain a separate dwelling unit (e.g., a
					 foundation is constructed occupying two lots). The measurement of trench
					 footage should be the shortest distance required to serve the homes within the
					 residential subdivision, consistent with the utility's obligation to provide
					 safe and adequate service.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The connection
				  from the existing electric distribution system to the underground distribution
				  lines installed within the applicant's residential subdivision shall be made in
				  accordance with the following requirements:
(1) a utility may, at its discretion and
				  expense, install or provide for the installation of lengths of underground
				  supply line in addition to that portion which is required to be provided
				  without contribution to applicants pursuant to section
				  98.2 
				  of this Title; and
(2) where any
				  part of a supply line in excess of the footage requirements of section
				  98.2 
				  of this Title is to be placed overhead, an applicant must submit a written
				  application to the utility at least 75 days prior to the projected commencement
				  of the construction of the supply line, and the utility must report such
				  projected construction to the commission no later than 45 days before such
				  construction is commenced, the commission reserving the right to require the
				  underground installation of particular lines, on the basis of the relevant
				  economic, engineering, or environmental factors.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 16 - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE › Chapter II - ELECTRIC UTILITIES › Subchapter A - Service › Part 100 - New Construction Of Distribution Lines, Service Lines And Appurtenant Facilities In Residential Subdivisions › Section 100.3 - Deposits by applicants

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) In
				  order to guarantee performance, a utility may require from a nonresiding
				  applicant before construction is commenced a deposit equal to the estimated
				  cost of construction. This deposit is in addition to the applicant's payment of
				  its share of costs for installation and such deposit shall be returned to the
				  applicant with interest, at the rate specified by the commission for interest
				  on deposits, on a pro rata basis as each new customer is connected with service
				  from the utility.
(b) Any portion
				  of the deposit remaining unrefunded five years after the date the utility is
				  first ready to render service from the underground electric distribution lines
				  shall be retained by the utility and credited to the appropriate plant
				  accounts.
(c) Upon the mutual
				  agreement of both a utility and an applicant, a bond may be posted in lieu of
				  any deposit.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Each
				  applicant shall cooperate with the utility providing service in an effort to
				  keep the cost of the construction and installation of underground electric
				  distribution lines, service lines and appurtenant facilities as low as
				  possible, consistent with requirements for safe and adequate service, including
				  reasonable provision for load growth and requirements of Part 101 of this
				  Title.
(b) The utility may require
				  that all sewers, water facilities, drainage facilities, and curbs be installed
				  before it commences construction within a residential subdivision.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 16 - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE › Chapter II - ELECTRIC UTILITIES › Subchapter A - Service › Part 100 - New Construction Of Distribution Lines, Service Lines And Appurtenant Facilities In Residential Subdivisions › Section 100.5 - Special conditions

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) This
				  section governs the new construction of distribution lines, service lines and
				  appurtenant facilities performed pursuant to this Part.
(b) In unusual circumstances when the
				  application of this Part appears impracticable or unjust to either party, or
				  discriminatory to other customers, the utility providing service or the
				  applicant may file a petition, in accordance with the requirements of section
				  3.5 
				  of this Title, for a special ruling or for the approval of special conditions
				  which may be mutually agreed upon before construction is commenced, which
				  petition shall set forth relevant economic, engineering, and environmental
				  factors.
(c) If the utility or the
				  applicant believes that the new construction of underground distribution lines,
				  service lines or appurtenant facilities within a residential subdivision would
				  be less environmentally desirable than the new construction of overhead
				  facilities, it may request that the Secretary of the Commission grant an
				  exception. The request shall be sent to the secretary in accordance with the
				  requirements of section
				  3.5 
				  of this Title. The request shall:
(1) as
				  between overhead and underground construction, compare the probable
				  environmental effects associated with the residential subdivision and any
				  economic, engineering, or other factors considered pertinent to the case by the
				  utility or applicant to be served;
(2) for those instances where visual values
				  would be diminished by underground construction, indicate factors bearing on
				  probable retention of significant flora, including the utility's practice with
				  respect to trimming trees in the vicinity of the overhead facilities;
(3) be mailed to the Adirondack Park Agency,
				  whenever the request will involve construction within the Adirondack Park;
				  and
(4) be reviewed by staff. The
				  secretary shall notify the utility within 60 days of receipt of the request
				  either that the request is granted or that it objects to the request. If staff
				  objects, the request shall be referred to the commission for further review.
				  Requests and petitions shall be granted or denied based on environmental,
				  economic or engineering factors.
