NYS Register/October 21, 2026 Public Service Commission PROPOSED RULE MAKING NO HEARING(S) SCHEDULED Waiver of Tariff Rules and a Related Commission Regulation I.D. No. PSC-42-26-00004-P PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Pro- cedureAct, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule: Proposed Action: The Commission is considering a petition by Rush- Henrietta Development, LLC for waiver of Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid’s tariff rules and a related regulation regarding the extension of electric lines. Statutory authority: Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66 Subject: Waiver of tariff rules and a related Commission regulation. Purpose: To consider whether a waiver of tariff rules and a Commission regulation are just and reasonable and in the public interest. Substance of proposed rule: The Public Service Commission (Commis- sion) is considering a petition filed on September 28, 2026, by Rush- Henrietta Development, LLC (Petitioner), requesting a one-year extension of the five-year period required by Commission regulation and applicable utility tariffs for the Petitioner to energize residential housing units for Southern View Estates, Section 2 located on Marissa Beth Way, adjacent to #1120 Rush-Henrietta Townline Road located in West Henrietta, Monroe County, New York (Development) to recover deposits held by utilities (Development Period). The Commission’s regulations at Title 16 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations (NYCRR) § 100.3, provide that a non-residing applicant for utility service must provide a deposit to the utility equal to the estimated cost of construction. National Grid’s electric tariff, PSC 220 Rule 16.6, incorporates the Commission’s regulation. National Grid’s gas tariff, PSC 219, Rule 10.4 provides substantially similar requirements for non-residing applicants requesting the exten- sion of gas facilities. The deposit is returned to the applicant, on a pro rata basis, as each lot is sold and new customers take service from the utility. Sixteen NYCRR § 100.3(b) provides that any portion of the deposit remaining unrefunded five years after the date the utility is first ready to render service shall be retained by the utility. National Grid has been ready to supply the Development with electric and gas service since January 28, 2022. National Grid states the Petitioner provided National Grid with a letter of credit for the refundable portion of the contribution totaling $32,016 and the remain- ing balance as of September 1, 2026, is $8,004. The five-year develop- ment period will expire on January 28,
