The New York PSC denied requests to hold a proceeding concerning proposed changes to the uniform business practices in abeyance, but did grant a limited one-week extension in the deadline for filing comments.

Specifically, with respect to comments concerning a March 8 notice proposing various changes to the UBPs, the PSC's Secretary extended the deadline from May 8 to May 15

The Secretary denied broader requests for the proceeding to be held in abeyance or for a month's extension in the comment filing deadline

As previously reported, the proposed changes in the UBPs include:

• Requiring That All ESCO Mass Market Sales Be Subject To TPV (Internet, Mailer, Etc.)

• Requiring ESCOs To Direct Customers To Compare Rate To Utility's Rate On Bill

• Requiring ESCOs To Ask All Customers If They Are On A Low-Income Program

• Requiring ESCOs To Offer Budget Billing

• Prohibiting ESCOs From Acting As Customer Agent For Enrollment, Switch Purposes
