VIA ELECTRONIC SERVICE

Honorable Kathleen H. Burgess, Secretary

New York State Department of Public Service

3 Empire State Plaza, 19th

Floor

Albany, NY 12223

Dear Secretary Burgess:

In accordance with the New York State Electric & Gas Corporation ("NYSEG" or the

"Company") Gas Tariff (PSC 90, Leaf No. 86, Section 10. Conditions of Gas Service,

Provision J), the Company hereby advises the New York State Public Service Commission

("PSC" or the "Commission") that it is unable to accept additional applications for gas service

from new or existing customers in portions of the Ithaca franchise area.

The Company continues to receive requests for incremental natural gas services from both new

and existing customers in its Ithaca franchise area. Due to current pressures on the distribution

system on cold weather days and design-day predicted pressures in the Lansing area, NYSEG

cannot provide the requested incremental natural gas service at this time. The area where

NYSEG cannot provide incremental service is in the Town of Lansing as bounded by the lake

on the west and NYS Route 13 on the south. This area is shown on the attached figure.

NYSEG started work in 2014 on the Lansing/Freeville reinforcement project along West

Dryden Road. NYSEG is actively working on obtaining easements from residents along West

Dryden Road. To date, NYSEG has obtained approximately half of the required 100

easements. The residents own to the centerline of the road and many residents have denied

NYSEG the requested 15 wide easement. The project includes 7 miles of 10 distribution main along West Dryden Road, a new regulator station at Warren Road to connect to

NYSEGs existing distribution system, and a rebuild of Dominion Transmissions Freeville Gate Station serving NYSEG. NYSEG did consider other reinforcement options prior to this

project and is currently re-evaluating based on the possible need for condemnations along West

Dryden Road. NYSEG will continue to consider all available options in an effort to

accommodate future service requests.

Honorable Kathleen H. Burgess, Secretary Page 2

The Company will keep PSC Staff informed of any further developments regarding requests

for new or increased gas service.

Respectfully submitted,

Mark O. Marini
