206 of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C.

(2015). The Commission found that,

unreasonable, and that the potentially
unjust and unreasonable Tariff language
could be remedied with certain
revisions. The Commission required
MISO to make a filing either to (1)
report whether it will propose Tariff
changes as suggested by the
Commission or (2) explain why such
changes are not necessary. Take notice
that, on August 17, 2015, MISO
submitted a filing in response to the
Commission’s directive.

opportunity for other parties to
comment on the Commission’s
preliminary findings in the section 206
proceeding in Docket No. EL15–68–000,
as well as MISO’s response to the
Commission’s directive. Any person
desiring to comment must file in
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of
the Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214).
Comments will be considered by the
Commission in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but
intervention is necessary to become a
party to the proceeding.
The Commission encourages

lieu of paper using the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at
