By order dated November 24, 2015,1
the Commission directed Commission

in the above-referenced proceedings.
The technical conference is scheduled

allocation method had not been shown
to be just and reasonable and may be
unjust, unreasonable, or unduly
discriminatory or preferential. The
Commission directed its staff to
establish a technical conference to
explore both whether there is a
definable category of reliability projects
within PJM for which the solution-based
DFAX cost allocation method may not
be just and reasonable, such as projects
addressing reliability violations that are
not related to flow on the planned
transmission facility, and whether an
alternative just and reasonable ex ante
cost allocation method could be
established for any such category of
projects.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
California initially adopted its
Portable Engine regulations on February
26, 2004 as part of a broad California
program to reduce emissions of diesel
particulate matter. The regulations
applied to in-use, portable, off-road
diesel-fueled engines rated 50 brake
horsepower (bhp) and greater. ‘‘Portable
engines’’ are engines that may be moved
easily from location to location.2 Subject
engines were required to be certified to
certain emission standards by January 1,
2010, unless the engines were
designated as low-use engines or as
engines exclusively used in emergency
applications. Fleets of in-use dieselfueled portable engines were required to
meet fleet-average standards for diesel
PM emissions that become increasingly
more stringent in 2013, 2017, and 2020.
The initial Portable Engine air toxic
control measure (ATCM) became
operative under state law on March 11,
2005 3 and EPA authorized the
regulations on November 29, 2012.4
CARB adopted the 2007 amendments
on July 31, 2007, and they became
effective on September 12, 2007. The
2007 amendments were designed to
extend temporary, emergency
provisions CARB had adopted to
address the inability of owners and
operators to permit or register older
