Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 9, 2016 / Notices
transmission projects that are not
subject to a competitive transmission
development process? If so, what risk
mitigation measures should the
Commission encourage through
application of the incentive policy?
3. In light of the emphasis that Order
No. 1000 places on regional
transmission planning, do the risks and
challenges of a particular transmission
project remain an appropriate focal
point for incentives requested pursuant
to Federal Power Act section 219? If not,
what are the attributes that warrant
incentives?
4. What, if any, changes are needed to
the framework the Commission uses to
evaluate return on equity adders and
other transmission incentives for
transmission projects that use cost
containment provisions?
5. Order No. 1000 requires public
utility transmission providers in regions
to have an ex ante cost allocation
method for transmission facilities
selected in the regional transmission
plan for purposes of cost allocation. To
what extent does the ex ante cost
allocation method reduce risks to
transmission developers?
6. Transmission developers face at
least two types of risks: risk associated
with participation in the transmission
planning processes and risk associated
with developing a transmission project.
The Commission’s current incentive
policies focus on the latter. Please
comment on risks associated with
participation in the transmission
planning processes and indicate what, if
any, changes to the planning processes
could mitigate the risk.
7. Do public utility transmission
providers in regions consider that a
transmission developer may request and
be awarded transmission incentives
when evaluating transmission proposals
and, if so, how? For example, how
would public utility transmission
providers in regions consider a proposal
with a potential transmission incentive
given that the incentive might or might
not be granted? Should a competitive
transmission development process
clearly state whether, and, if so, how
incentives should be part of a
developer’s proposal and how requests
and grants of such incentives will be
evaluated by the public utility
transmission providers in the region? Is
there an optimal time for submission of
incentive requests to the Commission
and for Commission decisions upon
them?
Panel Four: Interregional Transmission
Coordination Issues
1. What factors have contributed to
the lack of development of interregional
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
transmission facilities (i.e., a
transmission facility that is located in
two or more transmission planning
regions)? Are there actions the
Commission could take to facilitate such
development?
2. What would be the advantages and
disadvantages to the use of common
models and assumptions by public
utility transmission providers in regions
in their interregional coordination
processes? Are there problems that such
an approach would solve or create? If
such common models and assumptions
could be developed, how should they be
developed and by which entity or
entities?
3. Should the Commission revisit
Order No. 1000’s requirement that an
interregional transmission facility be
selected in the regional transmission
plan of all transmission planning
regions where the facility will be
located before it is eligible for
interregional cost allocation? Why or
why not?
4. What reforms, if any, could the
Commission adopt to facilitate the
identification of shared interregional
transmission needs?
5. Do interregional cost allocation
methods accepted by the Commission,
such as the ‘‘avoided cost only’’ method,
impede interregional transmission
coordination? 3 If so, are there
alternative cost allocation methods that
could better facilitate interregional
transmission development? Would
those methods be consistent with
interregional transmission coordination
processes or would the interregional
transmission coordination processes
need to change to accommodate such
alternative cost allocation methods?
Panel Five: Regional Transmission
Planning and Other Transmission
Development Issues
1. To maximize the benefits of
competition, should the Commission
broaden or narrow the type of
transmission facilities that must be
selected through competitive
transmission development processes? If
so, how?
2. Has the introduction of competition
into the regional transmission planning
processes led public utility transmission
providers to focus more on developing
local transmission facilities or other
transmission facilities not subject to
competitive transmission development
processes?
3 See,
e.g. Midcontinent Indep. Sys. Operator,
Inc., 150 FERC ¶ 61,045, at PP 176–180 (2015)
(describing an ‘‘avoided-cost only method’’ and
finding such an approach can comply with
Interregional Cost Allocation Principle 1).

Sfmt 4703
3. Are there other competitive
approaches compared to the existing
competitive transmission development
processes that could potentially reduce
the time and cost to conduct the
process, or the risk of litigation over
proposal selection, but still benefit
consumers? If so, what are the strengths
and weaknesses of such approaches and
could they be used in transmission
planning regions in specified
circumstances, for example, for
transmission projects needed in the
near-term to address reliability needs, in
conjunction with existing competitive
transmission development processes?
4. What types of information (please
be specific) could be used to measure
the impact of the Order No. 1000
reforms on transmission development?
For example, what information could be
used to evaluate whether the more
efficient or cost-effective transmission
facilities are being selected within and
between transmission planning regions?
How should that information be tracked
and reported or posted? Should
common metrics be developed for
evaluation of the information?
5. How do the sponsorship model and
competitive bidding model,
respectively, and variations on these
models, capture the benefits of
competition, such as increased
innovation and selection of the more
efficient or cost-effective transmission
facilities? What are the positive features
and drawbacks of each model? How can
their drawbacks be addressed?
6. Are changes to the Commission’s
current application of the Discounted
Cash Flow (DCF) analysis needed to
better accommodate nonincumbent
transmission developers, in particular
with respect to the identification of
appropriate proxy groups? If so, what
changes are necessary?
