Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the EA
for this proposal. The filing of the EA
in the Commission’s public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will serve to notify federal and

completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s EA.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
7 copies of filings made in the
proceeding with the Commission and
must mail a copy to the applicant and
to every other party. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone

Frm 00034

will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commentors
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
and interventions in lieu of paper using
the eFiling link at https://www.ferc.gov.
Persons unable to file electronically
should submit an original and 5 copies
of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission,
888 First Street NE, Washington, DC
20426.
Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern time

Old Dominion Electric Cooperative v.
PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.; Advanced
Energy Management Alliance v. PJM
Interconnection, L.L.C.; Notice of
Request for Comments and Technical
Conference
Take notice that a staff-led conference
will be held on April 24, 2018, at the
offices of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street NE,
Washington, DC 20426, between 9:30
a.m. and 4:15 p.m. (EDT). The purpose
of the conference is to obtain further
information concerning the above
referenced proceedings. Supplemental
notices will be issued prior to the
technical conference with further details
regarding the agenda, speakers, and
organization of the technical conference.
Commission staff will lead the
conference, and Commissioners may
attend.
On February 23, 2018, the
Commission issued an order directing
Commission staff to convene a technical
conference and issue a request for
comments in the above captioned
dockets.1 In advance of this conference,
interested parties are asked to file
comments on the following questions:
1. According to complainants, PJM
indicated in the stakeholder process that
a procurement of 80 percent Capacity
Performance and 20 percent Base
Capacity yields a near-zero loss of load
expectation (LOLE) over 42 (nonsummer peak) weeks of the year. Do
these results provide information about
the value of lost load in 10 peaksummer weeks versus the rest of the
year? Is placing the majority of loss-ofload risk in 10 peak-summer weeks an
appropriate allocation of risk for
purposes of meeting the 1-in-10 LOLE
target in a cost-effective manner? If yes,
please explain why. If not, what would
be a better distribution of risk that can
still satisfy the 1-in-10 LOLE target?
2. How is the conclusion that PJM’s
current capacity procurement yields a
near-zero LOLE in the winter consistent
with PJM’s experience in the Polar
Vortex? How does the LOLE calculation
take into account outage-related factors,
for instance, planned maintenance
outages are typically scheduled only
during non-summer months?
3. Complainants argue that it is
appropriate to procure more capacity for

Interconnection, L.L.C., 162 FERC 61,160 (2018).

the summer months than for the nonsummer months. What would be the
advantages and disadvantages of (a)
procuring this capacity by using annual
and summer-only capacity products in a
single auction, as PJM did in the past,
versus (b) creating two distinct auctions,
and procuring summer capacity in one
auction and non-summer capacity in the
other? Are there other viable methods to
meet this objective? If so, please
describe them.
4. Does PJM’s load forecasting
methodology reasonably reflect peak
shaving efforts by end users?
a. What is the basis for the current
load forecasting methodology and what
are its advantages within the context of
peak shaving practices?
b. Are there aspects of the current
load forecasting methodology that can
be improved and may be incorrect or
resulting in unreasonable outcomes
within the context of peak shaving
practices?
c. Are there alternative methodologies
to reflect peak shaving efforts? If so,
what are they and are there obstacles to
implementing them?
Preliminary comments responding to
this notice should be submitted, in
Docket Nos. EL17–32–000 and EL17–
36–000, on or before April 4, 2018 and
should not exceed 15 pages. Parties will
have an opportunity to submit
comments after the conference as well.
