Specifically, the 1 See Notice of Petition for Rulemaking and Intent to Hold Tribal Consultation Meetings, Docket No. RM24–9–000 (September 3, 2024). 2 ‘‘Tribes’’ and ‘‘Tribal’’ are used herein to refer to federally recognized Indian Tribes as referenced in the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List Act of 1994, 25 U.S.C. 5130. PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 78859 Commission will consult with Tribes on: 1. Whether to propose to adopt a definition of ‘‘Tribal Energy Development Organizations,’’ and perspectives on the definition. 2. Whether to propose to permit those Tribal Energy Development Organizations to defer paying commercial readiness deposits for generator interconnection requests until the execution of a Large Generator Interconnection Agreement. 3. Whether to propose to exempt those Tribal Energy Development Organizations from paying the generator interconnection request withdrawal penalties required by section 3.7.1.1(a) of the pro forma LGIP. 4. Whether to propose to permit those Tribal Energy Development Organizations withdrawing generator interconnection requests during the timeframes in sections 3.7.1.1(b) and 3.7.1.1(c) of the pro forma LGIP to pay a penalty equal to the actual study costs incurred by the withdrawing customer at the time of withdrawal, capped at $150,000. 5. What challenges Tribes face when pursuing generator interconnection, including the impacts of the commercial readiness deposits and withdrawal penalties set forth in the pro forma LGIP. 6. Whether energy projects developed by Tribes are more likely to proceed to commercial operation than projects proposed by other developers? And if so, please share why. The Tribal consultation will be conducted in accord with the Commission’s Policy Statement on Consultation with Indian Tribes in Commission Proceedings, Order No. 635, 104 FERC ¶ 61,108 (2003), 18 CFR 2.1c. The Policy Statement states that the Commission will engage Tribes in high-level meetings to discuss general matters of importance, such as those that uniquely affect Tribes. Tribal consultation will be conducted in two virtual, web-based meetings on October 28, 2024, and November 4, 2024, from 2 p.m.–4 p.m. ET. A call-in option will also be provided. Senior staff from the Office of Energy Policy and Innovation, the Office of Energy Market Regulation, and the Office of the General Counsel will participate in the consultations.
