DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. RM21-17-000]
Building for the Future Through Electric Regional Transmission
Planning and Cost Allocation and Generator Interconnection; Notice on
Requests or Extension of Time
On May 10, 2022, the ISO/RTO Council (IRC),\1\ Edison Electric
Institute, American Public Power Association, and the National Rural
Electric Cooperative Association (together, Joint Movants) filed a
motion requesting a 15-day extension of time to submit initial comments
in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) in this
proceeding,\2\ from July 18, 2022 to August 2, 2022, and an extension
of the reply comment deadline from August 17, 2022 to September 8,
2022. Joint Movants state that the responses to the NOPR will require a
great deal of internal consideration for each trade association and IRC
member to provide quality responses to the Commission. Moreover, Joint
Movants assert that the industry as a whole would benefit from a modest
amount of additional time to provide thoughtful and constructive
comments in response to the NOPR in order for the Commission to have an
adequate record upon which to rule. The MISO South Regulators \3\ filed
comments supporting Joint Movants' motion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ IRC is comprised of the following independent system
operators (ISOs) and regional transmission organizations (RTOs):
Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO); California Independent
System Operator Corporation; Electric Reliability Council of Texas,
Inc. (ERCOT); Independent Electricity System Operator of Ontario,
Inc. (IESO); ISO New England Inc.; Midcontinent Independent System
Operator, Inc.; New York Independent System Operator, Inc.; PJM
Interconnection, L.L.C.; and Southwest Power Pool, Inc. IRC states
that AESO, ERCOT, and IESO do not join its motion.
\2\ Building for the Future Through Electric Regional
Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation and Generator
Interconnection, 179 FERC ] 61,028 (2022).
\3\ For purposes of their pleading, the MISO South Regulators
consist of the Arkansas Public Service Commission, the Louisiana
Public Service Commission, the Council for the City of New Orleans,
and the Mississippi Public Service Commission and Public Utilities

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On May 19, 2022, the National Association of Regulatory Utility
Commissioners (NARUC) filed a motion requesting a 30-day extension of
time to submit initial comments in this proceeding, from July 18, 2022
to August 17, 2022. NARUC states that the current initial comment
deadline of July 18, 2022 is at the beginning of NARUC's Summer Policy
Summit, during which the Commission and NARUC will hold another meeting
of the Joint Federal-State Task Force on Electric Transmission (Task
Force). NARUC states that the state members of the Task Force spend a
great deal of time preparing for the Task Force meetings, and it will
be difficult for them to balance preparing for the Task Force meeting
with developing comments in this proceeding, in addition to their
primary responsibilities to their public utility commissions. Further,
NARUC states that NARUC meetings serve as an opportunity for their
members to discuss policy matters and develop their advocacy positions.
Western State Regional Representatives \4\ filed comments supporting
NARUC's motion and request that the Commission adjust the reply comment
period accordingly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Western State Regional Representatives are comprised of
Western Representatives to the Task Force, Chair of the Committee
Regional on Electric Power Cooperation, and Executive Director of
the Western Interstate Energy Board.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon consideration, notice is hereby given that the deadline to
submit initial comments in response to the NOPR in this proceeding is
extended from July 18, 2022 to and including August 17, 2022.
Additionally, notice is hereby given that the deadline to submit reply
comments is extended from August 17, 2022 to and including September
19, 2022.
Dated: May 25, 2022.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
