Transmission Planning and Cost Management; Supplemental Notice of 
Technical Conference

    As announced in the Notice of Technical Conference issued in this 
proceeding on April 21, 2022, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission) will convene a Commissioner-led technical conference 
regarding transmission planning and cost management for transmission 
facilities developed through local or regional transmission planning 
processes in the above-captioned proceeding on October 6, 2022, from 
approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
    The purpose of this conference is to explore measures to ensure 
sufficient transparency into and cost effectiveness of local and 
regional transmission planning decisions, including: (1) the role of 
cost management measures in ensuring the cost-effective identification 
of local transmission needs (e.g., planning criteria) and solutions to 
address identified local transmission and regional reliability-related 
transmission needs; and (2) cost considerations and the processes 
through which transmission developers recover their costs to ensure 
just and reasonable transmission rates.

Additionally, this conference will also discuss potential approaches to 
providing enhanced cost management measures and greater transparency 
and oversight if needed to ensure just and reasonable transmission 
rates.
