    By order dated November 24, 2015,\1\ the Commission directed 
Commission staff to conduct a technical conference in the above-
referenced proceedings. The technical conference is scheduled for 
January 12, 2016, at the Commission's headquarters at 888 First Street 
NE., Washington, DC 20426 between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. (Eastern 
Time).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ PJM Interconnection, L.L.C., et al., 153 FERC ] 61,245 
(2015) (November 2015 Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the November 2015 Order, the Commission found that the 
assignment of cost allocation for the projects in the filings and 
complaints listed in the caption using PJM's solution-based 
distribution factor (DFAX) cost allocation method had not been shown to 
be just and reasonable and may be unjust, unreasonable, or unduly 
discriminatory or preferential. The Commission directed its staff to 
establish a technical conference to explore both whether there is a 
definable category of reliability projects within PJM for which the 
solution-based DFAX cost allocation method may not be just and 
reasonable, such as projects addressing reliability violations that are 
not related to flow on the planned transmission facility, and whether 
an alternative just and reasonable ex ante cost allocation method could 
be established for any such category of projects.
    Parties wishing to speak or make presentations regarding the two 
issues discussed above must submit their requests on or before December 
18, 2015 to https://www.ferc.gov/whats-new/registration/01-12-16-speaker-form.asp. Parties with similar interests are encouraged to 
agree on a single representative for their interests. Speakers and 
presentations will be selected so that relevant interests are 
represented and to accommodate time constraints. An agenda with the 
list of selected speakers and presentations will be available prior to 
the event on the web calendar on the Commission's Web site, 
www.ferc.gov.
    Pre-technical conference comments (with a ten page limit) on these 
issues

should be filed in all the dockets listed above no later than January 
6, 2016. A schedule for post-technical conference comments will be

Commissioners may attend and participate in the technical conference.
