PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.; Notice of Technical Conference

    By order dated December 28, 2015,\1\ the Commission directed its 
staff to convene a technical conference in this proceeding, based on 
its finding that the issues raised by PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM) 
in its filing, regarding the allocation of Auction Revenue Rights (ARR) 
and Financial Transmission Rights (FTR), required the development of a 
more complete record. As directed by the December 28 Order, the 
technical conference will focus on whether PJM's existing ARR/FTR 
tariff provisions are unjust and unreasonable and whether PJM's 
proposed revisions to its tariff addressing these matters are just and 
reasonable. As further specified by the Commission, issues to be 
addressed at the technical conference will include, but are not limited 
to: (i) PJM's ARR modeling and allocation processes; (ii) treatment of 
portfolio positions in allocating underfunding or surplus among FTR 
holders and the potential for market manipulation; and (iii) balancing 
congestion in ARR/FTR product design.
