Independence Avenue SW., 

Washington, DC 20585. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the meeting is for DOE to 

obtain input on existing gaps and future 

opportunities in regards to complex 

flow modeling and experimental 

validation. Ultimately, research in this 

area may lead to significant 

improvements in wind plant efficiency 

and performance, leading to a reduced 

cost of energy for wind power. The 

meeting is an opportunity for 

participants to provide, based on their 

individual experience, information and 

facts regarding this topic. It is not the 

object of this session to obtain any 

group position or consensus. Rather, 

DOE is seeking as many 

recommendations as possible from all 

individuals at this meeting. 

The public meeting will consist of an 

initial plenary session in which invited 

speakers will survey available 

information and needs for various 

applications related to complex flow 

modeling and validation testing. For the 

remainder of the meeting, breakout 

groups will be used to provide 

participants an opportunity to present to 

DOE information on specific areas 

regarding existing gaps in observations 

and computational products. These 

groups will be an opportunity to 

provide comment on information needs 

for the following topics: 

1. Wind Turbine Scale Modeling and 

Validation Requirements 

Participants will examine inflow and 

outflow characteristics in the vicinity of 

a single wind turbine, as well as the 

implications for aerodynamic loading of 

the rotor and overall structure. Several 

temporal and spatial scales shall be 

considered. 

2. Wind Plant Scale Modeling and 

Validation Requirements 

Participants will examine complex 

aerodynamic phenomena in, around, 

and through wind plants, including 

turbine-wake interaction, wake-wake 

interaction, complex terrain, and 

turbulence effects. Several temporal and 

spatial scales shall be considered. 

3. Regional Scale Modeling and 

Validation Requirements 

Participants will examine the 

meteorological effects at the regional, 

multi-wind plant scale. This exploration 

of atmospheric science topics shall 

include model nesting, long-term data 

collection requirements, and downwind effects of wind plants. 

4. Experimental Data Validation 

Techniques 

Participants will examine the 

requirements for, as well as the 

feasibility and efficacy of, existing and 

future experimental techniques for cost 

effective, high fidelity data collection. 

Both field and laboratory experiments 

will be explored. 

This meeting is intended to collect 

information from individuals involved 

in planning, deployment, operation, and 

regulation of wind energy projects, 

individuals involved in meteorological 

and oceanic disciplines relevant to 

offshore and onshore wind energy, and 

interested members of the public. 

However, the meeting will not focus on 

environmental impact or management 

issues, which are being addressed by 

separate efforts. While participation is 

open to all interested parties, the 

breakout structure of the meeting will 

limit its overall size to about 80 

participants. When the meeting is fully 

subscribed, registration will be closed.

Commission 

[Docket No. PA10–13–000] 

ITC Holdings Corp.; Notice of Paper 

Hearing Procedure 

Take notice that on October 31, 2011, 

ITC Holdings Corp. and ITC Midwest 

LLC (collectively, ITC) filed a request 

for Commission review of certain 

findings and recommendations in the 

September 30, 2011 Audit Report (Audit 

Report) in this docket issued by the 

Director of the Office of Enforcement 

under authority delegated to him by 

section 375.311 of the Commission’s 

regulations, 18 CFR 375.311 (2011). ITC 

submitted its request for review under 

Part 41 of the Commission’s regulations, 

18 CFR Part 41.2. In accordance with 

section 41.3, ITC requested the use of 

shortened procedures. Pursuant to 

section 41.3, the Commission directs the 

commencement of a paper hearing. The 

Commission further provides 

clarification on the scope of the paper 

hearing. 

ITC’s filing states that it challenges 

the Audit Report’s findings that ITC 

Midwest ‘‘improperly recovered from 

customers through formula rate billings 

amounts associated with the tax effects 

of amortized goodwill reported in 

Account 211, Miscellaneous Paid-In 

Capital. It also over-accrued its 

allowance for funds used during 

construction (AFUDC).’’ ITC also 

challenges recommendations 2–4 in the 

Audit Report: 

2. Remove the overstated equity 

amounts associated with the tax effects 

of amortized goodwill reported in 

Account 211. File all correcting entries 

and supporting documentation with the 

Division of Audits within 30 days of the 

issuance of a final audit report in this 

docket. 

3. Record and file, with supporting 

documentation, all correcting entries 

and calculations to correct all account 

balances affected by the over-accrual of 

AFUDC. 

4. Adjust formula rate billings, as 

appropriate, for amounts 

inappropriately recovered from 

customers associated with the tax effects 

of amortized goodwill and related overaccrual of AFUDC. Compute interest on 

the adjustments in accordance with 18 

CFR 35.19a. File a refund analysis with 

the Commission within 30 days of the 

issuance of a final audit report in this 

docket. 

The scope of the paper hearing is 

limited to these challenged findings and 

recommendations. 

In accordance with section 41.3, ITC 

and any other interested entity, 

including the Commission staff, shall 

file, within 45 days of this notice, an 

initial memorandum that addresses the 

relevant facts and applicable law that 

support the position or positions taken 

regarding the matters at issue. Reply 

memoranda may be filed by participants 

who filed initial memoranda. Reply 

memoranda must be filed within 20 

days of the due date for initial 

memoranda. Pursuant to section 41.3, 

subpart T of Part 385 of the 

Commission’s regulations shall apply to 

all filings. Further, pursuant to section 

41.4, each entity’s memorandum should 

set out the facts and argument as 

prescribed for briefs in 18 CFR 385.706 

(2011). Section 41.5 also requires that 

the facts stated in the memorandum 

must be sworn to by persons having 

knowledge thereof, which latter fact 

must affirmatively appear in the 

affidavit. 

eFiling is encouraged. More detailed 

information relating to filing 

requirements, interventions, protests, 

service, and qualifying facilities filings 

can be found at: http://www.ferc.gov/ 

docs-filing/efiling/filing-req.pdf. For
