Not Consolidated. 

In an order dated November 24, 

2015,1 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. 

The technical conference was held on 

January 12, 2016. At the technical 

conference, staff indicated that it would 

establish a schedule for post-technical 

conference comments after reviewing 

the technical conference transcript. A 

revised technical conference transcript 

was placed in the above-referenced 

dockets on February 9, 2016. 

Post-technical conference comments, 

not to exceed 20 pages, are due on or 

before March 1, 2016. 

For more information about this 

technical conference, please contact 

PJMDFAXconfDL@ferc.gov; or Sarah 

McKinley, 202–502–8368, 

sarah.mckinley@ferc.gov, regarding 

logistical issues.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Commission 

[Docket No. RM98–1–000] 

Records Governing Off-the-Record 

Communications; Public Notice 

This constitutes notice, in accordance 

with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt 

of prohibited and exempt off-the-record 

communications. 

Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, 

September 22, 1999) requires 

Commission decisional employees, who 

make or receive a prohibited or exempt 

off-the-record communication relevant 

to the merits of a contested proceeding, 

to deliver to the Secretary of the 

Commission, a copy of the 

communication, if written, or a 

summary of the substance of any oral 

communication. 

Prohibited communications are 

included in a public, non-decisional file 

associated with, but not a part of, the 

decisional record of the proceeding. 

Unless the Commission determines that 

the prohibited communication and any 

responses thereto should become a part 

of the decisional record, the prohibited 

off-the-record communication will not 

be considered by the Commission in 

reaching its decision. Parties to a 

proceeding may seek the opportunity to 

respond to any facts or contentions 

made in a prohibited off-the-record 

communication, and may request that 

the Commission place the prohibited 

communication and responses thereto 

in the decisional record. The 

Commission will grant such a request 

only when it determines that fairness so 

requires. Any person identified below as 

having made a prohibited off-the-record 

communication shall serve the 

document on all parties listed on the 

official service list for the applicable 

proceeding in accordance with Rule 

2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
