Ohio Consumers' Counsel, New Jersey Department of the Public Advocate, 
Division of Rate Counsel, the Pennsylvania Office of Consumer Advocate, 
PJM Industrial Customer Coalition, the American Forest and Paper 
Association, the Portland Cement Association, the Duquesne Light 
Company, and the United States Department of Defense and other affected 
Federal Executive Agencies (collectively, the RPM Buyers) filed a 
formal complaint against PJM Interconnection L.L.C. (PJM) pursuant to 
section 206 of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824e, and Rule 206 of 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure, 18 CFR 835.206. The RPM Buyers allege that the PJM's 
implementation of the Reliability Pricing Model during the transition 
period is unjust and unreasonable because it has produced excessive 
capacity prices, has failed to prevent suppliers from exercising market 
power, and has not produced benefits commensurate with its costs.
    The Maryland Commission certifies that copies of the complaint were 
served on the contacts for PJM as listed in the Commission's Corporate 
Officials.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. The Respondent's 
answer and all interventions, or protests must be filed on or before 
the comment date. The Respondent's answer, motions to intervene, and 
protests must be served on the Complainants.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of Respondent's 
answer, protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the 
``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 
electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest 
or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
