[Docket No. RM11-9-000]

Locational Exchanges of Wholesale Electric Power; Notice 
Terminating Proceeding

    1. On February 17, 2011, the Commission issued a Notice of Inquiry 
(NOI) concerning the regulatory treatment of locational exchanges of 
wholesale electric power. The Commission sought guidance as to the 
circumstances under which locational exchanges of wholesale electric 
power should be permitted generically and circumstances under which the 
Commission should consider locational exchanges of wholesale electric 
power on a case-by-case basis. The Commission received 17 comments from 
interested parties addressing various issues presented in the NOI. The 
Commission has determined that there is no basis for continuing this 
proceeding through the initiation of a rulemaking process and, instead, 
addresses related issues in an order issued contemporaneously with this 
order.\1\ Therefore, the Commission is terminating this proceeding.
