Process for Adding, Deleting and Revising PJM Manuals The process to amend the procedures and processes found within PJM Manuals (Manuals) is addressed through – PJM Manual 34: PJM Stakeholder Process Section 11.14. As noted in Section 11.14, “Operating Agreement section 10.4.iii states that PJM is ‘responsible to prepare, maintain, update and disseminate the PJM Manuals’. It has been PJM’s practice to bring revisions to the Manuals through the stakeholder process for endorsement of revisions, but PJM retains the right and responsibility to make changes to the Manuals as necessary, should stakeholder endorsement not be attainable. Manual revisions should be prepared along with the draft governing document revisions associated with the resolution for issues under consideration in the stakeholder process. The Markets and Reliability Committee provides final endorsement for all Manuals, with the exception of: Manual 15 – Cost Development – this Manual requires Members Committee endorsement and Board of Managers approval in accordance with Operating Agreement Schedule 2 Manual 34 – PJM Stakeholder Process – this Manual is approved by the Members Committee” The Manual amendment process is implemented within the PJM committee structure, where in these open meetings Manual changes are either proposed by PJM staff or by members. Such proposed Manual revisions are usually associated with issues being considered in the stakeholder process (however, standalone revisions may be proposed as well). If a member wants to propose a Manual amendment, the member representative is free to make such proposals yet needs to provide justification within the committee structure for why the change is needed. The following are highlights of this open amendment process: Proposed Manual revisions are reviewed by the PJM Market Implementation Committee (MIC), the Planning Committee (PC) and/or the Operating Committee (OC) depending upon the content of the proposed revision. The PJM Markets and Reliability Committee (MRC) is charged with reviewing proposed changes to the PJM Manuals after they are reviewed by the MIC, PC or the OC. See PJM Committee Structure. The MRC, MIC, PC and OC meetings are open to all stakeholders (Manual 34 Sections 4.5 and 11.4). PJM is required to post on pjm.com a description of the action requested of the Members, with links to the full text of any material and all necessary supporting materials, at least three calendar days before MIC, PC and OC meetings (Manual 34 Section 10.4). Prior to all PJM Senior Committee meetings (which includes the MRC and Members Committee (MC)), PJM is required to post, at least seven calendar days before the meeting, a description of the action requested of the Members, with links to the full text of any material and all necessary supporting materials (Manual 34 Section 10.4). This posting process applies to Manual additions, deletions or revisions under consideration in MIC, PC, OC and MRC meetings. Upon review within the committee structure, PJM implements the changes and posts the revised Manuals on pjm.com.
