[Docket No. EL15-68-000]


Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc.; Notice of Filing

    On June 18, 2015, pursuant to section 206 of the Federal Power Act, 
16 U.S.C. 824e, the Commission instituted an investigation in Docket 
No. EL15-68-000 to examine the justness and reasonableness of the pro 
forma Facilities Construction Agreement (FCA), Generator 
Interconnection Agreement (GIA), and Multi-Party Facilities 
Construction Agreement (MPFCA) contained in Midcontinent Independent 
System Operator, Inc.'s (MISO) Open Access Transmission, Energy and 
Operating Reserve Markets Tariff (Tariff). Midcontinent Indep. Sys. 
Operator, Inc., et al., 151 FERC ] 61,220 (2015). The Commission found 
that, upon initial review, the pro forma FCA, GIA, and MPFCA may be 
unjust and unreasonable, and that the potentially unjust and 
unreasonable Tariff language could be remedied with certain revisions. 
The Commission required MISO to make a filing either to (1) report 
whether it will propose Tariff changes as suggested by the Commission 
or (2) explain why such changes are not necessary. Take notice that, on 
August 17, 2015, MISO submitted a filing in response to the 
Commission's directive.
    The Commission is now providing an opportunity for other parties to 
comment on the Commission's preliminary findings in the section 206 
proceeding in Docket No. EL15-68-000, as well as MISO's response to the 
Commission's directive. Any person desiring to comment must file in 
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Comments will be considered by 
the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but 
intervention is necessary to become a party to the proceeding.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of comments in lieu 
of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons 
unable to file electronically should submit an original and 5 copies of 
the comments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First
