    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. On February 9, 2016 a technical 
conference transcript was place in the above-referenced dockets, and a 
post-technical conference comment schedule was established. On February 
18, 2016, an errata transcript of the February 9, 2016 transcript was 
placed in the dockets. The schedule for post-technical conference 
comments is revised accordingly.
    Post-technical conference comments, not to exceed 20 pages, are due 
on or before March 9, 2016.
