Title: ●Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation by Transmission Owning and Operating Public Utilities 
Abstract: The Commission proposed to amend the transmission planning and cost allocation requirements established in Order No. 890 to ensure that Commission-jurisdictional services are provided on a basis that is just, and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential. The proposed rule would (1) provide that local and regional transmission planning processes account for transmission needs driven by public policy requirements established by state or federal laws or regulations; (2) improve coordination between neighboring transmission planning regions with respect to interregional facilities; (3) remove from Commission-approved tariffs or agreements a right of first refusal created by those documents that provides an incumbent transmission provider with an undue advantage over a nonincumbent transmission developer; and (4) establish a closer link between transmission planning processes and cost allocation and would require cost allocation methods for intraregional and interregional transmission facilities to satisfy newly established cost allocation principles, (Docket No. RM10-23-000).
