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, 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 require cost allocation methods for intraregional and interregional transmission facilities to satisfy newly established cost allocation principles, (Docket No. RM10-23-000).
