PJM Interconnection, LLC; Notice of Commission Technical 
Conference

December 8, 2005.
    Take notice that the Commission will hold a technical conference on 
February 3, 2006, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (EST) on the matters raised by 
the Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) filed on August 31, 2005, by PJM 
Interconnection, LLC (PJM). The technical conference will be held in a 
room to be designated at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Members of the Commission will 
attend and participate in the conference. The conference will be open 
for the public to attend.

    The conference will consist of panels addressing, but not limited 
to, the following issues of interest to the Commissioners:
    1. Whether the current capacity obligation construct within PJM's 
market design provides for just and reasonable wholesale power prices 
in the PJM footprint, at levels that provide adequate assurance that 
necessary resources will be provided to assure reliability, or whether 
changes must be made to that capacity obligation construct;
    2. Whether PJM's RPM proposal would provide for just and reasonable 
wholesale power prices in the PJM footprint, at levels that provide 
adequate assurance that necessary resources will be provided to assure 
reliability, or whether changes must be made to the proposal to meet 
those goals; and
    3. Whether an alternative approach to RPM is necessary to ensure 
just and reasonable wholesale power prices in the PJM footprint.
    The technical conference is intended to provide a forum through 
which the Commission will obtain information and develop a record on 
these topics. The Commission will issue a supplemental notice with 
information identifying panel participants and a detailed agenda prior 
to the conference. There will be an opportunity for parties to file 
comments following the technical conference.
    The conference will be transcribed. A transcript of the conference 
will be immediately available from Ace Reporting Company (202) 347-3700
