Markets and Reliability Committee
2. PJM MANUALS (9:10-9:20)
Manual 14A: Generation and Transmission Interconnection Process — The committee will be asked to endorse revisions to Attachments F and G regarding generator modeling requirements for wind turbines.
3. PJM SETTLEMENT, INC. (9:20-9:35)
The committee will be asked to endorse revisions to PJM’s Tariff and Operating Agreement to clarify agreements and transactions to which PJM Settlement, Inc. is not a party.
4. ESUITE APPLICATION NAME CHANGES (9:35-9:50)
The committee will be asked to endorse Tariff and OA revisions to effectuate the eSuite application name changes (i.e., changing eSchedules and EES to InSchedule and ExSchedule, respectively), as well as updates to the Regional Transmission and Energy Scheduling Practices for the deployment of ExSchedule. These changes are being requested in part due to the new Coordinated Transaction Scheduling (CTS) between PJM and NYISO. (See NYISO Scheduling Product Wins FERC OK.)
5. CONE REVIEW TIMING (9:50-10:05)
The committee will be asked to endorse Tariff and OA revisions related to the timing of the CONE (Cost of New Entry) periodic review. This would move the dates for the various stages of the triennial review up by two months. The Members Committee will also be asked to endorse these revisions (agenda item #5).

3. COORDINATED TRANSACTION SCHEDULES (CTS)/EXPORT CREDIT REQUIREMENTS (1:25-1:40)
The committee will be asked to endorse proposed Tariff revisions associated with Coordinated Transaction Schedules and export transactions. Among other things, the revisions clarify that transactions established directly by and between PJM and a neighboring balancing authority for the purpose of maintaining reliability are not subject to export transaction screening. (See NYISO Scheduling Product Wins FERC OK.)
4. SEASONAL VERIFICATION TESTING TRANSITION (1:40-2:00)
The committee will be asked to endorse proposed Tariff revisions to add a near-term transition mechanism to address changes to Manual 21: Rules and Procedures for Determination of Generating Capability. This transition mechanism allows certain generation owners to provide revised summer capability test results for the last three summers by April 1, in exchange for forgiveness of potential ICAP shortfalls for the 2014/15 delivery year. (See Transition Period OKd for Seasonal Verification Rules.)
