http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/file_list.asp?document_id=14029366
FERC “seeks comments regarding whether existing rules on transfer capability act as barriers to the delivery of generation capacity between the markets administered by Midwest Independent System Operator Inc. ... and PJM Interconnection L.L.C., ... and to the extent that such barriers exist, whether those rules should be modified to mitigate such barriers.”

Transmission Loading Relief Reliability Standard and Curtailment Priorities, Docket No. RM10-9-000 “Order Terminating Proceeding” (June 14, 2012); 139 FERC ¶61,218 (2012).
http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/file_list.asp?document_id=14030634
On Jan. 21, 2010, FERC issued a Notice of Inquiry seeking comments regarding whether there are conflicts between the North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC) Reliability Standard IRO-006-04 (Reliability Coordination – Transmission Loading Relief ) and the curtailment priorities set forth in FERC’s pro forma Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT). FERC found “that the requirements of Reliability Standard IRO-006-04 have not been shown to be in conflict with the curtailment priorities of the pro forma OATT. Therefore, the Commission terminates the Notice of Inquiry.”
