April 9, 2001.

Take notice that on April 5, 2001, PJM Interconnection L.L.C. (PJM), filed a complaint requesting that the Reliability Assurance Agreement Among Load Serving Entities In The PJM Control Area (RAA) be amended to: (a) Adjust the time period over which a load serving entity must commit generation resources to PJM to meet its capacity obligations under the RAA from a daily commitment to a seasonal commitment (ranging from three to five months), (b) adjust the deficiency charge provisions to provide for a seasonal penalty, rather than a daily penalty, when load serving entities have insufficient capacity to meet their capacity obligations under the RAA, and (c) require generation owners to commit excess capacity to PJM (capacity not already committed to a load serving entity) seasonally, rather than daily, in order to participate in any distribution of revenues from capacity deficiency charges to load serving entities.

PJM requests an effective date of July 1, 2001 for the amendments. It also requests fast track processing of the complaint under Rule 206(h) (18 CFR 385.206(h)) and for the Commission to act no later than June 5, 2001.
