I. Background

    On August 29, 2016, the EPA finalized new source performance
standards (NSPS) for MSW landfills and Emission Guidelines and
Compliance Times for existing MSW landfills in 40 CFR part 60, subparts
XXX and Cf, respectively. See 81 FR 59332 and 81 FR 59313. These
actions were taken under section 111 of the Act.
    With respect to existing sources, including existing MSW landfills,
section 111(d) of the Act requires the EPA to establish a procedure
under which each state shall submit a plan to the EPA which establishes
standards of performance for any air pollutant: (1) For which air
quality criteria have not been issued or which is not included on a
list published under CAA section 108 or emitted from a source category
which is regulated under CAA section 112, but; (2) to which a NSPS
would apply if such existing source were a new source. The EPA
established requirements for

state plan submittals in 40 CFR part 60, subpart B. As discussed below,
state plan submittals under CAA sections 111(d) must be consistent with
the relevant emission guidelines, in this instance 40 CFR part 60,
subpart Cf, and the requirements of 40 CFR part 60, subpart B and 40
CFR part 62, subpart A.
    Once a NSPS for a source category is promulgated, the EPA publishes
an emissions guideline (EG) applicable to the control of the same
pollutants from existing (designated) facilities. In this action, a MSW
landfill for which construction, reconstruction, or modification was
commenced on or before July 17, 2014, is considered a designated
facility. The MSW landfills EG, revised in 2016 and promulgated at 40
CFR part 60, subpart Cf, updates the control requirements and
monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping provisions for existing MSW
landfill sources. The MSW landfills EG incorporates by cross-reference
or direct adoption certain requirements for state and federal plans, as
specified in 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf.
    States with designated facilities must then develop plans
implementing the EG and submit them to the EPA for review and approval.
State plans must include compliance times and other elements, such as
inventories, legal authority, and public participation documentation,
to demonstrate the ability to enforce the EG. See 40 CFR part 60,
subpart B. The MSW landfills EG, found at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf,
concerns the regulation of landfill gas and its components, including
methane, from MSW landfills for which construction, reconstruction, or
modification was commenced on or before July 17, 2014. The deadline to
submit a state plan to the EPA was May 30, 2017.
    In this action, we are proposing to approve the incorporation by
reference (IBR) of Title 20, Chapter 2, Part 64 Municipal Solid Waste
Landfills (20.2.64 NMAC) for the State of New Mexico; and proposing to
approve the IBR of Title 20, Chapter 11, Part 71 Municipal Solid Waste
Landfills (20.11.71 NMAC) for the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air
Quality Control Board.

II. Evaluation

    EPA has evaluated the New Mexico Plan (submitted on May 25, 2017)
and the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Plan (submitted on May 24, 2017)
to determine whether each meets the requirements of CAA section 111(d),
40 CFR part 60, subparts B and Cf, and 40 CFR part 62, subpart A. Both
Plans were submitted to the EPA prior to the May 30, 2017 submittal
deadline. See 40 CFR 60.30f(b). Section II.A below evaluates the New
Mexico Plan while Section II.B evaluates the Albuquerque-Bernalillo
County Plan.

A. State of New Mexico Plan

    Title 20, Chapter 2, Part 64--Municipal Solid Waste Landfills of
the New Mexico Administrative Code (20.2.64 NMAC) establishes
requirements for municipal solid waste landfills in New Mexico (except
Albuquerque and Bernalillo County) in order to control their methane
and nonmethane organic compounds emissions. 20.2.64 NMAC was revised on
April 28, 2017 and became effective on May 31, 2017. Title 20, Chapter
2, Part 77--New Source Performance Standards (20.2.77 NMAC) establishes
state authority to implement federal NSPS for stationary sources in New
Mexico. The CAA 111(d) Plan for MSW landfills in New Mexico was last
approved by the EPA on November 24, 2006 (71 FR 67809). An approvable
CAA section 111(d) Plan for MSW landfills has ten essential elements
\1\ incorporating the legal requirements for approvable state plans.
See 40 CFR part 60, subparts B and Cf, and 40 CFR part 62, subpart A.
These elements are as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See ``Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, Volume 2: Summary of
the Requirements for Section 111(d) State Plans for Implementing the
Muncipal Solid Waste Landfills Emission Guidelines,'' U.S. EPA,
OAQPS; EPA-456R/98-009, November 1998 (hereinafter ``1998 State Plan
Guidance'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    1. Identification of enforceable State mechanisms selected by the
State for implementing the Emission Guidelines;
    2. A demonstration of State's legal authority to carry out the
Section 111(d) State plan as submitted;
    3. An inventory of existing MSW landfills in the State affected by
the Emission Guidelines;
    4. Inventory of emissions from existing MSW landfills in the State;
    5. Emission standards for existing MSW landfills that are ``no less
stringent'' than those in the Emission Guidelines;
    6. State process for review and approval of site-specific gas
collection and control system design plans;
    7. Compliance schedules extending no later than 30 months after the
date the annual nonmethane organic compounds (NMOC) emission rate
reaches or exceeds thresholds in Subpart Cf;
    8. Testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements;
    9. A record of public hearing(s) on the State Plan; and
    10. Provision for annual State progress reports to the EPA on
implementation of the State Plan.
    Each element of the New Mexico Plan has been evaluated in detail in
the Technical Support Document (TSD) prepared in conjunction with this
action.\2\ Our evaluation demonstrates that the New Mexico Plan meets
all these 10 elements and is consistent with the requirements for
approvable section 111(d) state plans for MSW landfills.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Plan

    Title 20, Chapter 11, Part 71--Municipal Solid Waste Landfills of
the New Mexico Administrative Code (20.11.71 NMAC) establishes
requirements for municipal solid waste landfills in Albuquerque-
Bernalillo County in order to control their methane and nonmethane
organic compounds emissions and serves as the enforceable mechanism to
implement the EG. The Plan was adopted by the Albuquerque-Bernalillo
County Air Quality Control Board on April 12, 2017 and became effective
on May 13, 2017. Title 20, Chapter 11, Part 63--New Source Performance
Standards for Stationary Sources (20.11.63 NMAC) provides for the
authority to adopt specified federal NSPS requirements codified at 40
CFR part 60 (e.g., 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf for existing MSW
landfills) within the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County jurisdictional
area. The 111(d) Plan for MSW landfills for Albuquerque-Bernalillo
County was last approved by the EPA on November 8, 1999 (64 FR 60689).
For detailed evaluation of the 10 essential elements for approvable CAA
section 111(d) state plans for MSW landfills (as referenced in Section
II.A. above) for the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Plan, please see the
TSD prepared in conjunction with this action.\3\ Our evaluation
demonstrates that the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Plan meets all
these 10 elements and is consistent with the requirements for
approvable section 111(d) state plans for MSW landfills.

III. Proposed Action

    The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the CAA section 111(d)
Plan submitted by the NMED on May 25, 2017, to regulate landfill gas
and its components, including methane, from existing MSW landfills in
New Mexico, except for Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. We are also
proposing to approve revisions to the CAA section

111(d) Plan submitted by the NMED on behalf of the Albuquerque-
Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board on May 24, 2017, for
existing MSW landfills in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. Both Plans
are submitted to implement and enforce the EG for existing MSW
landfills. See 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf. The scope of the proposed
approval of the section 111(d) Plans is limited to the provisions of 40
CFR parts 60 and 62 for existing MSW landfills, as referenced in the
emission guidelines, 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this action, we are proposing to include in a final rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference of the CAA
section 111(d) Plan for New Mexico applicable to MSW landfills. In
accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, we are proposing to
incorporate by reference revisions to the New Mexico regulations
regarding MSW landfills and to Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air
Quality Control Board regulations regarding MSW landfills in
Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, as described in the Proposed Action
section of this preamble. The EPA has made, and will continue to make,
these documents generally available electronically through
www.regulations.gov, docket ID NO. EPA-R06-OAR-2019-0306 and in hard
copy at the EPA Region 6 office (please contact the person identified
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for
more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Act, the Administrator is required to approve submission
of CAA section 111(d) state plans that comply with the provisions of
the Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7411(d); 40 CFR
part 60, subparts B and Cf; and 40 CFR part 62, subpart A. Thus, in
reviewing CAA section 111(d) state plan submissions, EPA's role is to
approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Act
and implementing regulations. Accordingly, this action merely proposes
to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not
impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For
that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because this action is not significant under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Act; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this proposed rule for existing MSW landfills within
the State of New Mexico (including Albuquerque-Bernalillo County) does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the section 111(d) plan is not
approved to apply in Indian country, as defined at 18 U.S.C. 1151,
located in the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-26-10,
which applied to all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series
airplanes. AD 2014-26-10 required revising the maintenance or
inspection program to incorporate maintenance requirements and
airworthiness limitations. This new AD requires revising the
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or
revised airworthiness limitation requirements. This AD was prompted by
a determination that more restrictive maintenance instructions and
airworthiness limitations are necessary. We are issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective November 1, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of November 1,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2014-26-10, Amendment 39-18061 (80 FR 2813,
January 21, 2015) (``AD 2014-26-10''). AD 2014-26-10 applied to all
Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2017 (82 FR 17770). The
NPRM was prompted by a determination that more restrictive maintenance
instructions and airworthiness limitations are necessary. The NPRM
proposed to require revising the maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate new or revised airworthiness limitation
requirements. The NPRM also proposed to remove airplanes from the
applicability. We are issuing this AD to mitigate the risks associated
with aging effects of airplane systems. Such aging effects could change
the characteristics of the systems leading to an increased potential
for failure, which could result in failure of certain life-limited
parts, and reduced structural integrity or reduced controllability of
the airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2016-0093, dated May 13, 2016 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series
airplanes. The MCAI states:

    The airworthiness limitations for Airbus A320 family aeroplanes
are currently defined and published in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321
Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) documents. The airworthiness
limitations applicable to the System Equipment Maintenance
Requirements, which are approved by [European Aviation Safety
Agency] EASA, are specified in ALS Part 4.
    The instructions contained in the ALS Part 4 have been
identified as mandatory actions for continued airworthiness. Failure
to comply with these instructions could result in an unsafe
condition.
    Previously, EASA issued AD 2013-0146 [which corresponds to FAA
AD 2014-26-10] to require accomplishment of all maintenance actions
as described in ALS Part 4 at Revision 01. The new ALS Part 4
Revision 03 (hereafter referred to as `the ALS' in this AD) includes
new and/or more restrictive requirements. ALS Part 4 Revision 03,
issue 02, has been released to include editorial changes.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2013-0146, which is superseded, and requires
accomplishment of the actions specified in the ALS.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2017-
0248.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received. Camp Systems
International, Daniel Systems Inc., and United Airlines supported the
NPRM.

Request To Incorporate Current ALS Revision

    American Airlines (AAL) asked that a provision be incorporated into
the proposed AD to approve use of Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part
4, ``System Equipment Maintenance Requirements (SEMR)'', Revision 05,
dated April 6, 2017 (``ALS Part 4, Revision 05''), as an additional
means of compliance with the maintenance or inspection program. AAL
stated that ALS Part 4, Revision 05 is the latest revision level for
ALS Part 4, and approving it would potentially alleviate a future
alternative method of compliance (AMOC) request.
    We acknowledge the commenter's concern. We have issued global AMOCs
to AD 2014-26-10, which allow all operators of U.S.-registered
airplanes to use Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4, ``System
Equipment Maintenance Requirements (SEMR)'', Revision 04, dated July 6,
2016, and Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4, ``System Equipment
Maintenance Requirements (SEMR)'', Revision 05, dated April 6, 2017.
These AMOCs are included in paragraph (k)(1)(ii) of this AD, which
states that AMOCs approved previously for AD 2014-26-10 are approved as
AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of paragraph (g) of this AD. In
addition, these AMOCs are also applicable to the revision required by
paragraph (i) of this AD. Therefore, we have added paragraph
(k)(1)(iii) to this AD to specify the previous AMOCs that are approved
for the provisions of paragraph (i) of this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the change described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR part 51

    Airbus has issued Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4, ``System
Equipment Maintenance Requirements (SEMR),'' Revision 03 at Issue 02,
dated January 22, 2016. This service information describes preventive
maintenance requirements and includes updated inspections and intervals
to be incorporated into the maintenance or inspection program. This
service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 1,032 airplanes of U.S. registry.

    The actions required by AD 2014-26-10, and retained in this AD take
about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions
that are required by AD 2014-26-10 is $85 per product.
    We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of this AD on U.S. operators to be $87,720, or $85 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes to the Director of the System Oversight
Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2014-26-10, Amendment 39-18061 (80 FR 2813, January 21, 2015), and
adding the following new AD:

2017-19-24 Airbus: Amendment 39-19054; Docket No. FAA-2017-0248;
Product Identifier 2016-NM-088-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective November 1, 2017.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2014-26-10, Amendment 39-18061 (80 FR 2813,
January 21, 2015) (``AD 2014-26-10'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to the Airbus airplanes identified in paragraphs
(c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3), and (c)(4) of this AD; certificated in any
category; with an original certificate of airworthiness or original
export certificate of airworthiness issued on or before December 21,
2015.
    (1) Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes.
    (2) Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133
airplanes.
    (3) Model A320-211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes.
    (4) Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232
airplanes.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 05, Time Limits/
Maintenance Checks.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a determination that more restrictive
maintenance instructions and airworthiness limitations are
necessary. We are issuing this AD to mitigate the risks associated
with aging effects of airplane systems. Such aging effects could
change the characteristics of the systems leading to an increased
potential for failure, which could result in failure of certain
life-limited parts, and reduced structural integrity or reduced
controllability of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Retained Requirement: Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision,
With New Reference To Terminating Action

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD
2014-26-10, with new reference to terminating action. Within 30 days
after February 25, 2015 (the effective date of AD 2014-26-10):
Revise the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations
Section, ALS Part 4, ``Aging Systems Maintenance,'' Revision 01,
dated June 15, 2012. The initial compliance time for doing the
actions is at the applicable time specified in Airbus A318/A319/
A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section, ALS Part 4, ``Aging
Systems Maintenance,'' Revision 01, dated June 15, 2012; or within 2
weeks after revising the maintenance or inspection program;
whichever occurs later. Accomplishing the actions specified in
paragraph (i) of this AD terminates the requirements of this
paragraph.

(h) Retained Requirement: No Alternative Actions or Intervals, With New
Paragraph Reference

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD
2014-26-10, with a new paragraph reference. Except as required by
paragraph (i) of this AD, after accomplishment of the revision
required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions or
intervals are approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC)
in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (k)(1) of
this AD.

(i) New Requirement: Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision

    Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD: Revise the
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate
Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS)
Part 4, ``System Equipment Maintenance Requirements (SEMR),''
Revision 03 at Issue 02, dated January 22, 2016. The initial
compliance time for doing the actions is at the applicable time
specified in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations
Section, ALS Part 4, ``System Equipment Maintenance Requirements
(SEMR),'' Revision 03 at Issue 02, dated January 22, 2016; or within
2 weeks after revising the maintenance or inspection program;
whichever occurs later. Accomplishing the actions specified in this
paragraph terminates the requirements of paragraph (g) of this AD.

(j) New Provision: No Alternative Actions or Intervals

    After the action required by paragraph (i) of this AD has been
done, no alternative actions (e.g., inspections) or intervals may be
used unless the actions or intervals are approved as an AMOC in
accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (k)(1) of this
AD.

Topic 1: Discussion of Specific Categories and Types of Transmission
Benefits That Transmission Providers Should Consider for the Purposes
of Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation

     The three specific categories/types of transmission
facilities considered for the purposes of transmission planning and
cost allocation are reliability, economics, and public policy. Can and
should these three categories and types of transmission that are
considered for the purposes of transmission planning and cost
allocation be expanded or changed? If so, what specific categories or
types of benefits should be considered for the purposes of allocating
the cost of transmission to ratepayers?
     Are the existing three categories of transmission being
adequately considered or can they be improved upon--either separately
or together--and if so how?
     Are there any specific benefits being considered by
transmission providers today that should be more widely adopted by
other transmission providers? Are certain benefits unique to specific
regions?
     How should certainty of benefits be addressed? For
example, should benefits be quantifiable? What tools are available or
should be developed to account for uncertainty?

Topic 2: Discussion of Cost Allocation Principles, Methodologies, and
Decision Processes for the Purposes of Transmission Planning and Cost
Allocation

     Are current cost allocation methodologies used by
transmission providers allocating costs roughly commensurate with
estimated benefits, and if not, how should this be improved?
     Under what set of benefits--both existing and expanded--
would states be amenable to bearing the costs of transmission that is
expected to deliver those estimated benefits to ratepayers?
     Is there sufficient opportunity for stakeholders,
including states, to collaborate in the development and approval of
cost allocation methodologies to build consensus among and increase
buy-in from stakeholders within a transmission planning region, and if
not, how can this be improved?
