(“PJM”) submitted, pursuant \nto Federal Power Act section 205, 16 U.S.C. § 824d, revisions to the PJM Open Access \nTransmission Tariff (“Tariff”) to update the Reliability Backstop Procurement (“RBP”) \nrules to address, inter alia, issues identified in the Commission’s September 29 Order1 \n(“October 29 Filing”).2  In the October 29 Filing, PJM requested that proposed new \nTariff, Attachment DD, section 18.3A become effective January 29, 2027, and the \nremainder of the proposed Tariff revisions become effective February 28, 2027.3  PJM \nalso sought a one-time, prospective waiver of certain requirements under Tariff, \nAttachment DD, section 16.4 \n \nAfter submitting this filing, PJM discovered that when it entered the metadata for \nproposed new Tariff, Attachment DD, section 18.3A, PJM incorrectly entered an \neffective date of January 15, 2027, instead of January 29, 2027.  Accordingly, to correct \nthis clerical error, PJM submits a corrected version of the sole affected tariff record, i.e., \nproposed new Tariff, Attachment DD, section 18.3A only to make the ministerial \nrevision to the metadata, to be effective January 29, 2027, as proposed in the October 29 \n \n1 PJM Interconnection, L.L.C., 196 FERC ¶ 61,245 (2026) (“September 29 Order”). \n2 PJM Interconnection, L.L.C., Proposed Amendments to the Reliability Backstop Procurement Motion for \nExtended, 32-Day Comment Period Request for Waiver of Tariff Attachment DD, Section 16.2 \nRequirement to Investigate Capacity Shortfall, Docket No. ER27-330-000 (Oct. 29, 2026). \n3 October 29 Filing, Transmittal Letter at 62. \n4 Id. at 57-60."},{"page":2,"startToken":334,"endToken":738,"text":"Debbie-Anne Reese, Secretary \n \nOctober 30, 2026 \n \nPage 2 \n \n \nFiling transmittal letter.5  This correction to the metadata for proposed new Tariff, \nAttachment DD, section 18.3A does not otherwise change the original October 29 Filing, \nand the effective dates for all other tariff revisions submitted in the October 29 Filing are \nnot affected by this filing. \n \nIn addition, PJM discovered it inadvertently omitted in the October 29 Filing’s \ntransmittal letter reference to Tariff, Attachment DD, section 16.3 in the caption, the \nheading to Part IV, and in the text on page 60.  Page 3 of the transmittal letter clearly \nstates PJM’s request for waiver includes a requirement in Tariff, Attachment DD, \nsection 16.3,6 but PJM inadvertently failed to carry through citations to this Tariff section \nin the caption and Part IV of the transmittal letter.  Accordingly, PJM has corrected the \ncaption, the heading to Part IV, and page 60 of the attached transmittal letter to include \nreferences to Tariff, Attachment DD, section 16.3.  Indeed, page 60 of the corrected \ntransmittal provides that “PJM seeks a one-time waiver of Tariff, Attachment DD, \nsections 16.2 and 16.3 upon completion of the 2029/2030 Base Residual Auction in the \nevent such auction clears short.”7  PJM has attached hereto as Attachment A, a revised \nversion of the transmittal letter, reflecting the corrections described above and making no \nother changes.8  \n \nPlease contact the undersigned with any questions. \n \nRespectfully, \n \n/s/ Ryan J.
