(MISO) and MISO transmission owners (collectively, Joint \nMovants).2 Joint Movants ask the Commission to hold this proceeding in abeyance by 90 days \nand, in so doing, extend certain deadlines for responding to the June 18, 2026 Order to Show \nCause (Show Cause Order).3 \nThe issues raised in the Show Cause Order raise complex and substantial issues that \nrequire due consideration to craft solutions that are appropriately tailored to the region. Granting \nthe requested abeyance will promote administrative efficiencies by allowing time for MISO and \nstakeholders—including CEBA and its members—to work collaboratively, as opposed to a \nrushed proposal that would unnecessarily shift stakeholder debate to the Commission docket. \nLastly, the requested abeyance strikes an appropriate balance: a 90-day extension would not \nmaterially impede the Commission’s objectives for advancing reforms quickly yet offers \nsignificant benefits in terms of enabling proposals to receive sufficient stakeholder feedback to \n \n1 18 C.F.R. § 385.213. \n2 Joint Movants August 3, 2026 Motion for Abeyance. \n3 Midcontinent Indep.
