The procedures and filing rights set forth in this Section 5.1.1 apply only to changes in the transmission rate design under the PJM Tariff for joint rates or, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.1.1(c), changes affecting the overall PJM rate design.

(a) The PJM Transmission Owners shall have the exclusive and unilateral rights to file pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act and the FERC’s rules and regulations thereunder for any changes in or relating to the establishment and recovery of the PJM Transmission Owners’ transmission revenue requirements or the transmission rate design under the PJM Tariff, and such filing rights shall also encompass any provisions of the PJM Tariff governing the recovery of transmission related costs incurred by the PJM Transmission Owners. Nothing herein is intended to limit or change the right of individual PJM Transmission Owners under Section 2.2.1 of the PJM Tariff to make their own Section 205 filings to change the transmission revenue requirement within their own zones, including the right of individual Transmission Owners to file for zonal transmission revenue requirements based on incentive or performance factors. The PJM Transmission Owners may only file under Section 205 to change the transmission rate design for the PJM region pursuant to a filing approved in accordance with this Agreement, Section 6.5.1 of the East Transmission Owners Agreement and Section 6.5.1 of the West Transmission Owners Agreement.

(f) The listing of provisions in Sections (d) and (e) above is not exclusive, and failure to specify a provision of the PJM Tariff in this Section 5.1.1 shall not be deemed to be an admission or agreement by the PJM Transmission Owners that such provision or any change thereto does not relate to the establishment and recovery of the PJM Transmission Owners’ transmission revenue requirements or the transmission rate design under the PJM Tariff, or encompass any provisions of the PJM Tariff governing the recovery of transmission-related costs incurred by the PJM Transmission Owners. The PJM Transmission Owners reserve their rights to assert that other provisions of the PJM Tariff should be included within their Section 205 rights, and PJM reserves its rights to contest such assertions.

(g) The PJM Transmission Owners’ Section 205 rights shall include the unilateral right to file for incentive and performance based rates that affect or relate to transmission revenue requirements, transmission rate design, or any performance or incentive rates in which the incentives to the PJM Transmission Owners may be measured by savings or efficiencies in the power or ancillary services markets resulting from the construction, operation or maintenance of Transmission Facilities. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit PJM’s right to make Section 205 filings to establish incentive or performance based rates applicable to market participants, provided that PJM must obtain the prior approval of the PJM Transmission Owners (pursuant to this Agreement, Section 6.5.1 of the East Transmission Owners Agreement, and Section 6.5.1 of the West Transmission Owners Agreement) for any portion of such a filing that reasonably could be expected to affect the establishment and recovery of the PJM Transmission Owners’ transmission revenue requirements, transmission rate design or the recovery of transmission-related costs by the PJM Transmission Owners.

5.1.2 Retention of Rate Structure. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.1, Dominion Virginia Power may propose to the FERC that the existing Rate Design is just and reasonable and should remain in effect beyond the date that it would otherwise terminate, provided such proposal conforms with the Going-Forward Principles and Procedures accepted by FERC on March 19, 2004 in Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc., et al., 106 FERC 61,204 (2004). Nothing herein is intended to limit the rights of Dominion Virginia Power or any other person to oppose a proposal to retain the existing Rate Design.

5.1. 3 Transmission Rate Zone Size. For purposes of developing rates for service under the PJM Tariff, transmission rate zones smaller than those shown in Attachment J to the PJM Tariff that are within the PJM South Region, or subzones of those zones, shall not be permitted within the boundaries of the PJM South Region; provided, however, that additional zones may be established if the boundaries of the PJM South Region are expanded to accommodate new parties to this Agreement.

5.1.4 Reservation of Rights. Nothing in this Article 5 is intended to modify in any way Dominion Virginia Power’s rights under Section 2.2.1 of this Agreement. Dominion Virginia Power shall have the right at any time to file, pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, to establish the payments to Dominion Virginia Power by PJM in connection with PJM’s use of Dominion Virginia Power’s Transmission Facilities in the provision of services under the PJM Tariff.

5.2 Changes in Terms and Conditions. Dominion Virginia Power may propose to revise any of the non-rate terms and conditions of the PJM Tariff in a manner consistent with requirements of FERC. Any such proposal shall be submitted to PJM for action pursuant to the Operating Agreement.

PJM may file with less than a full seven (7) day advance consultation in circumstances where imminent harm to system reliability or imminent severe economic harm to electric consumers requires a prompt Section 205 filing; provided that PJM shall provide as much advance notice and consultation with the PJM Transmission Owners and the PJM Members Committee as is practicable in such circumstances, and no such emergency filing shall be made with less than 24 hours advance notice.

(c) Nothing herein is intended to limit the rights of Dominion Virginia Power or any other person to oppose such a Section 205 filing pursuant to Section 206 or any other applicable provision of the Federal Power Act or to limit the right of any Party or other person to make filings under Section 206 of the Federal Power Act.

(d) To the extent that PJM desires to add a provision to the PJM Tariff, or to change an existing provision thereof, in accordance with its rights under Section 5.2.1(a), the PJM Transmission Owners shall have unilateral and exclusive rights to make Section 205 filings with respect to any matters covered by such new or changed provisions relating to the establishment and recovery of the PJM Transmission Owners’ transmission revenue requirements, the transmission rate design under the PJM Tariff, or any provisions governing the recovery of transmission-related costs incurred by the PJM Transmission Owners.

If at the time that a proposal to change or amend any part of the PJM Tariff, or to add any new provision, is submitted to PJM or the PJM Transmission Owners for consultation pursuant to Section 5.1.1(b) or 5.2.1(b), a dispute arises as to which party has Section 205 rights to make such filing, the following procedures shall apply:

(i) The Administrative Committee and PJM shall meet promptly prior to the filing in order to resolve the dispute. Such resolution shall include a joint Section 205 filing by the PJM Transmission Owners and PJM.

(ii) If the PJM Transmission Owners propose to make the Section 205 filing, they shall defer such filing beyond the 30 day notice and consultation period provided for in Section 5.1.1(b) for up to 10 additional days at the request of PJM to allow the dispute to be resolved.

(iii) If PJM proposes to make the Section 205 filing, it shall defer any filing beyond the 7 day notice and consultation period provided for in Section 5.2.1(b) for up to 10 additional days to allow the dispute to be resolved.

(iv) In order to resolve a dispute, the agreement of the PJM Transmission Owners must be obtained by a vote in accordance with this Agreement, Section 6.5.1 of the East Transmission Owners Agreement, and Section 6.5.1 of the West Transmission Owners Agreement.
