The costs of Interregional Transmission Projects, as defined in the Protocol, evaluated under the Protocol and selected by PJM and NYISO (the “Regions”) in their regional transmission plans for purposes of cost allocation under their respective tariffs shall, when applicable, be allocated to the PJM Region and the NYISO Region in accordance with the cost allocation principles of FERC Order No. 1000, as follows:
(a) To be eligible for interregional cost allocation pursuant to this Section 35.10.2, an Interregional Transmission Project must be selected in both the PJM and NYISO regional transmission plans for purposes of cost allocation pursuant to agreements and tariffs on file at FERC for each Region, and must be planned for construction in both the PJM region and the NYISO Region.

(e) The present value analysis for all displaced regional transmission projects shall use a common discount rate. PJM and NYISO, in consultation with their respective transmission owners, and NYISO in consultation with other stakeholders, shall agree on the discount rate to be used for the present value analysis.
(f) PJM and NYISO, in consultation with the transmission owners in their respective regions, and NYISO in consultation with other stakeholders, shall review and determine that the cost estimates of the displaced regional transmission projects have been determined in a comparable manner prior to applying this cost allocation.
