Require FERC to issue rules modifying transmission planning processes to integrate planning across interregional, regional, and covered local transmission facilities and account for near-, medium-, and long-term transmission needs.

“(b) Rulemaking .—Not later than 6 months after the date of enactment of this section, the Commission shall propose a rule, and not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this section, the Commission shall issue a final rule, to modify and augment existing transmission planning processes, so as to— “(1) integrate the planning for interregional transmission facilities, regional transmission facilities, and covered local transmission facilities; “(2) account for near-term (less than 5 years), medium term (5–10 years), and long term (10–20 years and beyond) transmission needs;

The bill would require FERC to propose and finalize rules integrating different levels of transmission planning and accounting for transmission needs across multiple time horizons.
