     The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) seeks comments on the proposed 2012 update to the Technical Reference Manual. In a Tentative Order adopted at its September 22, 2011 public meeting, the Commission released, for comment, the proposed 2012 version of the Energy-Efficiency and DSM Rules for Pennsylvania's Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard, Technical Reference Manual (TRM). A copy of the Tentative Order can be found on the Commission's website at http://www.puc.state.pa.us//pcdocs/1147084.docx. A copy of the proposed 2012 version of the TRM and its appendices can be found on the Commission's website at http://www.puc.state.pa.us//pcdocs/1147131.docx, http://www.puc.state.pa.us//pcdocs/1147128.xls and http://www.puc.state.pa.us//pcdocs/1147125.xls.

In that Implementation Order, the Commission also noted that the TRM needed to be updated and expanded to fulfill the requirements of the EE&C Program.

     In an Order entered June 1, 2009 at Docket No. M-00051865, the Commission directed that the TRM be updated on an annual basis. In furtherance of this directive, the Commission is seeking comments on the proposed 2012 update to the TRM. Interested parties have 20 days from the date of the publication of this Notice to file written comments and 30 days after publication of this Notice to file reply comments with the Secretary of the Commission, referencing Docket No. M-00051865.
