## Abstract

In this Final Rule, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is amending its regulations under the Federal Power Act to improve the operation of organized wholesale electric markets in the areas of: Demand response and market pricing during periods of operating reserve shortage; long-term power contracting; market- monitoring policies; and the responsiveness of regional transmission organizations (RTOs) and independent system operators (ISOs) to their customers and other stakeholders, and ultimately to the consumers who benefit from and pay for electricity services. Each RTO and ISO will be required to make certain filings that propose amendments to its tariff to comply with the requirements in each area, or that demonstrate that its existing tariff and market design already satisfy the requirements.
