Corporation (Complainant) filed (1) a formal complaint against Midwest
Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (Respondent or MISO),
alleging that the MISO QF Integration Plan is unlawful, in violation of

facilities (QFs) to register for and participate in its markets without
forgoing their statutory rights under PURPA and FERC's implementing
