Robert, this was last June, not the upcoming one. See the date in the header. That's not a typo.

The June deadline was for California to join an RTO, which they never did. Last April 30th (the last day on which to comply with the FERC order) California claimed that their Cal-ISO was an RTO (which it's not and never could be due to lack of independence).

FERC let them slide on this one too, as well as the "underscheduling" penalties. FERC is looking to me like a paper tiger.

P.S. This platts.com website is new to me, and looks pretty good at first blush.

I stand corrected. I jumped to conclusions. Ferc has obviously let CA slide on this one. There is a national deadline fast approaching on RTO all accross the US. Most of the utilities are saying that they want more time to file their plans and FERC is saying that they want to get this done soon. Again, thanks for educating me on this.
