Pepco (NYSE:POM) and Exelon (NYSE:EXC) disclose they have filed an application with the D.C. Public Service Commission requesting reconsideration of the order denying the companies' pending merger.

Also, D.C. Mayor Bowser says the companies are negotiating a settlement with her administration that would address regulators' concerns about affordability reliability and sustainability.

The commission has up to 30 days, subject to extension, to issue its decision on the application.
