Current Ballot • ERCOT Request for Interpretation - BAL-003-0, R2, 2.2, 5, and 5.1 (08/27/07 - 09/05/07) The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) submitted a Request for an Interpretation of BAL-003-0 — Frequency Response and Bias Requirements 2, 2.2, 5, and 5.1. The request asked if there was a conflict between Requirement 2, which allows use of a variable bias setting and Requirement 5, which does not specifically address the use of a variable bias setting. The Interpretation clarifies that in reliability standard BAL-003-0, Requirements 2 and 5 do not conflict with one another. The initial ballot for this interpretation is open and will close at 8 p.m. (EDT) on Wednesday, September 5, 2007.

Specifically, the WECC asks that NERC conclude and confirm that the WECC's Automatic Time Error Control Procedure (ATEC) does not violate NERC standards. This interpretation would permit the continued use of WECC's ATEC within the Western Interconnection.   The interpretation of BAL-001 R1 and BAL-003 R3 was approved by stakeholders and is pending regulatory filing.
