  4. Revise Attachment P • Background • Attachment P Timing Specifications are not compliant with FERC Order 638 • Although present Attachment P specifications may be arguably better than Order 638 specifications, standardization with adjoining Transmission Providers was viewed to be the greater good • Recommendation • Approve the revisions which reflect compliance

  5. Include Next-Hour-Market Provisions • Background • NERC has proposed tariff modifications which have been approved by the FERC • Recommendation • Approve incorporation of the FERC approved language into the SPP OATT to Facilitate Next-Hour-Market activities

  6. Add New Attachment Y • Background • The EOC has approved a phased implementation of the proposal to increase transmission system utilization • The proposed new Attachment Y provides for a one-year experimental implementation of the first phase • Recommendation • Approve the addition of Attachment Y to the SPP OATT

  7. Scheduling Penalty Change • Background • The proposed change reduces the penalty to 200% of actual excess use • SPP scheduling software has been modified to reject tags that are in excess of the corresponding reservation • Recommendation • Approve the proposed revisions to Sec. 13.7

  8. Revise TLR Procedures • Background • NERC has revised its TLR Procedures • NERC has recently revised its IDC to implement the new procedures • Procedures included in the SPP OATT as Attachment R require replacement • Recommendation • Approve a revision to Attachment R which states that currently effective NERC TLR Procedures are incorporated by reference

  9. Sections 2.2 and 22 ROFR Issues • Background • ROFR issues discussed extensively at the RTWG • These revisions clarify the rights and obligations of both incumbent and new customers

  10. Sections 2.2 ROFR Issues • Change Time Frame to Respond to a competing request • Notify Both there is a competing Request • System Impact Study • Current User with ROFR must respond within 60 days of notification of a contingent service agreement • Customer given reservation pays for System Impact Study, If competing request is awarded any service it pays

  11. Sections 22 ROFR Issues • Clarify that requesting a change in path for an existing firm transmission reservation with remaining term of less than 1 year does not have ROFR • Treated as a new request
