NAESB Electronic Tagging (e-Tag) Specification Version 1.8.3 Implementation Plan Description of change(s): Please see the functionality document created by the NAESB Wholesale Electric Quadrant (WEQ) Coordinate Interchange Scheduling Subcommittee (CISS). Implementation: EIR Market Operator Role Implementation Date: TBD E-Tag v1.8.3 Implementation Date: TBD E-Tag v1.8.2 Retirement Date: TBD Since the implementation of e-Tag v1.8.3 changes impacts both the EIR and tagging, and in an effort to provide the industry sufficient time for transitioning their tags from one version to another, the roll out of version 1.8.3 can be achieved in three phases: Phase 1: Availability of EIR functionality to support the Market Operator Role EIR functionality to support the registration of Market Operators will be available by the Market Operator Role Implementation Date stated above. As part of this phase, industry participants will be able to register under the Market Operator role in the EIR. The EIR will also start publishing the Market Operator registry data. All tags created during this phase will be v1.8.2 tags, and market adjusts from BAs/TSPs registered as market operators in the EIR via the legacy flag will still continue to work as they do today. Phase 2: E-Tag v1.8.3 Implementation Vendors will enable the new e-Tag version at the Implementation Date. This will mark the start of a parallel operations phase of the e-Tag 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 versions, during which the tagging systems will behave as follows: E-Tags CREATED on or after the Implementation Date, but ENDING prior to the retirement date will be version 1.8.2 e-Tags. These e-Tags may optionally have Market Operators listed on them, however, they will continue to behave as they do today, i.e., Authority Services will ignore these Market Operators, and these Market Operators will not be required to approve e-Tags. Market adjusts from BAs/TSPs registered as market operators in the EIR via the legacy flag will still continue to work.
