Is some kind of flow control device needed or required as a part of the project? Is the project connected to other utilities systems? Do disturbances impact other entities? WECC staff posts the list of projects and notifies the PCC, TEPPC, and TSS. The waiver is granted unless a letter from a WECC member opposing the waiver is received within 30 days. Any WECC member(s) that believes the project should not be granted a waiver must submit a letter to the PCC chair with a copy to the project sponsor and WECC staff within 30 calendar days of the posting of the list. The letter must outline the reason(s) for not granting the waiver and include a request that the project proceeds with the Project Coordination Process.

The PCC chair determines if the waiver will be granted within 20 calendar days of posting the letter opposing the waiver. If the project sponsor is also the PCC chair, such determination will be made by the PCC vice chair. Procedures The following procedures cover requirements for reporting project status and technical studies. The purpose of these project progress and study reports is to encourage early communication of plans and to maintain flexibility for changes during the period of advanced planning. These reports should contain enough meaningful data to stimulate constructive discussion with the intent to share information and experience with WECC members. Progress Reports Initial Progress Report Soon after a project is made public, the project sponsor or Interconnecting Utility shall submit, in electronic form if possible, the Initial Progress Report to the WECC Technical staff and to TSS members. The content of the Initial Progress Report will depend on the design status of the system upgrade, addition, or project, but at a minimum should include: A brief physical description of the project, including points of interconnection, equipment capacities and voltages, and expected ratings. The planned operating date. The project status, including where the project is situated in the planning process and a tentative schedule for completion.
