d) Review the NAESB Network Integration Transmission Service (NITS) Business OASIS and Technical Standards for needed modifications based on implementation and operational experiences since their adoption. Areas of investigation should include, but are not limited to: Corrections and clarifications of existing standards Evaluate adding a customer response time limit once a NITS request has been set to the status of DEFICIENT and develop new standards/modifications as needed Evaluate all ModifyNITS Templates to determine additional fields that may be modified and develop new standards/modifications as needed Evaluate adding CUSTOMER_NAME in the DNR List and develop new standards/modifications as needed Evaluate adding the ability to annul a generator record and develop new standards/modifications as needed Modifications for support of fractional megawatt quantities as applicable, e.g. generator capacity Potential extensions to requesting and modifying scheduling rights Flexibility in use of service points On designating network resources On terminating network resources On addition of load Requests independent of resource designations New standards to be developed to address specific areas of concern within the industry Status: Started Develop new OASIS Business Practice Standards to ensure that reservation e) OASIS capacity that is assigned to untagged Pseudo-Ties is preserved for that purpose. Develop a mechanism to reduce the Uncommitted Capacity of PTP reservations that support untagged Pseudo-Ties to prevent the capacity used for the Pseudo-Tie to be otherwise encumbered (redirected, resold, tagged, etc.). The subcommittee may wish to adopt a practice that considers the full PTP reservation registered in a Pseudo-Tie to be fully bound (fully encumbered) or may wish to develop a more robust mechanism for encumbering portions of the reserved capacity. The standards should prohibit releasing as non-firm ATC the capacity reserved for an untagged Pseudo-Tie. Require that all new Pseudo-Tie reservations be Tier 1 or unconditional Tier 2, so that they are not subject to preemption after confirmation. Expand SAMTS to permit Coordinated Requests to be reduced or terminated by the Transmission Customer if the Coordinated Group includes a reservation that is denied registration in a Pseudo-Tie in webRegistry. The new standard will also minimize the potential for unreserved use penalties due to double-use of a reservation if it should simultaneously a) serve a reservation for the Pseudo-Tie and also b) serve as the basis for deliver energy on
