that hour the actual hourly integrated energy deviates from the hourly average
energy profile indicated on the tag by more than +25 megawatt-hours.
R2.3.
A Reliability Coordinator or Transmission Operator determines the deviation,
regardless of magnitude, to be a reliability concern and notifies the PurchasingSelling Entity of that determination and the reasons.

the Compliance Monitor upon request:
1.4.5
For compliance audits and spot checks, relevant data and system log
records for the audit period which indicate the Interchange Authority’s
distribution of all Arranged Interchange information to all reliability
entities involved in an Interchange. The Compliance Monitor may request
up to a three month period of historical data ending with the date the
request is received by the Interchange Authority.
1.4.6
For specific complaints, only those data and system log records associated
with the specific Interchange event contained in the complaint which
indicate that the Interchange Authority distributed the Arranged
Interchange information to all reliability entities involved in that specific
Interchange.

To ensure that each Arranged Interchange is checked for reliability before it is
implemented.
4.
Applicability:
4.1. Balancing Authority.
4.2. Transmission Service Provider.
5.
Effective Date:
July 1, 2010
B. Requirements
R1.
Prior to the expiration of the reliability assessment period defined in the timing requirements
tables in this standard, Column B, the Balancing Authority and Transmission Service Provider
shall respond to each On-time Request for Interchange (RFI), and to each Emergency RFI and
Reliability Adjustment RFI from an Interchange Authority to transition an Arranged
Interchange to a Confirmed Interchange. 1
R1.1.
Each involved Balancing Authority shall evaluate the Arranged Interchange with
respect to:
R1.1.1. Energy profile (ability to support the magnitude of the Interchange).
R1.1.2. Ramp (ability of generation maneuverability to accommodate).
R1.1.3. Scheduling path (proper connectivity of Adjacent Balancing Authorities).
R1.2.
Each involved Transmission Service Provider shall confirm that the transmission
service arrangements associated with the Arranged Interchange have adjacent
Transmission Service Provider connectivity, are valid and prevailing transmission
system limits will not be violated.
C. Measures
M1. The Balancing Authority and Transmission Service Provider shall each provide evidence that it
responded, relative to transitioning an Arranged Interchange to a Confirmed Interchange, to
each On–time Request for Interchange (RFI), and to each Emergency RFI or Reliability
Adjustment RFI from an Interchange Authority within the reliability assessment period defined
in the Timing Table, Column B. The Balancing Authority and Transmission Service Provider
need not provide evidence that it responded to any other requests.
D. Compliance
1.
Compliance Monitoring Process
1.1. Compliance Monitoring Responsibility
Regional Reliability Organization.
1.2. Compliance Monitoring Period and Reset Time Frame
The Performance-Reset Period shall be twelve months from the last non-compliance to
Requirement 1.

1.3. Data Retention
The Balancing Authority and Transmission Service Provider shall each keep 90 days of
historical data. The Compliance Monitor shall keep audit records for a minimum of three
calendar years.
1.4. Additional Compliance Information
The Balancing Authority and Transmission Service Provider shall demonstrate
compliance to the Compliance Monitor within the first year that this standard becomes
effective or the first year the entity commences operation by self-certification to the
Compliance Monitor.
Subsequent to the initial compliance review, compliance may be:
1.4.1
Verified by audit at least once every three years.
1.4.2
Verified by spot checks in years between audits.
1.4.3
Verified by annual audits of non-compliant Interchange Authorities, until
compliance is demonstrated.
1.4.4
Verified at any time as the result of a complaint. Complaints must be lodged
within 60 days of the incident. The Compliance Monitor will evaluate
complaints.
The Balancing Authority, and Transmission Service Provider shall make the
following available for inspection by the Compliance Monitor upon request:
2.
1.4.5
For compliance audits and spot checks, relevant data and system log records and
agreements for the audit period which indicate a reliability entity identified in R1
responded to all instances of the Interchange Authority’s communication under
Reliability Standard INT-005 Requirement 1 concerning the pending transition of
an Arranged Interchange to Confirmed Interchange. The Compliance Monitor
may request up to a three month period of historical data ending with the date the
request is received by the Balancing Authority, or Transmission Service
Provider.
1.4.6
For specific complaints, agreements and those data and system log records
associated with the specific Interchange event contained in the complaint which
indicates a reliability entity identified in R1 has responded to the Interchange
Authority’s communication under INT-005 R1 concerning the pending transition
of Arranged Interchange to Confirmed Interchange for that specific Interchange.
Levels of Non-Compliance
2.1. Level 1:
in R1.
One occurrence 2 of not responding to the Interchange Authority as described
2.2. Level 2:
Two occurrences1 of not responding to the Interchange Authority as
described in R1.
2.3. Level 3:
Three occurrences1 of not responding to the Interchange Authority as
described in R1.

Interchange Authority.
C. Measures
M1. The Balancing Authority shall provide evidence that Implemented Interchange matches
Confirmed Interchange as submitted by the Interchange Authority.
M2. Evidence shall demonstrate that the Interchange was implemented in the Balancing Authority’s
Area Control Error (ACE) equation, or the system that calculates the ACE equation. Evidence
may be on a net basis or an individual Interchange basis.
M3. Balancing Authorities that are interconnected with a direct current tie shall demonstrate that the
Interchange was implemented in the ACE equation or modeled as an equivalent generator/load
within its area.
