FOOTNOTES - APPLICABLE TO SECONDARY, NON-FIRM, and FIRM TRANSMISSION REQUESTS
1. Provider Evaluation time limit measurement start at the time the request is QUEUED on our OASIS.
2. Confirmation time limits are not to be interpreted to extend scheduling deadlines or to override preexemption deadlines.
3. For Customer Confirmation Time the measurement starts at the time the request is either ACCEPTED or
COUNTEROFFER by the Transmission Provider. Failure to CONFIRM within the time limit will result in the
transmission request being RETRACTED. The time limit does not reset on subsequent changes of state.
4. All transmission requests submitted with less than 1 hour prior to start must be preconfirmed, if the request
isn’t preconfirmed the request will be made INVALID.
5. All Non-Firm Transmission Requests can be Displaced or Superseded by a Firm Transmission Request,
regardless if the Firm Transmission Request is lesser in duration. The Non-Firm request will have no ability
to Match the duration.
