2 Initial Allocation and Renewal Procedures

2.1 Initial Allocation of Available Transfer Capability
    For purposes of determining whether existing capability on the
Transmission Provider's Transmission System is adequate to accommodate
a request for firm service under this Tariff, all Completed
Applications for new firm transmission service received during the
initial sixty (60) day period commencing with the effective date of the
Tariff will be deemed to have been filed simultaneously. A lottery
system conducted by an independent party shall be used to assign
priorities for Completed Applications filed simultaneously. All
Completed Applications for firm transmission service received after the
initial sixty (60) day period shall be assigned a priority pursuant to
Section 13.2.
2.2 Reservation Priority For Existing Firm Service Customers
    Existing firm service customers (wholesale requirements and
transmission-only, with a contract term of five years or more), have
the right to continue to take transmission service from the
Transmission Provider when the contract expires, rolls over or is
renewed. This transmission reservation priority is independent of
whether the existing customer continues to purchase capacity and energy
from the Transmission Provider or elects to purchase capacity and
energy from another supplier. If at the end of the contract term, the
Transmission Provider's Transmission System cannot accommodate all of
the requests for transmission service, the existing firm service
customer must agree to accept a contract term at least equal to the
longer of a competing request by any new Eligible Customer or five
years and to pay the current just and reasonable rate, as approved by
the Commission, for such service. The existing firm service customer
must provide notice to the Transmission Provider whether it will
exercise its right of first refusal no less than one year prior to the
expiration date of its transmission service agreement. This
transmission reservation priority for existing firm service customers
is an ongoing right that may be exercised at the end of all firm
contract terms of five years or longer. Service agreements subject to a
right of first refusal entered into prior to [the acceptance by the
Commission of the Transmission Provider's Attachment K], unless
terminated, will become subject to the five year/one year requirement
on the first rollover date after [the acceptance by the Commission of
the Transmission Provider's Attachment K].

3 Ancillary Services

    Ancillary Services are needed with transmission service to maintain
reliability within and among the Control Areas affected by the
transmission service. The Transmission Provider is required to provide
(or offer to arrange with the local Control Area operator as discussed
below), and the Transmission Customer is required to purchase, the
following Ancillary Services (i) Scheduling, System Control and
Dispatch, and (ii) Reactive Supply and Voltage Control from Generation
Sources.
    The Transmission Provider is required to offer to provide (or offer
to arrange with the local Control Area operator as discussed below) the
following Ancillary Services only to the Transmission Customer serving
load within the Transmission Provider's Control Area (i) Regulation and
Frequency Response, (ii) Energy Imbalance, (iii) Operating Reserve--
Spinning, and (iv) Operating Reserve--Supplemental. The Transmission
Customer serving load within the Transmission Provider's Control Area
is required to acquire these Ancillary Services, whether from the
Transmission Provider, from a third party, or by self-supply. The
Transmission Customer may not decline the Transmission Provider's offer
of Ancillary Services unless it demonstrates that it has acquired the
Ancillary Services from another source. The Transmission Customer must
list in its Application which Ancillary Services it will purchase from
the Transmission Provider.
    If the Transmission Provider is a public utility providing
transmission service but is not a Control Area operator, it may be
unable to provide some or all of the Ancillary Services. In this case,
the Transmission Provider can fulfill its obligation to provide
Ancillary Services by acting as the Transmission Customer's agent to
secure these Ancillary Services from the Control Area operator. The
Transmission Customer may elect to (i) have the Transmission Provider
act as its agent, (ii) secure the Ancillary Services directly from the
Control Area operator, or (iii) secure the Ancillary Services
(discussed in Schedules 3, 4, 5 and 6) from a third party or by self-
supply when technically feasible. The Transmission Provider shall
specify the rate treatment and all related terms and conditions in the
event of an unauthorized use of Ancillary Services by the Transmission
Customer.
    The specific Ancillary Services, prices and/or compensation methods
are described on the Schedules that are attached to and made a part of
the Tariff. Three principal requirements apply to discounts for
Ancillary Services provided by the Transmission Provider in conjunction
with its provision of transmission service as follows: (1) Any offer of
a discount made by the Transmission Provider must be announced to all
Eligible Customers solely by posting on the OASIS, (2) any customer-
initiated requests for discounts (including requests for use by one's
wholesale merchant or an affiliate's use) must occur solely by posting
on the OASIS, and (3) once a discount is negotiated, details must be
immediately posted on the OASIS. A discount agreed upon for an
Ancillary Service must be offered for the same period to all Eligible
Customers on the Transmission Provider's system. Sections 3.1 through
3.6 below list the six Ancillary Services.
3.1 Scheduling, System Control and Dispatch Service
    The rates and/or methodology are described in Schedule 1.
3.2 Reactive Supply and Voltage Control From Generation Sources Service
    The rates and/or methodology are described in Schedule 2.
3.3 Regulation and Frequency Response Service
    Where applicable the rates and/or methodology are described in
Schedule 3.
3.4 Energy Imbalance Service
    Where applicable the rates and/or methodology are described in
Schedule 4.

3.5 Operating Reserve--Spinning Reserve Service
    Where applicable the rates and/or methodology are described in
Schedule 5.
3.6 Operating Reserve--Supplemental Reserve Service
    Where applicable the rates and/or methodology are described in
Schedule 6.

4 Open Access Same-Time Information System (OASIS)

    Terms and conditions regarding Open Access Same-Time Information
System and standards of conduct are set forth in 18 CFR 37 of the
Commission's regulations (Open Access Same-Time Information System and
Standards of Conduct for Public Utilities) and 18 CFR 38 of the
Commission's regulations (Business Practice Standards and Communication
Protocols for Public Utilities). In the event available transfer
capability as posted on the OASIS is insufficient to accommodate a
request for firm transmission service, additional studies may be
required as provided by this Tariff pursuant to Sections 19 and 32.

5 Local Furnishing Bonds

5.1 Transmission Providers That Own Facilities Financed by Local
Furnishing Bonds
    This provision is applicable only to Transmission Providers that
have financed facilities for the local furnishing of electric energy
with tax-exempt bonds, as described in Section 142(f) of the Internal
Revenue Code (``local furnishing bonds''). Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Tariff, the Transmission Provider shall not be
required to provide transmission service to any Eligible Customer
pursuant to this Tariff if the provision of such transmission service
would jeopardize the tax-exempt status of any local furnishing bond(s)
used to finance the Transmission Provider's facilities that would be
used in providing such transmission service.
5.2 Alternative Procedures for Requesting Transmission Service
    (i) If the Transmission Provider determines that the provision of
transmission service requested by an Eligible Customer would jeopardize
the tax-exempt status of any local furnishing bond(s) used to finance
its facilities that would be used in providing such transmission
service, it shall advise the Eligible Customer within thirty (30) days
of receipt of the Completed Application.
    (ii) If the Eligible Customer thereafter renews its request for the
same transmission service referred to in (i) by tendering an
application under Section 211 of the Federal Power Act, the
Transmission Provider, within ten (10) days of receiving a copy of the
Section 211 application, will waive its rights to a request for service
under Section 213(a) of the Federal Power Act and to the issuance of a
proposed order under Section 212(c) of the Federal Power Act. The
Commission, upon receipt of the Transmission Provider's waiver of its
rights to a request for service under Section 213(a) of the Federal
Power Act and to the issuance of a proposed order under Section 212(c)
of the Federal Power Act, shall issue an order under Section 211 of the
Federal Power Act. Upon issuance of the order under Section 211 of the
Federal Power Act, the Transmission Provider shall be required to
provide the requested transmission service in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Tariff.

6. Reciprocity

    A Transmission Customer receiving transmission service under this
Tariff agrees to provide comparable transmission service that it is
capable of providing to the Transmission Provider on similar terms and
conditions over facilities used for the transmission of electric energy
owned, controlled or operated by the Transmission Customer and over
facilities used for the transmission of electric energy owned,
controlled or operated by the Transmission Customer's corporate
affiliates. A Transmission Customer that is a member of a power pool or
Regional Transmission Group also agrees to provide comparable
transmission service to the members of such power pool and Regional
Transmission Group on similar terms and conditions over facilities used
for the transmission of electric energy owned, controlled or operated
by the Transmission Customer and over facilities used for the
transmission of electric energy owned, controlled or operated by the
Transmission Customer's corporate affiliates.
    This reciprocity requirement applies not only to the Transmission
Customer that obtains transmission service under the Tariff, but also
to all parties to a transaction that involves the use of transmission
service under the Tariff, including the power seller, buyer and any
intermediary, such as a power marketer. This reciprocity requirement
also applies to any Eligible Customer that owns, controls or operates
transmission facilities that uses an intermediary, such as a power
marketer, to request transmission service under the Tariff. If the
Transmission Customer does not own, control or operate transmission
facilities, it must include in its Application a sworn statement of one
of its duly authorized officers or other representatives that the
purpose of its Application is not to assist an Eligible Customer to
avoid the requirements of this provision.

7 Billing and Payment

7.1 Billing Procedure
    Within a reasonable time after the first day of each month, the
Transmission Provider shall submit an invoice to the Transmission
Customer for the charges for all services furnished under the Tariff
during the preceding month. The invoice shall be paid by the
Transmission Customer within twenty (20) days of receipt. All payments
shall be made in immediately available funds payable to the
Transmission Provider, or by wire transfer to a bank named by the
Transmission Provider.
7.2 Interest on Unpaid Balances
    Interest on any unpaid amounts (including amounts placed in escrow)
shall be calculated in accordance with the methodology specified for
interest on refunds in the Commission's regulations at 18 CFR
35.19a(a)(2)(iii). Interest on delinquent amounts shall be calculated
from the due date of the bill to the date of payment. When payments are
made by mail, bills shall be considered as having been paid on the date
of receipt by the Transmission Provider.
7.3 Customer Default
    In the event the Transmission Customer fails, for any reason other
than a billing dispute as described below, to make payment to the
Transmission Provider on or before the due date as described above, and
such failure of payment is not corrected within thirty (30) calendar
days after the Transmission Provider notifies the Transmission Customer
to cure such failure, a default by the Transmission Customer shall be
deemed to exist. Upon the occurrence of a default, the Transmission
Provider may initiate a proceeding with the Commission to terminate
service but shall not terminate service until the Commission so
approves any such request. In the event of a billing dispute between
the Transmission Provider and the Transmission Customer, the
Transmission Provider will continue to provide service under the
Service Agreement as long as the Transmission Customer (i) continues to
make all

payments not in dispute, and (ii) pays into an independent escrow
account the portion of the invoice in dispute, pending resolution of
such dispute. If the Transmission Customer fails to meet these two
requirements for continuation of service, then the Transmission
Provider may provide notice to the Transmission Customer of its
intention to suspend service in sixty (60) days, in accordance with
Commission policy.

8 Accounting for the Transmission Provider's Use of the Tariff

    The Transmission Provider shall record the following amounts, as
outlined below.
8.1 Transmission Revenues
    Include in a separate operating revenue account or subaccount the
revenues it receives from Transmission Service when making Third-Party
Sales under Part II of the Tariff.
8.2 Study Costs and Revenues
    Include in a separate transmission operating expense account or
subaccount, costs properly chargeable to expense that are incurred to
perform any System Impact Studies or Facilities Studies which the
Transmission Provider conducts to determine if it must construct new
transmission facilities or upgrades necessary for its own uses,
including making Third-Party Sales under the Tariff; and include in a
separate operating revenue account or subaccount the revenues received
for System Impact Studies or Facilities Studies performed when such
amounts are separately stated and identified in the Transmission
Customer's billing under the Tariff.

9 Regulatory Filings

    Nothing contained in the Tariff or any Service Agreement shall be
construed as affecting in any way the right of the Transmission
Provider to unilaterally make application to the Commission for a
change in rates, terms and conditions, charges, classification of
service, Service Agreement, rule or regulation under Section 205 of the
Federal Power Act and pursuant to the Commission's rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder.
    Nothing contained in the Tariff or any Service Agreement shall be
construed as affecting in any way the ability of any Party receiving
service under the Tariff to exercise its rights under the Federal Power
Act and pursuant to the Commission's rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.

10 Force Majeure and Indemnification

10.1 Force Majeure
    An event of Force Majeure means any act of God, labor disturbance,
act of the public enemy, war, insurrection, riot, fire, storm or flood,
explosion, breakage or accident to machinery or equipment, any
Curtailment, order, regulation or restriction imposed by governmental
military or lawfully established civilian authorities, or any other
cause beyond a Party's control. A Force Majeure event does not include
an act of negligence or intentional wrongdoing. Neither the
Transmission Provider nor the Transmission Customer will be considered
in default as to any obligation under this Tariff if prevented from
fulfilling the obligation due to an event of Force Majeure. However, a
Party whose performance under this Tariff is hindered by an event of
Force Majeure shall make all reasonable efforts to perform its
obligations under this Tariff.
10.2 Indemnification
    The Transmission Customer shall at all times indemnify, defend, and
save the Transmission Provider harmless from any and all damages,
losses, claims, including claims and actions relating to injury to or
death of any person or damage to property, demands, suits, recoveries,
costs and expenses, court costs, attorney fees, and all other
obligations by or to third parties, arising out of or resulting from
the Transmission Provider's performance of its obligations under this
Tariff on behalf of the Transmission Customer, except in cases of
negligence or intentional wrongdoing by the Transmission Provider.

11 Creditworthiness

    The Transmission Provider will specify its Creditworthiness
procedures in Attachment L.

12 Dispute Resolution Procedures

12.1 Internal Dispute Resolution Procedures
    Any dispute between a Transmission Customer and the Transmission
Provider involving transmission service under the Tariff (excluding
applications for rate changes or other changes to the Tariff, or to any
Service Agreement entered into under the Tariff, which shall be
presented directly to the Commission for resolution) shall be referred
to a designated senior representative of the Transmission Provider and
a senior representative of the Transmission Customer for resolution on
an informal basis as promptly as practicable. In the event the
designated representatives are unable to resolve the dispute within
thirty (30) days [or such other period as the Parties may agree upon]
by mutual agreement, such dispute may be submitted to arbitration and
resolved in accordance with the arbitration procedures set forth below.
12.2 External Arbitration Procedures
    Any arbitration initiated under the Tariff shall be conducted
before a single neutral arbitrator appointed by the Parties. If the
Parties fail to agree upon a single arbitrator within ten (10) days of
the referral of the dispute to arbitration, each Party shall choose one
arbitrator who shall sit on a three-member arbitration panel. The two
arbitrators so chosen shall within twenty (20) days select a third
arbitrator to chair the arbitration panel. In either case, the
arbitrators shall be knowledgeable in electric utility matters,
including electric transmission and bulk power issues, and shall not
have any current or past substantial business or financial
relationships with any party to the arbitration (except prior
arbitration). The arbitrator(s) shall provide each of the Parties an
opportunity to be heard and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall
generally conduct the arbitration in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and any
applicable Commission regulations or Regional Transmission Group rules.
12.3 Arbitration Decisions
    Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitrator(s) shall render a decision
within ninety (90) days of appointment and shall notify the Parties in
writing of such decision and the reasons therefor. The arbitrator(s)
shall be authorized only to interpret and apply the provisions of the
Tariff and any Service Agreement entered into under the Tariff and
shall have no power to modify or change any of the above in any manner.
The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon the
Parties, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction. The decision of the arbitrator(s) may be appealed solely
on the grounds that the conduct of the arbitrator(s), or the decision
itself, violated the standards set forth in the Federal Arbitration Act
and/or the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act. The final decision of
the arbitrator must also be filed with the Commission if it affects
jurisdictional rates, terms and conditions of service or facilities.

12.4 Costs
    Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs incurred during
the arbitration process and for the following costs, if applicable:
    1. The cost of the arbitrator chosen by the Party to sit on the
three member panel and one half of the cost of the third arbitrator
chosen; or
    2. One half the cost of the single arbitrator jointly chosen by the
Parties.
12.5 Rights Under the Federal Power Act
    Nothing in this section shall restrict the rights of any party to
file a Complaint with the Commission under relevant provisions of the
Federal Power Act.

II. Point-To-Point Transmission Service

Preamble

    The Transmission Provider will provide Firm and Non-Firm Point-To-
Point Transmission Service pursuant to the applicable terms and
conditions of this Tariff. Point-To-Point Transmission Service is for
the receipt of capacity and energy at designated Point(s) of Receipt
and the transfer of such capacity and energy to designated Point(s) of
Delivery.

13 Nature of Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service

13.1 Term
    The minimum term of Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service shall
be one hour and the maximum term shall be specified in the Service
Agreement.
13.2 Reservation Priority
    (i) Long-Term Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service shall be
available on a first-come, first-served basis, i.e., in the
chronological sequence in which each Transmission Customer has
requested service. However, Pre-Confirmed Applications for service will
receive priority over earlier-submitted requests that are not Pre-
Confirmed. Within classes of requests (Pre-Confirmed or not confirmed),
the highest price offered by the Eligible Customer is the first
tiebreaker, followed by the date and time of the request.
    (ii) Reservations for Short-Term Firm Point-To-Point Transmission
Service will be conditional based upon the length of the requested
transaction. However, Pre-Confirmed Applications for Short-Term Point-
To-Point Transmission Service will receive priority over earlier-
submitted requests that are not Pre-Confirmed. Within classes of
requests (Pre-Confirmed or not confirmed), duration is the first
tiebreaker, followed by the highest price offered by the Eligible
Customer, followed by the date and time of the request.
    (iii) If the Transmission System becomes oversubscribed, requests
for longer term service may preempt requests for shorter term service
up to the following deadlines: one hour before the commencement of
hourly service, one day before the commencement of daily service, one
week before the commencement of weekly service, and one month before
the commencement of monthly service. Before the conditional reservation
deadline, if available transfer capability is insufficient to satisfy
all Applications, an Eligible Customer with a reservation for shorter
term service has the right of first refusal to match any longer term
reservation before losing its reservation priority. A longer term
competing request for Short-Term Firm Point-To-Point Transmission
Service will be granted if the Eligible Customer with the right of
first refusal does not agree to match the competing request within 24
hours (or earlier if necessary to comply with the scheduling deadlines
provided in section 13.8) from being notified by the Transmission
Provider of a longer-term competing request for Short-Term Firm Point-
To-Point Transmission Service. After the conditional reservation
deadline, service will commence pursuant to the terms of Part II of the
Tariff.
    (iv) Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service will always have a
reservation priority over Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service
under the Tariff. All Long-Term Firm Point-To-Point Transmission
Service will have equal reservation priority with Native Load Customers
and Network Customers. Reservation priorities for existing firm service
customers are provided in Section 2.2.
13.3 Use of Firm Transmission Service by the Transmission Provider
    The Transmission Provider will be subject to the rates, terms and
conditions of Part II of the Tariff when making Third-Party Sales under
(i) agreements executed on or after August 7, 2006 or (ii) agreements
executed prior to the aforementioned date that the Commission requires
to be unbundled, by the date specified by the Commission. The
Transmission Provider will maintain separate accounting, pursuant to
Section 8, for any use of the Point-To-Point Transmission Service to
make Third-Party Sales.
13.4 Service Agreements
    The Transmission Provider shall offer a standard form Firm Point-
To-Point Transmission Service Agreement (Attachment A) to an Eligible
Customer when it submits a Completed Application for Long-Term Firm
Point-To-Point Transmission Service. The Transmission Provider shall
offer a standard form Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service
Agreement (Attachment A) to an Eligible Customer when it first submits
a Completed Application for Short-Term Firm Point-To-Point Transmission
Service pursuant to the Tariff. Executed Service Agreements that
contain the information required under the Tariff shall be filed with
the Commission in compliance with applicable Commission regulations.
13.5 Transmission Customer Obligations for Facility Additions or
Redispatch Costs
    In cases where the Transmission Provider determines that the
Transmission System is not capable of providing Firm Point-To-Point
Transmission Service without (1) degrading or impairing the reliability
of service to Native Load Customers, Network Customers and other
Transmission Customers taking Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service,
or (2) interfering with the Transmission Provider's ability to meet
prior firm contractual commitments to others, the Transmission Provider
will be obligated to expand or upgrade its Transmission System pursuant
to the terms of Section 15.4. The Transmission Customer must agree to
compensate the Transmission Provider for any necessary transmission
facility additions pursuant to the terms of Section 27. To the extent
the Transmission Provider can relieve any system constraint more
economically by redispatching the Transmission Provider's resources
than through constructing Network Upgrades, it shall do so, provided
that the Eligible Customer agrees to compensate the Transmission
Provider pursuant to the terms of Section 27. Any redispatch, Network
Upgrade or Direct Assignment Facilities costs to be charged to the
Transmission Customer on an incremental basis under the Tariff will be
specified in the Service Agreement prior to initiating service.
13.6 Curtailment of Firm Transmission Service
    In the event that a Curtailment on the Transmission Provider's
Transmission System, or a portion thereof, is required to maintain
reliable operation of such

system and the system directly and indirectly interconnected with
Transmission Provider's Transmission system. Curtailments will be made
on a non-discriminatory basis to the transaction(s) that effectively
relieve the constraint. Transmission Provider may elect to implement
such Curtailments pursuant to the Transmission Loading Relief
procedures specified in Attachment J. If multiple transactions require
Curtailment, to the extent practicable and consistent with Good Utility
Practice, the Transmission Provider will curtail service to Network
Customers and Transmission Customers taking Firm Point-To-Point
Transmission Service on a basis comparable to the curtailment of
service to the Transmission Provider's Native Load Customers. All
Curtailments will be made on a non-discriminatory basis, however, Non-
Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service shall be subordinate to Firm
Transmission Service. When the Transmission Provider determines that an
electrical emergency exists on its Transmission System and implements
emergency procedures to Curtail Firm Transmission Service, the
Transmission Customer shall make the required reductions upon request
of the Transmission Provider. However, the Transmission Provider
reserves the right to Curtail, in whole or in part, any Firm
Transmission Service provided under the Tariff when, in the
Transmission Provider's sole discretion, an emergency or other
unforeseen condition impairs or degrades the reliability of its
Transmission System. The Transmission Provider will notify all affected
Transmission Customers in a timely manner of any scheduled
Curtailments.
13.7 Classification of Firm Transmission Service
    (a) The Transmission Customer taking Firm Point-To-Point
Transmission Service may (1) change its Receipt and Delivery Points to
obtain service on a non-firm basis consistent with the terms of Section
22.1 or (2) request a modification of the Points of Receipt or Delivery
on a firm basis pursuant to the terms of Section 22.2.
    (b) The Transmission Customer may purchase transmission service to
make sales of capacity and energy from multiple generating units that
are on the Transmission Provider's Transmission System. For such a
purchase of transmission service, the resources will be designated as
multiple Points of Receipt, unless the multiple generating units are at
the same generating plant in which case the units would be treated as a
single Point of Receipt.
    (c) The Transmission Provider shall provide firm deliveries of
capacity and energy from the Point(s) of Receipt to the Point(s) of
Delivery. Each Point of Receipt at which firm transmission capacity is
reserved by the Transmission Customer shall be set forth in the Firm
Point-To-Point Service Agreement for Long-Term Firm Transmission
Service along with a corresponding capacity reservation associated with
each Point of Receipt. Points of Receipt and corresponding capacity
reservations shall be as mutually agreed upon by the Parties for Short-
Term Firm Transmission. Each Point of Delivery at which firm transfer
capability is reserved by the Transmission Customer shall be set forth
in the Firm Point-To-Point Service Agreement for Long-Term Firm
Transmission Service along with a corresponding capacity reservation
associated with each Point of Delivery. Points of Delivery and
corresponding capacity reservations shall be as mutually agreed upon by
the Parties for Short-Term Firm Transmission. The greater of either (1)
the sum of the capacity reservations at the Point(s) of Receipt, or (2)
the sum of the capacity reservations at the Point(s) of Delivery shall
be the Transmission Customer's Reserved Capacity. The Transmission
Customer will be billed for its Reserved Capacity under the terms of
Schedule 7. The Transmission Customer may not exceed its firm capacity
reserved at each Point of Receipt and each Point of Delivery except as
otherwise specified in Section 22. The Transmission Provider shall
specify the rate treatment and all related terms and conditions
applicable in the event that a Transmission Customer (including Third-
Party Sales by the Transmission Provider) exceeds its firm reserved
capacity at any Point of Receipt or Point of Delivery or uses
Transmission Service at a Point of Receipt or Point of Delivery that it
has not reserved.
13.8 Scheduling of Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service
    Schedules for the Transmission Customer's Firm Point-To-Point
Transmission Service must be submitted to the Transmission Provider no
later than 10 a.m. [or a reasonable time that is generally accepted in
the region and is consistently adhered to by the Transmission Provider]
of the day prior to commencement of such service. Schedules submitted
after 10 a.m. will be accommodated, if practicable. Hour-to-hour
schedules of any capacity and energy that is to be delivered must be
stated in increments of 1,000 kW per hour [or a reasonable increment
that is generally accepted in the region and is consistently adhered to
by the Transmission Provider]. Transmission Customers within the
Transmission Provider's service area with multiple requests for
Transmission Service at a Point of Receipt, each of which is under
1,000 kW per hour, may consolidate their service requests at a common
point of receipt into units of 1,000 kW per hour for scheduling and
billing purposes. Transmission customers may also batch requests and
schedules for hourly firm service to be provided on the same day.
Scheduling changes will be permitted up to twenty (20) minutes [or a
reasonable time that is generally accepted in the region and is
consistently adhered to by the Transmission Provider] before the start
of the next clock hour provided that the Delivering Party and Receiving
Party also agree to the schedule modification. The Transmission
Provider will furnish to the Delivering Party's system operator, hour-
to-hour schedules equal to those furnished by the Receiving Party
(unless reduced for losses) and shall deliver the capacity and energy
provided by such schedules. Should the Transmission Customer,
Delivering Party or Receiving Party revise or terminate any schedule,
such party shall immediately notify the Transmission Provider, and the
Transmission Provider shall have the right to adjust accordingly the
schedule for capacity and energy to be received and to be delivered.

14 Nature of Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service

14.1 Term
    Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service will be available for
periods ranging from one (1) hour to one (1) month. However, a
Purchaser of Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service will be
entitled to reserve a sequential term of service (such as a sequential
monthly term without having to wait for the initial term to expire
before requesting another monthly term) so that the total time period
for which the reservation applies is greater than one month, subject to
the requirements of Section 18.3.
14.2 Reservation Priority
    Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service shall be available
from transfer capability in excess of that needed for reliable service
to Native Load Customers, Network Customers and other Transmission
Customers taking Long-Term and Short-Term Firm Point-To-Point
Transmission Service. A higher priority will be assigned first to Pre-
Confirmed Applications and second

to reservations with a longer duration of service. In the event the
Transmission System is constrained, competing requests of the same Pre-
Confirmation status and equal duration will be prioritized based on the
highest price offered by the Eligible Customer for the Transmission
Service. Eligible Customers that have already reserved shorter term
service have the right of first refusal to match any longer term
reservation before being preempted. A longer term competing request for
Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service will be granted if the
Eligible Customer with the right of first refusal does not agree to
match the competing request: (a) Immediately for hourly Non-Firm Point-
To-Point Transmission Service after notification by the Transmission
Provider; and, (b) within 24 hours (or earlier if necessary to comply
with the scheduling deadlines provided in section 14.6) for Non-Firm
Point-To-Point Transmission Service other than hourly transactions
after notification by the Transmission Provider. Transmission service
for Network Customers from resources other than designated Network
Resources will have a higher priority than any Non-Firm Point-To-Point
Transmission Service. Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service over
secondary Point(s) of Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery will have the
lowest reservation priority under the Tariff.
14.3 Use of Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service by the
Transmission Provider
    The Transmission Provider will be subject to the rates, terms and
conditions of Part II of the Tariff when making Third-Party Sales under
(i) agreements executed on or after August 7, 2006 or (ii) agreements
executed prior to the aforementioned date that the Commission requires
to be unbundled, by the date specified by the Commission. The
Transmission Provider will maintain separate accounting, pursuant to
Section 8, for any use of Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service
to make Third-Party Sales.
14.4 Service Agreements
    The Transmission Provider shall offer a standard form Non-Firm
Point-To-Point Transmission Service Agreement (Attachment B) to an
Eligible Customer when it first submits a Completed Application for
Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service pursuant to the Tariff.
Executed Service Agreements that contain the information required under
the Tariff shall be filed with the Commission in compliance with
applicable Commission regulations.
14.5 Classification of Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service
    Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service shall be offered under
terms and conditions contained in Part II of the Tariff. The
Transmission Provider undertakes no obligation under the Tariff to plan
its Transmission System in order to have sufficient capacity for Non-
Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service. Parties requesting Non-Firm
Point-To-Point Transmission Service for the transmission of firm power
do so with the full realization that such service is subject to
availability and to Curtailment or Interruption under the terms of the
Tariff. The Transmission Provider shall specify the rate treatment and
all related terms and conditions applicable in the event that a
Transmission Customer (including Third-Party Sales by the Transmission
Provider) exceeds its non-firm capacity reservation. Non-Firm Point-To-
Point Transmission Service shall include transmission of energy on an
hourly basis and transmission of scheduled short-term capacity and
energy on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, but not to exceed one
month's reservation for any one Application, under Schedule 8.
14.6 Scheduling of Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service
    Schedules for Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service must be
submitted to the Transmission Provider no later than 2 p.m. [or a
reasonable time that is generally accepted in the region and is
consistently adhered to by the Transmission Provider] of the day prior
to commencement of such service. Schedules submitted after 2 p.m. will
be accommodated, if practicable. Hour-to-hour schedules of energy that
is to be delivered must be stated in increments of 1,000 kW per hour
[or a reasonable increment that is generally accepted in the region and
is consistently adhered to by the Transmission Provider]. Transmission
Customers within the Transmission Provider's service area with multiple
requests for Transmission Service at a Point of Receipt, each of which
is under 1,000 kW per hour, may consolidate their schedules at a common
Point of Receipt into units of 1,000 kW per hour. Scheduling changes
will be permitted up to twenty (20) minutes [or a reasonable time that
is generally accepted in the region and is consistently adhered to by
the Transmission Provider] before the start of the next clock hour
provided that the Delivering Party and Receiving Party also agree to
the schedule modification. The Transmission Provider will furnish to
the Delivering Party's system operator, hour-to-hour schedules equal to
those furnished by the Receiving Party (unless reduced for losses) and
shall deliver the capacity and energy provided by such schedules.
Should the Transmission Customer, Delivering Party or Receiving Party
revise or terminate any schedule, such party shall immediately notify
the Transmission Provider, and the Transmission Provider shall have the
right to adjust accordingly the schedule for capacity and energy to be
received and to be delivered.
14.7 Curtailment or Interruption of Service
    The Transmission Provider reserves the right to Curtail, in whole
or in part, Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service provided under
the Tariff for reliability reasons when, an emergency or other
unforeseen condition threatens to impair or degrade the reliability of
its Transmission System or the systems directly and indirectly
interconnected with Transmission Provider's Transmission System.
Transmission Provider may elect to implement such Curtailments pursuant
to the Transmission Loading Relief procedures specified in Attachment
J. The Transmission Provider reserves the right to Interrupt, in whole
or in part, Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service provided under
the Tariff for economic reasons in order to accommodate (1) a request
for Firm Transmission Service, (2) a request for Non-Firm Point-To-
Point Transmission Service of greater duration, (3) a request for Non-
Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service of equal duration with a
higher price, or (4) transmission service for Network Customers from
non-designated resources. The Transmission Provider also will
discontinue or reduce service to the Transmission Customer to the
extent that deliveries for transmission are discontinued or reduced at
the Point(s) of Receipt. Where required, Curtailments or Interruptions
will be made on a non-discriminatory basis to the transaction(s) that
effectively relieve the constraint, however, Non-Firm Point-To-Point
Transmission Service shall be subordinate to Firm Transmission Service.
If multiple transactions require Curtailment or Interruption, to the
extent practicable and consistent with Good Utility Practice,
Curtailments or Interruptions will be made to transactions of the
shortest term (e.g., hourly non-firm transactions will be Curtailed or

Interrupted before daily non-firm transactions and daily non-firm
transactions will be Curtailed or Interrupted before weekly non-firm
transactions). Transmission service for Network Customers from
resources other than designated Network Resources will have a higher
priority than any Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service under
the Tariff. Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service over secondary
Point(s) of Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery will have a lower priority
than any Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service under the Tariff.
The Transmission Provider will provide advance notice of Curtailment or
Interruption where such notice can be provided consistent with Good
Utility Practice.

15 Service Availability

15.1 General Conditions
    The Transmission Provider will provide Firm and Non-Firm Point-To-
Point Transmission Service over, on or across its Transmission System
to any Transmission Customer that has met the requirements of Section
16.
15.2 Determination of Available Transfer Capability
    A description of the Transmission Provider's specific methodology
for assessing available transfer capability posted on the Transmission
Provider's OASIS (Section 4) is contained in Attachment C of the
Tariff. In the event sufficient transfer capability may not exist to
accommodate a service request, the Transmission Provider will respond
by performing a System Impact Study.
15.3 Initiating Service in the Absence of an Executed Service Agreement
    If the Transmission Provider and the Transmission Customer
requesting Firm or Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service cannot
agree on all the terms and conditions of the Point-To-Point Service
Agreement, the Transmission Provider shall file with the Commission,
within thirty (30) days after the date the Transmission Customer
provides written notification directing the Transmission Provider to
file, an unexecuted Point-To-Point Service Agreement containing terms
and conditions deemed appropriate by the Transmission Provider for such
requested Transmission Service. The Transmission Provider shall
commence providing Transmission Service subject to the Transmission
Customer agreeing to (i) compensate the Transmission Provider at
whatever rate the Commission ultimately determines to be just and
reasonable, and (ii) comply with the terms and conditions of the Tariff
including posting appropriate security deposits in accordance with the
terms of Section 17.3.
15.4 Obligation To Provide Transmission Service That Requires Expansion
or Modification of the Transmission System
    If the Transmission Provider determines that it cannot accommodate
a Completed Application for Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service
because of insufficient capability on its Transmission System, the
Transmission Provider will use due diligence to redispatch its own
resources or expand or modify its Transmission System to provide the
requested Firm Transmission Service, consistent with its planning
obligations in Attachment K, provided the Transmission Customer agrees
to compensate the Transmission Provider for such costs pursuant to the
terms of Section 27. The Transmission Provider will conform to Good
Utility Practice and its planning obligations in Attachment K, in
determining the need for new facilities and in the design and
construction of such facilities. The obligation applies only to those
facilities that the Transmission Provider has the right to expand or
modify. To the extent a Transmission Provider cannot redispatch its own
resources to provide the requested Firm Transmission Service, it shall
identify generators in other control areas that could relieve the
constraint and allow the Transmission Customer to seek redispatch with
Transmission Providers in adjacent Control Areas.
15.5 Deferral of Service
    The Transmission Provider may defer providing service until it
completes construction of new transmission facilities or upgrades
needed to provide Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service whenever the
Transmission Provider determines that providing the requested service
would, without such new facilities or upgrades, impair or degrade
reliability to any existing firm services.
15.6 Other Transmission Service Schedules
    Eligible Customers receiving transmission service under other
agreements on file with the Commission may continue to receive
transmission service under those agreements until such time as those
agreements may be modified by the Commission.
15.7 Real Power Losses
    Real Power Losses are associated with all transmission service. The
Transmission Provider is not obligated to provide Real Power Losses.
The Transmission Customer is responsible for replacing losses
associated with all transmission service as calculated by the
Transmission Provider. The applicable Real Power Loss factors are as
follows: [To be completed by the Transmission Provider].

16 Transmission Customer Responsibilities

Provider identifying such systems and authorizing them to schedule the
capacity and energy to be transmitted by the Transmission Provider
pursuant to Part II of the Tariff on behalf of the Receiving Party at
the Point of Delivery or the Delivering Party at the Point of Receipt.
However, the Transmission Provider will undertake

reasonable efforts to assist the Transmission Customer in making such
arrangements, including without limitation, providing any information
or data required by such other electric system pursuant to Good Utility

regulations.
17.3 Deposit
    A Completed Application for Firm Point-To-Point Transmission
Service also shall include a deposit of either one month's charge for
Reserved Capacity or the full charge for Reserved Capacity for service
requests of less than one month. If the Application is rejected by the
Transmission Provider because it does not meet the conditions for
service as set forth herein, or in the case of requests for service
arising in connection with losing bidders in a Request For Proposals
(RFP), said deposit shall be returned with interest less any reasonable
costs incurred by the Transmission Provider in connection with the
review of the losing bidder's Application. The deposit also will be
returned with interest less any reasonable costs incurred by the
Transmission Provider if the Transmission Provider is unable to
complete new facilities needed to provide the service. If an
Application is withdrawn or the Eligible Customer decides not to enter
into a Service Agreement for Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service,
the deposit shall be refunded in full, with interest, less reasonable
costs incurred by the Transmission Provider to the extent such costs
have not already been recovered by the Transmission Provider from the
Eligible Customer. The Transmission Provider will provide to the
Eligible Customer a complete accounting of all costs deducted from the
refunded deposit, which the Eligible Customer may contest if there is a
dispute concerning the deducted costs. Deposits associated with
construction of new facilities are subject to the provisions of Section
19. If a Service Agreement for Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service
is executed, the deposit, with interest, will be returned to the
Transmission Customer upon expiration or termination of the Service
Agreement for Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service. Applicable
interest shall be computed in accordance with the Commission's
regulations at 18 CFR ? 35.19a(a)(2)(iii), and shall be calculated from
the day the deposit check is credited to the Transmission Provider's
account.
17.4 Notice of Deficient Application
    If an Application fails to meet the requirements of the Tariff, the
Transmission Provider shall notify the entity requesting service within
fifteen (15) days of receipt of the reasons for such failure. The
Transmission Provider will attempt to remedy minor deficiencies in the
Application through informal communications with the Eligible Customer.
If such efforts are unsuccessful, the Transmission Provider shall
return the Application, along with any deposit, with interest. Upon
receipt of a new or revised Application that fully complies with the
requirements of Part II of the Tariff, the Eligible Customer shall be
assigned a new priority consistent with the date of the new or revised
Application.
17.5 Response to a Completed Application
    Following receipt of a Completed Application for Firm Point-To-
Point Transmission Service, the Transmission Provider shall make a
determination of available transmission capability as required in
Section 15.2. The Transmission Provider shall notify the Eligible
Customer as soon as practicable, but not later than thirty (30) days
after the date of receipt of a Completed Application either (i) if it
will be able to provide service without performing a System Impact
Study or (ii) if such a study is needed to evaluate the impact of the
Application pursuant to Section 19.1. Responses by the Transmission

Provider must be made as soon as practicable to all completed
applications (including applications by its own merchant function) and
the timing of such responses must be made on a non-discriminatory
basis.
17.6 Execution of Service Agreement
    Whenever the Transmission Provider determines that a System Impact
Study is not required and that the service can be provided, it shall
notify the Eligible Customer as soon as practicable but no later than
thirty (30) days after receipt of the Completed Application. Where a
System Impact Study is required, the provisions of Section 19 will
govern the execution of a Service Agreement. Failure of an Eligible
Customer to execute and return the Service Agreement or request the
filing of an unexecuted service agreement pursuant to Section 15.3,
within fifteen (15) days after it is tendered by the Transmission
Provider will be deemed a withdrawal and termination of the Application
and any deposit submitted shall be refunded with interest. Nothing
herein limits the right of an Eligible Customer to file another
Application after such withdrawal and termination.
17.7 Extensions for Commencement of Service
    The Transmission Customer can obtain up to five (5) one-year
extensions for the commencement of service. The Transmission Customer
may postpone service by paying a non-refundable annual reservation fee
equal to one-month's charge for Firm Transmission Service for each year
or fraction thereof. If during any extension for the commencement of
service an Eligible Customer submits a Completed Application for Firm
Transmission Service, and such request can be satisfied only by
releasing all or part of the Transmission Customer's Reserved Capacity,
the original Reserved Capacity will be released unless the following
condition is satisfied. Within thirty (30) days, the original
Transmission Customer agrees to pay the Firm Point-To-Point
transmission rate for its Reserved Capacity concurrent with the new
Service Commencement Date. In the event the Transmission Customer
elects to release the Reserved Capacity, the reservation fees or
portions thereof previously paid will be forfeited.

18 Procedures for Arranging Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission
Service

18.1 Application
    Eligible Customers seeking Non-Firm Point-To-Point Transmission
Service must submit a Completed Application to the Transmission
Provider. Applications should be submitted by entering the information

ask the Transmission Customer to provide the following:
    (vi) The electrical location of the initial source of the power to
be transmitted pursuant to the Transmission Customer's request for
service; and
    (vii) The electrical location of the ultimate load.
    The Transmission Provider will treat this information in (vi) and
(vii) as confidential at the request of the Transmission Customer
except to the extent that disclosure of this information is required by
this Tariff, by regulatory or judicial order, for reliability purposes
pursuant to Good Utility Practice, or pursuant to RTG transmission
information sharing agreements. The Transmission Provider shall treat
this information consistent with the standards of conduct contained in
Part 37 of the Commission's regulations.
    (viii) A statement indicating whether the Transmission Customer
commits to a Pre-Confirmed Request, i.e., will execute a Service
Agreement upon receipt of notification that the Transmission Provider

19 Additional Study Procedures for Firm Point-To-Point Transmission
Service Requests

19.1 Notice of Need for System Impact Study
    After receiving a request for service, the Transmission Provider
shall determine on a non-discriminatory basis whether a System Impact
Study is needed. A description of the Transmission Provider's
methodology for completing a System Impact Study is provided in
Attachment D. If the Transmission Provider determines that a System
Impact Study is necessary to accommodate the requested service, it
shall so inform the Eligible Customer, as soon as practicable. In such
cases, the Transmission Provider shall within thirty (30) days of
receipt of a Completed Application, tender a System Impact Study
Agreement pursuant to

which the Eligible Customer shall agree to reimburse the Transmission
Provider for performing the required System Impact Study. For a service
request to remain a Completed Application, the Eligible Customer shall
execute the System Impact Study Agreement and return it to the
Transmission Provider within fifteen (15) days. If the Eligible
Customer elects not to execute the System Impact Study Agreement, its
application shall be deemed withdrawn and its deposit, pursuant to
Section 17.3, shall be returned with interest.
19.2 System Impact Study Agreement and Cost Reimbursement
    (i) The System Impact Study Agreement will clearly specify the
Transmission Provider's estimate of the actual cost, and time for
completion of the System Impact Study. The charge shall not exceed the
actual cost of the study. In performing the System Impact Study, the
Transmission Provider shall rely, to the extent reasonably practicable,
on existing transmission planning studies. The Eligible Customer will
not be assessed a charge for such existing studies; however, the
Eligible Customer will be responsible for charges associated with any
modifications to existing planning studies that are reasonably
necessary to evaluate the impact of the Eligible Customer's request for
service on the Transmission System.
    (ii) If in response to multiple Eligible Customers requesting
service in relation to the same competitive solicitation, a single
System Impact Study is sufficient for the Transmission Provider to
accommodate the requests for service, the costs of that study shall be
pro-rated among the Eligible Customers.
    (iii) For System Impact Studies that the Transmission Provider
conducts on its own behalf, the Transmission Provider shall record the
cost of the System Impact Studies pursuant to Section 20.
19.3 System Impact Study Procedures
    Upon receipt of an executed System Impact Study Agreement, the
Transmission Provider will use due diligence to complete the required
System Impact Study within a sixty (60) day period. The System Impact
Study shall identify any system constraints and redispatch options,
including an estimate of the number of hours of redispatch that may be
required to accommodate the request for Transmission Service and a
preliminary estimate of the cost of redispatch, additional Direct
Assignment Facilities or Network Upgrades required to provide the
requested service. In the event that the Transmission Provider is
unable to complete the required System Impact Study within such time
period, it shall so notify the Eligible Customer and provide an
estimated completion date along with an explanation of the reasons why
additional time is required to complete the required studies. A copy of
the completed System Impact Study and related work papers shall be made
available to the Eligible Customer. The Transmission Provider will use
the same due diligence in completing the System Impact Study for an
Eligible Customer as it uses when completing studies for itself. The
Transmission Provider shall notify the Eligible Customer immediately
upon completion of the System Impact Study if the Transmission System
will be adequate to accommodate all or part of a request for service or
that no costs are likely to be incurred for new transmission facilities
or upgrades. In order for a request to remain a Completed Application,
within fifteen (15) days of completion of the System Impact Study the
Eligible Customer must execute a Service Agreement or request the
filing of an unexecuted Service Agreement pursuant to Section 15.3, or
the Application shall be deemed terminated and withdrawn.
19.4 Facilities Study Procedures
    If a System Impact Study indicates that additions or upgrades to
the Transmission System are needed to supply the Eligible Customer's
service request, the Transmission Provider, within thirty (30) days of
the completion of the System Impact Study, shall tender to the Eligible
Customer a Facilities Study Agreement pursuant to which the Eligible
Customer shall agree to reimburse the Transmission Provider for
performing the required Facilities Study. For a service request to
remain a Completed Application, the Eligible Customer shall execute the
Facilities Study Agreement and return it to the Transmission Provider
within fifteen (15) days. If the Eligible Customer elects not to
execute the Facilities Study Agreement, its application shall be deemed
withdrawn and its deposit, pursuant to Section 17.3, shall be returned
with interest. Upon receipt of an executed Facilities Study Agreement,
the Transmission Provider will use due diligence to complete the
required Facilities Study within a sixty (60) day period. If the
Transmission Provider is unable to complete the Facilities Study in the
allotted time period, the Transmission Provider shall notify the
Transmission Customer and provide an estimate of the time needed to
reach a final determination along with an explanation of the reasons
that additional time is required to complete the study. When completed,
the Facilities Study will include a good faith estimate of (i) the cost
of Direct Assignment Facilities to be charged to the Transmission
Customer, (ii) the Transmission Customer's appropriate share of the
cost of any required Network Upgrades as determined pursuant to the
provisions of Part II of the Tariff, and (iii) the time required to
complete such construction and initiate the requested service. The
Transmission Customer shall provide the Transmission Provider with a
letter of credit or other reasonable form of security acceptable to the
Transmission Provider equivalent to the costs of new facilities or
upgrades consistent with commercial practices as established by the
Uniform Commercial Code. The Transmission Customer shall have thirty
(30) days to execute a Service Agreement or request the filing of an
unexecuted Service Agreement and provide the required letter of credit
or other form of security or the request will no longer be a Completed
Application and shall be deemed terminated and withdrawn.
19.5 Facilities Study Modifications
    Any change in design arising from inability to site or construct
facilities as proposed will require development of a revised good faith
estimate. New good faith estimates also will be required in the event
of new statutory or regulatory requirements that are effective before
the completion of construction or other circumstances beyond the
control of the Transmission Provider that significantly affect the
final cost of new facilities or upgrades to be charged to the
Transmission Customer pursuant to the provisions of Part II of the
Tariff.
19.6 Due Diligence in Completing New Facilities
    The Transmission Provider shall use due diligence to add necessary
facilities or upgrade its Transmission System within a reasonable time.
The Transmission Provider will not upgrade its existing or planned
Transmission System in order to provide the requested Firm Point-To-
Point Transmission Service if doing so would impair system reliability
or otherwise impair or degrade existing firm service.
19.7 Partial Interim Service
    If the Transmission Provider determines that it will not have
adequate transfer capability to satisfy the full amount of a Completed
Application for Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service, the
Transmission

Provider nonetheless shall be obligated to offer and provide the
portion of the requested Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service that
can be accommodated without addition of any facilities and through
redispatch. However, the Transmission Provider shall not be obligated
to provide the incremental amount of requested Firm Point-To-Point
Transmission Service that requires the addition of facilities or
upgrades to the Transmission System until such facilities or upgrades
