To-Point Service Rate; provided that if a rate which is
derived from the annual incremental cost, not otherwise
borne by the Transmission Customer or a Generator Owner, of
any new facilities or upgrades that would not be required
but for the need to provide the requested service is greater
than the Pool PTF Rate, the IPTP Charge shall be the higher
of such amounts. The Transmission Customer shall also be
obligated to pay any ancillary service charges and any other
charges required to be paid pursuant to Market Rule 1.
The charge for firm Internal Point-To-Point Service shall be

25D Scheduling and Curtailment Rules for External Transactions
For purposes of scheduling and curtailment of External
Transactions over interconnections between the
NEPOOL Control Area and neighboring Control Areas, the
following rules shall apply:
(a) External Transaction sales and purchases that
(i) are supported by those service agreements
referenced in Attachment G-3 of this Tariff, (ii)
have not opted for Auction Revenue Rights
consideration under applicable NEPOOL System
Rules, and (iii) have been submitted into the Real-
Time Energy Market prior to noon the day before
the Operating Day as a Self-scheduled External
Transaction ("real-time without price") at an
External Node referenced in Attachment G-3 shall
be assigned the highest transmission priority when
compared to other External Transaction purchases
or sales at that node having the same offer price
or bid price. In the event that the transfer
limit for a given external interface does not
allow all Excepted Transactions submitted over
that interface to flow, they shall be scheduled or
curtailed on a pro-rata basis. For External
Transactions referenced in Attachment G-3 that
also require an advance physical reservation
associated with a MTF or Non-PTF external
interface, the MTF or Non-PTF transmission
priority shall take precedence over the above
language for the purposes of scheduling and
curtailment under Sections 25F(c) and 25F(d),
respectively;
(b) For external interfaces where advance
physical reservations are not required (i.e.,
external interfaces solely made up of PTF, such as
the AC facilities that make up the New York/ New
England interface), scheduling and curtailment of
External Transactions shall be based on economic
merit order in accordance with NEPOOL System
Rules. In the case of a tie within economic
merit, transmission priority and then Real-Time
Energy Market timestamp shall be used as
tiebreakers. With the exception of Section
25F(a), all transactions crossing external
interfaces not requiring advance physical
reservations shall have equal transmission
priority;
(c) For external interfaces where advance
physical reservations are required (i.e., external
interfaces made up of MTF or Non-PTF), scheduling
of External Transactions which satisfy the
reservation requirements for service shall be
based on economic merit order in accordance with
NEPOOL System Rules. In the case of a tie within
economic merit, transmission priority shall be
used as a tiebreaker. Relative to a given
interface, transmission priority is based on the
priority rights of the associated MTF or Non-PTF
transmission reservation. In the case of a tie
within a category of transmission service: (i)
transactions within a given sub-category of non-
firm transmission priority shall be scheduled on
the basis of their Real-Time Energy Market
timestamp order, and (ii) transactions with firm
transmission priority shall be scheduled on a pro-
rata basis;
(d) For external interfaces where advance
physical reservations are required (i.e., external
interfaces made up of MTF or Non-PTF),
curtailments resulting from a reduction in total
transfer capability shall be based on transmission
priority of the associated MTF or Non-PTF
transmission reservation to the extent possible.
In the case of a tie within a category of
transmission service, (a) transactions within a
given sub-category of non-firm transmission
service shall be curtailed on the basis of Real-
Time Energy Market timestamp order, and (b)
transactions with firm transmission service shall
be curtailed on a pro-rata basis;
(e) In instances of an External Transaction
scheduled against multiple reservations on a MTF
or Non-PTF external interface, the lowest
transmission priority of the associated
reservations shall apply;
(f) The transmission priority for wheel-through
transactions will be based on the transmission
service utilized at the restricted external
interface as indicated by the transmission
reservation;
(g) Transmission Customers wishing to schedule
External Transactions shall comply with applicable
NEPOOL System Rules;
(h) Scheduling and curtailment of External
Transactions shall be conducted in accordance with
the specifications of the NEPOOL System Rules and
all applicable tariffs;
(i) External Transactions scheduled in the Real-
Time Energy Market shall continue to be
implemented during periods of Congestion, except
as may be necessary to respond to emergencies;
(j) The System Operator will redispatch all Resources
subject to its control, pursuant to Market Rule 1,
in order to meet load and to accommodate External
Transactions. Participants and Transmission
Customers will be charged for the Congestion Cost
and any other costs associated with such
redispatch in accordance with Market Rule 1.
Pursuant to such redispatch, in the event the
System Operator exercises its right to effect a
Curtailment, in whole or part, of Through or Out
Service or Internal Point-To-Point Transmission
Service or MTF Service, no credit or other
adjustment shall be provided as a result of the
Curtailment with respect to the charge payable by
the customer;
(k) The System Operator 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 will deliver the
capacity and energy provided by such schedules;
(l) Should the Transmission Customer, Delivering
Party or Receiving Party revise or terminate any
schedule, such party shall immediately notify the
System Operator, and the System Operator will have
the right to adjust accordingly the schedule for
capacity and energy to be received and to be
delivered;
(m) The System Operator shall apply the above-listed
rules consistent with maintaining the reliability
of the NEPOOL Transmission System; and
(n) The System Operator shall develop and post
procedures on its Internet website reflecting the
above-listed External Transaction rules.
Part V - Point-To-Point Transmission Service
7.1 The preamble to Part V is amended to read as follows:
Point-To-Point Transmission Service whether by Participants
or Non-Participants, for all new transfers to be effected as
Internal Point-To-Point Service, MTF Service or as Through
or Out Service, shall be carried out pursuant to the
applicable terms and conditions of Part III, Part V and
Schedule 18 of the Tariff. Point-To-Point Transmission
Service is the service required for the receipt of capacity
and/or energy at designated Point(s) of Receipt and the
transmission of such capacity and/or energy to designated
Point(s) of Delivery. MTF Service shall be reserved on the
OASIS separately pursuant to Schedule 18. Priority of MTF
Service shall be in accordance with the provisions of
Schedule 18 of the Tariff and as provided below.
7.2 Section 26 (Scope of Application of Part V) is amended by
replacing the reference to Section "31.3" with a reference
to Section "32.4", and by deleting the last sentence.

within the NEPOOL Control Area. When an External
Transaction sale or Through Service transaction is
submitted by the Transmission Customer and is
scheduled in the Real-Time Energy Market, the
submission shall be deemed a request for Through
or Out Service and the System Operator shall
generate a reservation for Through or Out Service
equal to the transaction's schedule set at the
beginning of the scheduling period; this
reservation amount shall be the basis for the
Reserved Capacity. The Transmission Customer
shall pay for its Reserved Capacity under the
terms of Section 20.
26A.1 Term: The term of Through or Out Service
shall be one hour increments in conjunction with
External Transactions scheduled in the Real-Time

and customers for Excepted Transactions. In the
event the PTF and MTF are constrained,
transmission priorities shall be established
separately for the PTF and MTF, respectively.
26A.3 Use of Through or Out Service by the
Participants That Own PTF: A Transmission
Provider that owns PTF will be subject to the
rates, terms and conditions of this Tariff when

executed after November 1, 1996 or (ii) agreements
executed on or before November 1, 1996 to the
extent that the Commission requires them to be
unbundled, by the date specified by the
Commission. A Transmission Provider that owns PTF
will maintain separate accounting, pursuant to
Section 8, for any use of Through or Out Service
to make Third-Party Sales to the extent not paid
for under this Tariff.
26A.4 Service Agreements: A standard form Point-To-
Point Transmission Service Agreement (Attachment
A) will be offered to an Eligible Customer when it
submits a Completed Application for Point-To-Point
Transmission Service to be transmitted pursuant to
this Tariff. Executed Service Agreements that
contain the information required under this Tariff
will be filed with the Commission in compliance
with applicable Commission regulations.
26A.5 Transmission Customer Obligations for
Facility Additions or Redispatch Costs: The
System Operator will redispatch all Resources
subject to its control, pursuant to Market Rule 1,
in order to meet load and to accommodate External
Transactions. Participants and Transmission
Customers will be charged for the Congestion Costs
and any other costs associated with such
redispatch in accordance with Market Rule 1.
26A.6 Classification of Through or Out Service:
Deliveries will be provided from the Point(s) of
Receipt to the Point(s) of Delivery. Each Point
of Receipt at which transmission capacity is
reserved for Through or Out Service by the
Transmission Customer shall be set forth in the
schedule submitted in accordance with Market Rule
1 and NEPOOL System Rules. When an External
Transaction sale or a Through Service transaction
is submitted by the Transmission Customer and is
scheduled in the Real-Time Energy Market, the
submission shall be considered deemed a request
for Through or Out Service and the System Operator
will generate a reservation for the Through or Out
Service equal to the transaction's schedule set at
the beginning of the scheduling period; this
reservation amount shall be the basis for the
Reserved Capacity. The Transmission Customer will
be billed and shall pay for its Reserved Capacity
under the terms of Section 20.

Transmission Customer Obligations for Facility Additions or
Redispatch Costs: In cases where it is determined that the
PTF is not capable of providing new Firm Internal Point-To-
Point Service without (1) degrading or impairing the
reliability of service to Native Load Customers, Network
Customers, customers taking service for Excepted
Transactions and other Transmission Customers taking Firm
Internal Point-To-Point Service, or (2) interfering with a
Participant's ability to meet prior firm contractual
commitments to others, the Transmission Providers will be
obligated to arrange to expand or upgrade PTF for Long-Term
Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service pursuant to the terms
of Section 33. The Transmission Customer must agree to
compensate the Transmission Providers or any other entity
designated to effect construction through the System
Operator for any necessary transmission facility additions

accordance with Market Rule 1. Pursuant to such redispatch,
in the event the System Operator exercises its right to
effect a Curtailment, in whole or part, of Firm Internal
Point-To-Point Transmission Service or Firm MTF Service, no
credit or other adjustment shall be provided as a result of
the Curtailment with respect to the charge payable by the
Customer.

To-Point Service may (1) change its Points of
Receipt and Delivery to obtain service on a non-
firm basis consistent with the terms of Section
36.1 or (2) request a modification of the Points
of Receipt or Delivery on a firm basis pursuant to
the terms of Section 36.2; provided that if any
Transmission Provider or its designee constructed
new facilities or upgraded facilities to
accommodate the original firm service, such
Transmission Provider or its designee shall
continue to be compensated for its facility costs
by the Transmission Customer.
(b) [OMITTED]
(c) Parties requesting Firm Internal Point-To-Point
Service and Firm MTF Service for the transmission
of firm power do so with the full realization that
such service is subject to Curtailment under the
terms of this Tariff and that the System Operator
will redispatch all Resources subject to its
control, pursuant to Market Rule 1, in order to
meet load and to accommodate External
Transactions. Participants and Transmission
Customers will be charged for the Congestion Costs
and any other costs associated with such
redispatch in accordance with Market Rule 1. Each
Point of Receipt at which firm transmission
capacity is reserved for Long-Term Firm Internal
Point-To-Point Service or Long-Term Firm MTF
Service by the Transmission Customer shall be set
forth in the Service Agreement for such 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 System
Operator and the Transmission Customer for Short-
Term Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service or Short-
Term Firm MTF Service. Each Point of Delivery at
which firm transmission capacity is reserved for
Long-Term Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service or
Short-Term Firm MTF Service by the Transmission
Customer shall be set forth in the Service
Agreement for such 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 System Operator and
the Transmission Customer for Short-Term Firm
Internal Point-To-Point Service or Short-Term Firm
MTF Service. 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 Section 21 or
Section 22A, whichever is applicable. The
Customer's Use may not exceed its firm capacity
reserved at each Point of Receipt and each Point
of Delivery except as otherwise specified in
Section 36. In the event that the Use by a
Transmission Customer (including Third-Party Sales
by the Participants) exceeds that Transmission
Customer's Reserved Capacity at any Point of
Receipt or Point of Delivery in any hour, it shall
pay 200% of the charge which is otherwise
applicable for each Kilowatt of the excess. In
addition, the System Operator will record all
instances in which a Transmission Customer's Use
exceeds that Transmission Customer's firm Reserved
Capacity, and if in any calendar year more than 10
such instances occur with respect to any single
Transmission Customer, then the System Operator
may require such Transmission Customer to apply
for additional Firm Internal Point-To-Point
Service under the Tariff in an amount equal to the
greatest amount of the excess of such Transmission
Customer's Use over its firm Reserved Capacity for
the remainder of that calendar year. Charges for
such additional Firm Internal Point-To-Point
Service will relate back to the first day of the
month following the month in which the System
Operator notifies such Transmission Customer that
it is subject to the provisions of this paragraph.
7.12 Section 27.8 is amended to read as follows:

Service shall be dispatched based on economic merit order in
accordance with NEPOOL System Rules and shall have no
physical scheduling or dispatch. External Transactions
using Firm MTF Service shall be dispatched pursuant to
Section 25F of this Tariff. Participants and Transmission
Customers will be charged for the Congestion Costs and any
other costs associated with such dispatch in accordance with
Market Rule 1.
7.13 The heading of Section 28 is amended to read as follows:
Nature of Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service and Non-
Firm MTF Service
7.14 Section 28.2 "Reservation Priority" is amended to read as
follows:
Reservation and Transmission Priority: Non-Firm Internal
Point-To-Point Service and Non-Firm MTF Service shall be
available from transmission capability in excess of that
needed for reliable service to Native Load Customers,
Network Customers, customers for Excepted Transactions and
other Transmission Customers taking Through or Out Service,
Long-Term and Short-Term Firm Internal Point-To-Point
Service and Long-Term and Short-Term Firm MTF Service. A
higher reservation priority will be assigned to reservations
with a longer duration of service. In the event the PTF and
MTF are constrained, reservation priorities shall be
established separately for the PTF and MTF, respectively.
Competing requests of equal duration over PTF will be
prioritized based on the highest price offered by the
Eligible Customer for the Transmission Service, or in the
event the price for all Eligible Customers is the same, will
be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis i.e., in
the chronological sequence in which each Customer has
reserved service. Eligible Customers that have already
reserved shorter term service over PTF have the right of
first refusal to match any longer term reservation before
being preempted. A longer term competing request over PTF
for Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point 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 Internal Point-To-Point
Service after notification by the System Operator; and (b)
within 24 hours (or earlier if necessary to comply with the
scheduling deadlines provided in Section 28.6) for Non-Firm
Internal Point-To-Point Service other than hourly
transactions using Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service
after notification by the System Operator.
Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service over PTF to
secondary Point(s) of Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery will
have the lowest transmission priority under this Tariff. As
between or among transactions that require the use of both
the PTF and MTF, the transmission priority for such
competing Internal Point-To-Point Service requests over the
PTF shall be determined by the transmission priority held by
the Transmission Customers over MTF.
7.15 Section 28.3 is amended by inserting the word "Internal"
immediately after the phrase "Non-Firm".
7.16 Section 28.4 (Service Agreements) is amended by inserting
the word "Internal" immediately before the phrase "Point-To-
Point" and by deleting the word "Transmission" at each
occurrence.
7.17 Section 28.5 is amended to read as follows:
Classification of Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service
and Non-Firm MTF Service: Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point
Service and Non-Firm MTF Service shall be offered under
applicable terms and conditions contained in Part III of
this Tariff. The NEPOOL Participants undertake no
obligation under this Tariff to plan the PTF in order to
have sufficient capacity for Non-Firm Internal Point-To-
Point Service. Parties requesting Non-Firm Internal Point-
To-Point Service and Non-Firm MTF Service for the
transmission of firm power do so with the full realization
that such service is subject to availability and to
Curtailment under the terms of this Tariff and that the
System Operator will redispatch all Resources subject to its
control, pursuant to Market Rule 1, in order to meet load
and to accommodate External Transactions. Participants and
Transmission Customers will be charged for the Congestion
Costs and any other costs associated with such redispatch in
accordance with Market Rule 1. In the event that the Use by
a Transmission Customer (including Third-Party Sales by a
Participant) exceeds that Transmission Customer's non-
Reserved Capacity at any Point of Receipt or Point of
Delivery, it shall pay 200% of the charge which is otherwise
applicable for each Kilowatt of the excess. In addition,
the System Operator will record all instances in which a
Transmission Customer's Use exceeds that Transmission
Customer's non-firm Reserved Capacity, and if in any
calendar year more than 10 such instances occur with respect
to any single Transmission Customer, then the System
Operator may require such Transmission Customer to apply for
additional Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service under
the Tariff in an amount equal to the greatest amount of the
excess of such Transmission Customer's Use over its non-firm
Reserved Capacity for the remainder of that calendar year.
Charges for such additional Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point
Service will relate back to the first day of the month
following the month in which the System Operator notifies
such Transmission Customer that it is subject to the
provisions of this paragraph.
(a) Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Service and Non-Firm
MTF 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.
(b) Each Point of Receipt at which non-firm transmission
capacity is reserved by the Transmission Customer shall
be set forth in the Application along with a
corresponding capacity reservation associated with each
Point of Receipt.

minimum transmission capacity requirement.
The System Operator will treat this information
consistent with the standards of conduct contained in
18 C.F.R. Part 37 of the Commission's regulations.
32A.3 Deposit: A Completed Application for Through or Out
Service by a Non-Participant shall also include a
deposit of one month's charge based on the estimate of
the capacity and energy expected to be delivered to the
Receiving Party. If the Application is rejected by the
System Operator 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"), the deposit
will be returned with Interest, less any reasonable
administrative costs incurred by the System Operator or
any affected Participants in connection with the review
of the Application. The deposit also will be returned
with Interest less any reasonable administrative costs
incurred by the System Operator or any affected
Participants if the new facilities or upgrades needed
to provide the service cannot be completed. If an
Application is withdrawn or the Eligible Customer
decides not to enter into a Service Agreement for the
Service, the deposit will be refunded in full, with
Interest, less reasonable administrative costs incurred
by the System Operator or any affected Participants to
the extent such costs have not already been recovered
from the Eligible Customer. The System Operator 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 or upgrades are
subject to the provisions of Section 33. If a Service
Agreement for Through or Out Service is executed, the
deposit, with interest, will be returned to the
Transmission Customer upon expiration or termination of
the Service Agreement. Applicable Interest will be
calculated from the day the deposit is credited to the
System Operator's account.
32A.4 Notice of Deficient Application: If an
Application fails to meet the requirements of this
Tariff, the System Operator will notify the entity
requesting service within fifteen days of the System
Operator's receipt of the Application of the reasons
for such failure. The System Operator will attempt to
remedy minor deficiencies in the Application through
informal communications with the Eligible Customer. If
such efforts are unsuccessful, the System Operator will
return the Application, along with any deposit (less
the reasonable administrative costs incurred by the
System Operator or any affected Participants in
connection with the Application), with Interest. Upon
receipt of a new or revised Application that fully
complies with the requirements of this Tariff, the
Eligible Customer will be assigned a new reservation
priority based upon the date of receipt by the System
Operator of the new or revised Application.
32A.5 Execution of Service Agreement: The System
Operator will notify the Eligible Customer as soon as
practicable but no later than thirty days after receipt
of the Completed Application, and will tender a Service
Agreement to the Eligible Customer. The service
agreement will allow the Eligible Non-Participant
Customer to submit External Transactions in accordance
with Market Rule 1 and the applicable NEPOOL System
Rules. Failure of an Eligible Customer to execute and
return the Service Agreement or request the filing of
an unexecuted Service Agreement pursuant to Section
29.3, within fifteen days after it is tendered by the
System Operator shall be deemed a withdrawal and
termination of the Application and any deposit (less
the reasonable administrative costs incurred by the
System Operator and any affected Participants in
connection with the Application) submitted will be
refunded with Interest. Nothing herein limits the
right of an Eligible Customer to file another
Application after such withdrawal and termination.
7.39 Section 33.1 is amended to read as follows:

Operator conduct a System Impact Study for an Elective
Transmission Upgrade pursuant to Section 50.2 (a "Study
Request"). After receiving a request for Firm Internal
Point-To-Point Service or a request to study an Elective
Transmission Upgrade, the System Operator will review the
effect of the proposed service or upgrade on the reliability
requirements of the PTF and the indirectly affected MTF
facilities pursuant to meet existing and pending obligations
of the Participants and Non-Participants, and the
obligations of the particular Participants whose PTF or MTF
facilities will be impacted by the proposed service and

Customer (except as provided below) may reserve Firm or Non-
Firm MTF Service. Such service shall be provided by the
MTF Provider(s) and shall be reserved pursuant to the
applicable terms and conditions of this Schedule 18. MTF
Service shall be reserved through the System Operator
separately pursuant to Schedule 18. Service on the MTF
requires advance reservations. MTF Service is available to
any Eligible Customer unless an MTF Provider has informed
the System Operator that MTF Service shall not be made
available to such Eligible Customer due to that Customer's
failure to make necessary payments for previously assessed
MTF Service Charges or failure to meet the creditworthiness
or operational requirements posted by the MTF Provider on
the NEPOOL OASIS.
10.17 Section 3.3 of Schedule 18 is amended to read as
follows:
Use of MTF Service By a Transmission Customer: If a
Transmission Customer elects to take MTF Service it may
reserve transmission capability for such service to cover
both the delivery to it over the MTF of Energy and capacity
(to the extent permitted under applicable Market Rules)
covered by the Ownership Share designated by it in Completed
Applications and the delivery to or from it over the MTF in
Interchange Transactions of Energy and/or capacity (to the
extent permitted under applicable Market Rules). In order
to fulfill its obligations to serve load or to consummate a
transaction, a Transmission Customer which takes MTF Service
must also take service under the Tariff for use of the PTF
and under any applicable Local Network Service tariff for
use of the Non-PTF. Any load-serving entity may use MTF
Service to effect sales in bilateral arrangements, whether
or not it elects to take Internal Point-To-Point Service on
the PTF to serve its load.
10.18 Section 5 of Schedule 18 is amended to read as follows:
MTF Service Reservation, interruption and Curtailment
priorities: The MTF Provider shall furnish to the System
Operator for posting on NEPOOL OASIS, and the System
Operator shall post on the NEPOOL OASIS, rules setting
reservation, interruption and Curtailment priorities for
Firm and Non-Firm MTF Service. Such rules shall be non-
discriminatory and consistent with the Commission's approval
of the rights to charge negotiated rates (i.e., rates
established pursuant to market mechanisms as recognized for
merchant transmission projects and not included in NEPOOL
Tariff rates). If an MTF Provider fails to furnish to the
System Operator such rules, reservation, interruption and
Curtailment priorities for Firm and Non-Firm MTF Service
shall be the same as those established under the Tariff for
Firm and Non-Firm Internal Point-To-Point Transmission
Service over the PTF. The reservation priority for Long-
Term Firm Transmission Service and Short-Term Firm
Transmission Service based upon an award of transmission
capability of MTF pursuant to a Commission-approved rights
allocation process shall be the date of the issuance of such
award.
When the System Operator determines that an electrical
emergency exists on the NEPOOL Transmission System and
implements emergency procedures to effect a Curtailment of
MTF Service, the Transmission Customer shall make the
required reductions upon the System Operator's request. The
System Operator reserves the right to effect a Curtailment,
in whole or in part, of any MTF Service provided under this
Tariff when, in the System Operator's sole discretion, an
emergency or other unforeseen condition impairs or degrades
the reliability of the NEPOOL Transmission System. The
System Operator will notify all affected Transmission
Customers in a timely manner of any scheduled Curtailments.
In the event the System Operator exercises its right to
effect a Curtailment, in whole or part, of Firm MTF Service,
no credit or other adjustment shall be provided as a result
of the Curtailment with respect to the charge payable by the
Customer, unless provided for by the MTF Provider under
arrangements between the MTF Provider and the Transmission
Customer. To the extent not otherwise provided for in this
Section 5, Curtailments Interruptions of MTF Service shall
be in accordance with Sections 27.6 and 28.7of the Tariff.
10.19 Section 6 of Schedule 18 is amended to read as follows:
Real Power Losses: Real power losses across MTF shall be
allocated solely to Transmission Customers that use MTF.
Such allocation for transactions across MTF shall be
pursuant to Market Rule 1.
10.20 Section 8 of Schedule 18 is amended to read as follows:
No Effect on Rates; No Allocation of Revenues: MTF and MTF
Service shall not affect rates for service on the PTF under
the Tariff and MTF Providers shall not be allocated any
revenues collected under the Tariff for such service.
10.21 Section 9 of Schedule 18 is amended to read as follows:
Ancillary Services: Congestion Costs and Ancillary Services
costs associated with MTF Service Shall be assessed pursuant
to Market Rule 1.
10.22 A new Schedule 19 is added to reads as follows:
Special Constraint Resource Service
In order to maintain area reliability, Transmission
Owners or distribution companies may request the System
Operator to change the commitment of a generating Resource
or the incremental loading on a previously committed
generating Resource to provide relief for constraints not
reflected in the System Operator's systems for operating the
NEPOOL Transmission System or the System Operator's
operating procedures. Requests will normally be made to the
System Operator via the appropriate Satellite unless
emergency conditions justify immediate communications with
the Resources.
Such out of merit operation of units for any
reliability purposes to provide relief for constraints
(thermal, voltage or stability) not reflected in the System
Operator's systems or procedures will result in the
Resource(s) being designated as a Special Constraint
Resource and administered in accordance with the provisions
of this Schedule. However, in the event a SCR is requested
on by a Participant and the System Operator also requires
that unit to be on-line in accordance with the System
Operator's systems and procedures, the System Operator will
apply the appropriate flag to reflect the System Operator's
need for the unit and will only flag the unit as SCR when
the System Operator does not require the Resource (or when
changed dispatch of the unit is requested by the
Participant). When a unit would not be operating above its
Economic Minimum Limit (as defined in Market Rule 1) but for
the request of the Participant, it shall be flagged as SCR.
In the event that the System Operator requires that a unit,
previously designated and flagged as SCR, becomes a unit
required by the System Operator to be on-line in accordance
with the System Operator's systems and procedures (including
economic dispatch or for purposes of RMR, first contingency
or capacity), the SCR designation and flag will be removed.
I. DETERMINING THE AMOUNT TO BE PAID FOR SERVICE UNDER
THIS SCHEDULE
Service under this Schedule is to be provided through
the System Operator. The Transmission Owner or distribution
company making a request or on whose behalf a Satellite
makes a request to change the commitment of a generating
Resource or the incremental loading on a previously
committed generating Resource must purchase such service
through the System Operator. The Transmission Owner or
distribution company shall be charged an amount equal to the
Operating Reserve Credits as calculated pursuant to Market
Rule 1 related to the Real-Time operation of the Special
Constraint Resource.
II. DETERMINING A GENERATOR'S COMPENSATION FOR PROVIDING
SERVICE UNDER THIS SCHEDULE
The Special Constraint Resource is compensated pursuant
to Market Rule 1 in the same manner as other generating
Resources dispatched to provide relief for constraints
reflected in the System Operator's systems for operating the
NEPOOL Transmission System or the System Operator's
operating procedures. Operating Reserve Credits (as defined
in Market Rule 1) associated with the scheduling of Special
Constraint Resources compensate these Resources for helping
to maintain NEPOOL Control Area reliability requirements and
are collected as stated in the NEPOOL Manual for Market Rule
1 Accounting, M-28.
10.23 The reference in the last paragraph of Attachment F to
"Regional Transmission Operations Committee" is amended to
read "Participants Committee".
10.24 The introductory paragraphs to both Attachment G and
Attachment G-1 are amended by replacing the phrase "Sections
25, 25A and 25B" with the phrase "Section 25".
10.25 Attachment G-2 (List of Certain Arrangements over
External Ties) is amended to read as set forth in Exhibit 1.
10.26 A new Attachment G-3 (Complete List of Excepted
Transaction (Transmission) Agreements over External Ties) is
added to read as set forth in Exhibit 2.
10.27 The first paragraph in the Form of Facilities Study
Agreement set forth in Attachment J is amended by replacing
the phrase "NEPOOL Transmission System" with the term "PTF".
10.28 Section 8 in the Form of Facilities Study Agreement set
forth in Attachment J is amended to read as follows:
Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to give the
Transmission Customer immediate rights to interconnect to or
wheel over the Pool Transmission Facilities. Such rights
shall be provided for under separate agreement.
10.29 The fourth sentence of Section II.E of Atachment L
(Financial Assurance Policy for NEPOOL Members) is amended
to replace the term "Entitlements" with the term "Ownership
Shares".
10.30 Section 2.3(f) of Attachment N (New England Power Pool
Billing Policy) is amended so that it reads as follows:
Sanctions Charges. Any Charges assessed on the Participant
pursuant to Appendix B of Market Rule 1.
10.31 The third sentence of the second paragraph of Section
3.3(j) of Attachment N is amended to read as follows:
If a suspended Participant has the obligation under
applicable Market Rules to bid any of its Ownership Shares
to provide Market Products under Market Rule 1, that
obligation shall continue notwithstanding the Participant's
suspension and any transfers of Market Products occurring
under the Market Rule 1 as a result of any such bid shall be
effective.
10.32 Attachment O (Financial Assurance Policy for Non-
Participant FTR Customers) is amended by replacing the
phrase "under the Tariff and the applicable Market Rules"
with the phrase "pursuant to Market Rule 1".
10.33 The reference Section K of the Attachment F
Implementation Rule to "Management Committee" is amended to
read "Participants Committee".
10.34 The reference to "Transmission network" in Appendix A
to the Attachment F Implementation Rule "Rules for
Determining Investment to be Included in PTF" is amended by
replacing the word "Transmission" with the word
"transmission" after "New England" in Section A.

ATTACHMENT G-3: Complete list of Excepted Transaction (Transmission)
Agreements over External Ties
Attachment G-3 is a comprehensive list of Excepted Transaction
Agreements that relate to the use of ties with neighboring Control
Areas ("External Ties"). The party responsible for paying the
Congestion Cost associated with energy purchased under the Excepted
Transactions listed in Attachment G-3 will retain their existing
contract rights for physical scheduling of a transaction at the
External Node associated with the Excepted Transaction until such
party elects to be allocated Auction Revenue Rights pursuant to Market
Rule 1. Until the party responsible for paying the Congestion Cost
associated with energy purchased under an Excepted Transaction listed
in Attachment G-3 elects to be allocated Auction Revenue Rights, the
Excepted Transaction shall have physical scheduling and curtailment
rights in accordance with Section 25F(a) of this Tariff. Once the
party responsible for paying the Congestion Cost associated
with energy purchased under the Excepted Transaction elects to be
allocated Auction Revenue Rights, the party will not be able to
revert back to using their contract rights for physical scheduling and
curtailment.
