    The Marketing Plan describes how the Sierra Nevada Region will

allocations, and those allocations were made to qualified entities. The 
Marketing Plan provided for making a Custom Product available to 
interested customers. The Custom Product is a combination of additional 
services such as supplemental power, scheduling agent and coordinator 
services, and ancillary services.

Custom Product. The Marketing Plan required a customer to commit to
