[Docket Nos. RM05-25-000; RM05-17-000]


Preventing Undue Discrimination and Preference in Transmission 
Service; Notice of Extension of Time

April 29, 2008.
    On April 17, 2008, North American Electric Reliability Corporation 
(NERC) submitted an additional request for an extension of time for 
public utilities to modify reliability standards related to the 
calculation of Available Transfer Capability (ATC) in compliance with 
Order No. 890 and Order No. 693, currently required by May 9, 2008.\1\ 
NERC states that five of the ATC-related reliability standards (MOD-
001, MOD-008, MOD-028, MOD-029 and MOD-030) will be completed by August 
29, 2008 and expects that work on the sixth reliability standard 
related to Capacity Benefit Margin (MOD-004) will be competed by 
November 21, 2008. NERC explains that this additional time is needed to 
adequately address the concerns raised by the industry regarding the 
need to fully vet and vote for these reliability standards.

    \1\ See Notice of Extension of Time, Docket Nos. RM05-17-000, et 
al. (Dec. 6, 2007).

    Upon consideration, notice is hereby given that public utilities 
are granted an extension of time to modify, working through NERC, the 
reliability standards related to the calculation of ATC as follows: 
MOD-001, MOD-008, MOD-028, MOD-029, and MOD-030 shall be submitted on 
or before August 29, 2008 and MOD-004 shall be submitted on or before 
November 21, 2008. Public utilities are also granted an extension of 
time to and including November 27, 2008, to develop, through the North 
American Energy Standards Board (NAESB), business practices that 
support the revisions to the NERC reliability standards MOD-001, MOD-
008, MOD-028, MOD-029, and MOD-030 and an extension of time to and 
including February 19, 2009, to develop, through NAESB, business 
practices that complement the revisions to the NERC reliability 
standard MOD-004.
