MINIMUM ADVANCED NOTICE TIME-RESPONSE TIME FOR LONG-TERM TRANSMISSION OUTAGES. In accordance with LCC procedures, TOs or their designees shall submit their proposed or updated Long-Term Transmission Outages for all Category A Facilities and Category B Facilities if a Generator/DARD output could be affected by the outage. The LCCs or their designees shall submit the Long-Term Transmission Outage request in the Preliminary status to ISO. ISO will not take any action to study or coordinate outages with Preliminary status. Preliminary status shall be considered informational only and will not set scheduling priority based on timestamp. Preliminary status shall not be accepted within 21 days of the start date of the outage and any outages that were previously submitted and remain in Preliminary status shall be automatically withdrawn at 21 days prior to the start date. It is expected that once the TO confirms these outage plans with the LCC, that the Long-Term Transmission Outage request will be put into the Submitted status. The LCCs shall provide Long-Term Transmission Outage requests in Submitted status that have been studied, approved and provide appropriate documentation as described in this procedure. This indicates to ISO that the Long-Term Transmission Outage request is ready for ISO study and establishes the timestamp used in setting scheduling priority. Submitted Long-Term Transmission Outage requests shall be accepted no sooner than 24 months and no later than 21 days prior to the start date of the transmission outage. ISO shall study Long-Term Transmission Outage requests in the Submitted status. Prior to the ISO study, efforts to review and coordinate outages to reduce reliability and economic impact are underway. Once the ISO study begins or until the request is terminated, details of the Long-Term Transmission Outage request will be locked from any changes initiated by the LCC. ISO may require cancellation and/or a new submittal if significant changes are requested by the LCC. If further information supporting the outage is required, ISO will place the outage in Negotiate. Upon study completion, ISO shall apply a status of: Interim Approved or Denied and respond to the appropriate LCC. Long-Term Transmission Outage requests Submitted to ISO at least 90 days prior to the start of the outage, if approved through reliability studies may also be subjected to economic studies and possible repositioning. Facilities identified as MTE may be subjected to economic studies and possible repositioning. The process of Submitting Long-Te...
