Common use of LCC AUTHORITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Clause in Contracts

LCC AUTHORITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. LCCs shall:  Receive TO Long-Term and Short-Term Transmission Outage requests from TOs for all Category A Facilities, and for Category B Facilities if Generator/DARD output could be affected by the outage. Outage requests for Local Area Facilities that affect Generator or DARD output shall be processed using LCC and ISO OP-5 scheduling practices  Prior to submitting proposed outages to ISO for final evaluation and approval, review proposed Long-Term and Short-Term Transmission Outage requests and compare them with Generator/DARD outage plans and requests received from ISO as follows: o Evaluate the impacts of proposed transmission outages on the reliability of LCC operations. Reposition or disapprove any outage that could be expected to violate LCC reliability criteria and for which repositioning the outage could reasonably be expected to improve reliability o Identify and pursue cases where Generator/DARD and transmission outages could be adjusted to reduce/eliminate Congestion Costs and overall outage duration. In each case, LCCs will facilitate/coordinate outages as detailed in Section VI.B.1 of this procedure to achieve Significantly Reduced Congestion Costs, or to achieve lesser congestion reduction if the TO(s) agree.  Forward Submitted Long-Term and Short-Term Transmission Outages to ISO for further evaluation and coordination  Transmit ISO actions regarding outage requests to TOs  Perform dispatching functions for all Category B and Local Area Facilities if Generator/DARD output is not affected by the outage, if assigned that responsibility by its Market Participants  Promote a continuous flow of information between ISO and TOs to match pending transmission outage work with Generator/DARD outages to the extent practicable  Verify that non-public transmission outage information and outage information associated with other Generators/DARDs is not shared with the Generator/DARD Owners contacted  Refrain from engaging in multi-party communications simultaneously with Generator/DARD and TOs unless the transmission outage of concern only affects one Generator/DARD owner
