XXXX’s and MRO’s Response Sample Clauses

XXXX’s and MRO’s Response. 78. XXXX and MRO propose to revise the definition of the term “sub-regional variance,” as it appears in the MRO Standards Development Process Manual to include the following additional sentence: “[a] Sub-regional variance cannot establish a level of reliability less than that set by a continent-wide Reliability Standard and such a variance would only exempt a group of entities from a MRO Reliability Standard.”

XXXX’s and MRO’s Response. 158. NERC and MRO state that the amended and restated MRO Delegation Agreement complies with the requirements of the April 19 Order. With respect to fees, NERC and MRO state that MRO does not charge an annual membership fee but does charge a $1,000 initiation fee covering the administrative costs of new members. NERC and MRO state that the initiation fee does not apply to small end use load members. With respect to Exhibit E, NERC states that the MRO Exhibit E has been revised to conform with the pro forma Delegation Agreement and lists, at Exhibit E, section 1, “necessary data gathering activities” as one of MRO’s delegated activities to be funded through the ERO funding mechanism. NERC and MRO add that, in conformance with the pro forma Delegation Agreement, Exhibit E now includes section 5, addressing the budget and funding for MRO’s non-statutory activities.
