NT Assignment Update: 9/17/13
NT Assignment Update Resources:
NT Assignment Update • Review Scope • Key Issues • Comparison of NITS to PTP in Preemption and Competition • Review of Motions and Parking Lot
NT Assignment Update Scope Goals in Assignment Document: • Review NITS and provide a clear list of how any standards there will impact our current thinking/motions of how NT competes in the ST market. • Develop a matrix of motion revisions or new motions with columns for Pros and Cons from an NT perspective and a PTP perspective. • Identify conflicts with motions for NITS and propose new wording for any motions NT would like changed. Proposed Scope: • Focus on Tier 1 and Tier 3 bumping of lower priority tiers. OATT section 2.2 is out of scope. • Develop a comparison between key P&C requirements for NITS vs PTP • Review parking lot & motions and identify any conflicts with respect to administration of Tier 1 & Tier 3 bumping • Prepare recommendations for bumping by Tier 1 & Tier 3 • Provide drafts for new motions to facilitate Tier 1 & Tier 3 bumping Change name to Tiers 1 & 3 Assignment so that it includes Tier 1 LT Firm & Native Load bumping.
Tiers 1 & 3 Assignment Update Key Issues The following issues have been identified for further review. Other issues may be identified. • Should NITS challengers be required to have a flat profile? • Should bumping be initiated when only partial service is available to the challenger? • Should there be any new or modified rules with respect to a Tier 1 or Tier 3 customer bumping its own lower priority reservation? • Should there be any different rules with respect to selecting defenders? • For example, what rules should apply to timing of bumping (e.g., should NITS be permitted to bump a lower priority reservation that has passed its start date)? • Review WEQ-001-4.15 language in the first sentence to see if it needs to be revised to allow Tier 1 to processing priority over Tier 2.
