Revised 11/29-12/01/11
[ebs1]Suggest defining the term NITS Application rather than Application. The definition could be modified to state “shall have the same meaning as application as defined in the FERC pro forma OATT. In most instances in the recommendation the references are NITS Application. Application has multiple meanings throughout the Business Practice Standards. By placing the NITS qualifier as part of the term it will avoid confusion with other applications such as an Authorized Certificate Authority application or a system application
