Submittal Date: Should be updated with every Brief Report update.

Brief Description (3): It is expected that a Notification submittal will be shorter than a Brief Report submittal.

Questions 6 -11: If the event did involve generation, frequency, transmission facilities, and/or load question (6 – 11), may be left blank.

Generation Tripped Off-line (6): Provide a total MW loss and the names of the units that tripped off-line due to the event.

Restoration Time (11): Provide the times that affected transmission, generation, and/or were restored.

Sequence of Events (12): The sequence of events should provide a timeline of the events that took place leading up to and through the event.
