3. Description of Proposed Standard or Enhancement:
NAESB_Standard R03013 was approved by the Executive Committee in May, 2004 and ratified by the general membership in June 2004. Standard R03013 identifies the market-supported processes necessary to facilitate Interchange transactions. It specifies the arrangements that need to be made and the data that needs to be communicated to the Interchange Authority (IA) in order for Interchange to take place between the Source and Sink Balancing Authorities.
Unfortunately, the Standard does not address the fact that Industry is transforming into Version 0 Standards and the entities which will perform the reliability functions under Version 0 may not be the same entities performing those functions today as this Standard suggests (e.g., Tagging Authority). Also, there are definitions which were purposely excluded from this Standard but now are necessary for clarity (e.g. Reliability Coordinator, Balancing Authority, Purchasing-Selling Entity).
Furthermore, NERC’s Coordinate Interchange Standard Drafting Team has including Timing requirements within their proposed Standard which previously were not considered. The NERC timing requirements for the reliability period no longer make it necessary for the NAESB Standard to include these reliability timing requirements in its R01013 Standard. As a result, the Standard should no longer require the Requesting PSE to provide the RFI to the Reliability Entities for reliability assessment as previously required.
Finally, Industry participants have provided several recommendations on re-wording some of the requirements within the Standard to make the intent of the requirement more clear and understandable.

4. Use of Proposed Standard or Enhancement (include how the standard will be used, documentation on the description of the proposed standard, any existing documentation of the proposed standard, and required communication protocols):
As stated above, this revised Standard will be used to identify market-supported processes necessary to facilitate interchange transactions. It specifies the arrangements that need to be made and the data that needs to be communicated to the Interchange Authority in order for Interchange to take place between Source and Sink Balancing Authorities. As revised, this Standard will better accomplish the intent of the original Standard.
A preliminary copy of this revised Standard will be provided for discussion for the Triage conference call scheduled for January 10th and the JIC meeting scheduled for January 18th.
