• Entities can participate in the subsequent FTR Auctions• FTRS will be allocated for two seasons:

– 12/19/2013 – 2/28/2014– 3/1/2014 – 5/31/2014

• Entities will participate in Year 1 Annual ARR Allocation from 2014/15 Planning Period and onwards

Data Gathering• Data Gathering and Registration establishes which

transmission services are eligible to participate in the ARR/FTR Allocation

• Data evaluation is based on a Reference Year– Reference Year is the year that is used by MISO to determine the

initial ARR Zones and ARR Entitlements

• Establishes a qualified set of ARR Points of Delivery (sinks) and Resources (sources)– Determines ARR Zones and Reserved Source Points (RSP)– Determines which RSP are Baseload (BRSS) and which are Peak

(PRSS)
