Background:

In May 2011, FPL requested an interpretation of MOD-028-1, Requirement R3.1.  The requests asks for clarification of the timing and frequency of TTC calculations needed for ATC calculations. At its July 2011 meeting the Standards Committee approved addressing FPL’s request for interpretation through a rapid revision to the MOD-028-1 standard.  The interpretation drafting team was appointed as the standard drafting team and directed to submit both a SAR and proposed revisions to MOD-028-1 addressing the issue raised in the RFI.  Because the revisions are narrowly focused on addressing the clarification requested by FPL, the Standards Committee approved waiving the initial 30-day formal comment period and directed that the SAR and proposed revisions to the standard be posted for a 45-day parallel comment period and ballot.
