WECC Request for Interpretation - BAL-001 and BAL-003

Status:
The interpretation of BAL-001 R1 and BAL-003 R3 was approved by stakeholders and the NERC Board of Trustees and received regulatory approval on July 21, 2008. 

Purpose/Industry Need:
The Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) requests an interpretation applicable to the NERC standard requirements BAL-001-0, R1 and BAL-003-0, R3. Specifically, the WECC asks that NERC conclude and confirm that the WECC's Automatic Time Error Control Procedure (ATEC) does not violate NERC standards. This interpretation would permit the continued use of WECC's ATEC within the Western Interconnection
