In the event that such Affected Persons do not reach agreement on any element(s) of a Near-Term EOP, the Staff shall make a recommendation for any unresolved element(s) of a Near-Term EOP and may, as the Staff finds appropriate, present fully-developed alternatives for the Board’s consideration. The Staff shall inform the Study Team regarding its recommendation and allow the Study Team the opportunity to comment. In the event there is still not agreement among the Affected Persons, the Staff shall include its recommendation in the Draft Plan. In such event, ColumbiaGrid shall endeavor to make an equitable allocation of the costs of an EOP taking into account (i) the causation of the Need giving rise to such EOP or (ii) the delay or elimination during the Planning Horizon of any Need as a result of the EOP. Where there are two affected TOPPs, and one has a Need and the best way to meet that Need is to upgrade facilities on the other XXXX’x system, ColumbiaGrid shall allocate costs in a form of Facilities Agreement to the XXXX causing the Need. ColumbiaGrid may also allocate costs to a XXXX in a Facilities Agreement whose Need does not give rise to the Staff-Recommended EOP but that has a Need during the Planning Horizon that is met by such EOP; provided that ColumbiaGrid shall not allocate costs to such XXXX in an amount that exceeds the cost that would have been incurred by such XXXX had it met its Need with a separate EOP. The Staff shall not allocate costs based upon other potential future system benefits. When the Staff submits the Draft Plan to the Board for approval, the Staff shall identify such elements and shall include a summary analysis of minority positions on any aspect of such Staff-Recommended EOP.
