Common use of Responsive Pleadings Clause in Contracts

Responsive Pleadings. 36. American Municipal Power-Ohio, Inc. (AMP-Ohio), Xcel, Edison Electric Institute (EEI), GSOC, and the American Public Power Association (APPA) request clarifications and revisions regarding the requirements governing the preparation of audit reports under sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.6. AMP-Ohio asserts that the final report should be provided to the audited entity and NERC simultaneously and that the audited entity should be given the right to submit its objections to NERC. Xxxx argues that the audited entity should be given the right to review and comment on the draft audit report before it is made final. GSOC argues that the statement, in footnote 1, that the compliance audit “normally completes within [60] days of the completion of the compliance audit” is circular and should be either revised or deleted. GSOC also asserts that to reduce potential confusion, time periods should consistently be stated as calendar days rather than sometimes referring to months which may vary in length (e.g., section 3.1.1) or to undefined “business days” (e.g. section 3.1.6).
