Transmission Service Requests. Purpose: Beyond the operating horizon, the impacts of existing transmission service requests are also necessary for the calculation of AFC for future time periods. Inasmuch as a transmission reservation is a right to use and not an obligation to use the transmission system, there is no certainty that any particular reservation will result in a corresponding interchange schedule. This is especially true considering that the pro forma OATT allows firm service on a given path to be redirected as non-firm service on any other path. In addition, the ultimate transmission customer may not have, at a given time, purchased all transmission reservations on a particular source-to-sink path. A further complication is that the duration or firmness of the one portion of the reservation may not be the same as the remaining portion. Since, prior to scheduling, it is difficult to associate reservations involving multiple Transmission Providers that may be used to complete a single transaction, double counting in the AFC determination process is a possibility. It is therefore acknowledged that certain reservations respecting one Party are not required to be incorporated into transmission models developed by the other Party.
