The ISO’s OATT administration responsibilities shall include those enumerated below: (i) The ISO shall receive, post on OASIS as required by Commission regulations, and respond to all Transmission Service requests and requests to be interconnected to the New England Transmission System under the ISO OATT, including the Local Service Schedules. Except as provided in Section 3.03(a)(ii), the ISO shall perform the system impact studies and facilities studies (and execute and administer agreements for such studies) in connection with such requests; provided, however, that: (A) the ISO shall consult with a PTO prior to completion of system impact studies and facilities studies in connection with requests that affect such PTO’s Transmission Facilities and shall include in any such studies the PTO’s reasonable estimates of the costs of upgrades to such PTO’s Transmission Facilities needed to implement the conclusions of such studies and the PTO’s reasonable anticipated schedule for the construction of such upgrades; (B) nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the ISO from entering into an agreement(s) with a PTO for such studies, pursuant to the ISO’s supervision and the ISO’s authority to require modifications to such studies, to perform system impact studies and facilities studies in connection with requests that affect such PTO’s Transmission Facilities; (C) except as provided in Section 3.03(a)(ii) with respect to interconnection of Generating Units that would not have an impact on facilities used for the provision of regional transmission service, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the performance of studies related to the interconnection of Generating Units by a third party consultant to the extent permitted by applicable procedures in the ISO OATT (including procedures governing the treatment of confidential information) and provided that such studies performed by any third party consultant must include the PTO’s reasonable estimates of the costs of upgrades to such PTO’s Transmission Facilities needed to implement the conclusions of such studies and the PTO’s reasonable anticipated schedule for the construction of such upgrades; and (D) each PTO shall, upon request by the ISO, conduct any necessary studies related to such PTO’s Transmission Facilities, including system impact studies and facilities studies, and shall assist in the performance of any such studies, including the provision of information and data in accordance with Section 11.09 of this Agreement. (ii) The ISO shall forward to the appropriate PTO(s) applications for Local Service. The ISO shall review applications for Local Service or requests to be interconnected to the New England Transmission System to determine whether the service or interconnection would have an impact on facilities used for the provision of regional transmission service. If so, the ISO will perform a system impact study and facilities study, as necessary to address the impacts on facilities used for the provision of regional transmission service. The PTO shall be responsible for reviewing and responding to requests for Local Service not having an impact on facilities used for the provision of regional transmission service and for interconnections not having an impact on facilities used for the provision of regional transmission service, and shall perform all system impact studies and facilities studies regarding such requests; provided, however, that the PTO shall consult with the ISO prior to completion of such system impact studies and facilities studies and further provided that the ISO will use reasonable efforts to assist the PTO and interconnecting party in resolving disputes arising regarding the performance of such studies.

To the extent that TTC and ATC on a PTO’s Local Network must be calculated in connection with the provision of Local Service, then the PTO shall calculate such TTC and ATC. (iv) The ISO shall operate and maintain the OASIS (or a successor system) as required by FERC, including posting of TTC/ATC for interties on the New England Transmission System; provided, however, that such system shall conform to the requirements for such systems as specified by FERC. The PTOs shall provide updates to PTO-specific Local Service pages on the OASIS site, subject to the ISO’s review of such updates. The ISO shall have the authority to direct any changes to such PTO-specific Local Service pages that it deems appropriate to conform to FERC requirements and the terms and conditions of the ISO OATT. (v) The ISO shall procure and act as supplier of last resort of Ancillary Services (including arranging for the sale and purchase of emergency capacity and energy with neighboring Control Areas), in accordance with the ISO OATT and FERC-accepted or -approved Market Rules. (vi) The ISO shall provide regional Transmission Service to Transmission Customers over the Transmission Facilities in accordance with the rates, terms and conditions of the ISO OATT, subject to Section 3.03(c) with respect to Local Service. (vii) The ISO shall track inadvertent energy and administer inadvertent energy payback/accounting with neighboring Control Areas in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Interconnection Agreements or Coordination Agreements with neighboring Control Areas and applicable tariff provisions.
