Subject:

Today the Protocol Review Subcommittee passed unanimously a revision request
that will allow ercot to grant "provisional authorization" to QSE to provide
ancillary services for a period of 90 days while any deficiencies in the
certification can be corrected. The request will be sent to the TAC where it
will have an e-mail vote and I would not anticipate any opposition.

To receive the "provisional authorization" the QSE needs to have performed an
Ancillary Services qualification test in good faith but failed to qualify due
to problems that in the opinion of ERCOT, are noncritical for providing one
or more ancillary services. My understanding is that Frontera has not had
the primary test. According to John Adams at ERCOT four have been scheduled
and subsequently cancelled. It will be critical to schedule and complete the
test to be considered for the "provisional authorization".

I spoke with John Adams regarding staffing to help perform the qualification
tests and he said that they would be able to do the certification tests at
about any time without any major scheduling delays. The only time when they
would not be able to do the tests would be when ESCA will take control of the
systems to perform cut-over operations.
