Sunday, March 9, 2008.

INTENDED AUDIENCE:  Market Participant USAs and Backup USAs

DAYS AFFECTED:  5:00 PM Friday, March 7, 2008 through 11:59 PM Sunday,

LONG DESCRIPTION:   New functionality for Market Participant USAs to
manage Digital Certificate users and manage user access via the Market

all User Access activities:

*	No Market Participant USA or user certificates can be created or
updated

*	No certificates can be picked up
*	No certificates can be revoked 

 

After 5:00 PM Friday, March 7, 2008 the TML USA User Access

will be provided as it becomes available. 

 

ACTION REQUIRED:   If Market Participants have Digital Certificates that
will expire during the March 3rd through the 14th timeframe, they should
re-issue those certificates at least ten (10) days in advance.  

 

The renew user function will be disabled for twelve (12) months
following the MPIM implementation.  USAs will be required to issue all
new Digital Certificates via the MPIM system.

certificates previously issued within the Market Operating Testing
Environment (MOTE) will be decommissioned.  Prior to the implementation
