NOTICE DATE:  August 16, 2013
NOTICE TYPE:  M-A080113-03 Legal
SHORT DESCRIPTION:  REMINDER – Annual Certification Form submission requested in Market Notices M-A080113-01 and M-A080113-02 pursuant to proposed requirements in NPRR552, Additional Counter-Party Criteria
INTENDED AUDIENCE:  Counter-Parties
DAY AFFECTED:  September 30, 2013

LONG DESCRIPTION:  On August 1, 2013, ERCOT issued Market Notice M-A080113-01, requesting that, by September 30, 2013, each Counter-Party provide certification that it meets the “allowable contract participant” requirements of Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) 552.  On August 2, 2013, ERCOT issued Market Notice M-A080113-02, correcting an erroneous citation in the Annual Certification Form attached to the original Market Notice and requesting submission of this corrected form.

ERCOT again strongly encourages Counter-Parties to submit the corrected Annual Certification Form before September 30, 2013.  On that date, the “no-action” relief granted by the Commodity Future Trading Commission (CFTC) with respect to its Final Order on RTO and ISO Exemption for Certain Specified Transactions will terminate.  After that date, ERCOT must prohibit participation by Entities that could jeopardize ERCOT’s exemption under the CFTC’s order.  The Annual Certification Form required by NPRR 552 is necessary to ensure that each Counter-Party complies with the terms of the exemption.  Although the Board is not expected to consider NPRR 552 until its September 17, 2013 meeting, ERCOT will accept submissions of the Annual Certification Form before this date, contingent upon Board approval of the NPRR.

ACTION REQUIRED: Attachment A to this Notification is the corrected version of the proposed Protocol Section 22 Attachment J, Annual Certification Form (also attached to Market Notice M-A080113-02).  Each Counter-Party must submit to ERCOT a notarized certificate, signed by an officer or executive with authority to bind the Counter-Party, in the form of Attachment A to this Notification.  The Annual Certification Form should be provided as soon as possible and in all cases no later than September 30, 2013.

If NPRR 552 is approved, failure to submit the Annual Certification Form by September 30, 2013 will result in ERCOT taking remedial action (e.g., material breach) on the following day as authorized under the Standard Form Market Participant (MP) Agreement, the ERCOT Protocols and/or the Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA).

Please forward the Annual Certification Form to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> with the original document sent to:
