LONG DESCRIPTION:  The Net Dependable Capability and Reactive Capability
(NDCRC) application has been available through the Texas Market Link

the unannounced tests online.  

Please note that for Jointly Owned Units (JOUs), the Master QSE only

whole physical unit.

following:

*	Functionality to delete a submitted real or reactive test before
it is approved. 
*	On the reactive test page, you can select one or more limiting
factors and comments for each data point.  

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  Effective December 1, 2008, use of the NDCRC
application is mandatory for submitting seasonal, biennial unit tests
and results of unannounced tests.  Paper copies will not be accepted
after December 1, 2008.
