NOTICE DATE:  October 1, 2008 
NOTICE TYPE:  R-A100108-01 - INFORMATIONAL:  Cancellation Window Temporarily Extended 
CLASSIFICATION: Public
SHORT DESCRIPTION:  ERCOT temporarily extends cancellation window to November 10, 2008 for enrollment orders in the CenterPoint Energy and Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) territories.

INTENDED AUDIENCE:  CRs and TDSPs 
DAY AFFECTED:  September 11, 2008 through October 3, 2008
LONG DESCRIPTION:  In accordance with PUC Project No. 36150 (Issues Relating to the Disaster Resulting from Hurricane Ike), ERCOT will be temporarily extending cancellation timing for a subset of enrollment orders in the CenterPoint Energy and Texas-New Mexico Power territories.

CenterPoint Energy and TNMP requested that ERCOT help in their efforts to clean up their backlog of transactions. 
ERCOT plans to extend the cancellation window to November 10, 2008 for move-in and move-out orders to avoid orders being cancelled with exception due the TDSPs inability to respond within the window.  ERCOT will be working with CenterPoint Energy and TNMP to evaluate orders received up to and including October 3, 2008. 

The intent is to minimize the number of move-in or move-out orders that would cancel due to the timeframe necessary to handle the recovery effort and minimize potential out of synch conditions in the market. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  Reference CenterPoint Energy market notice on September 29, 2008 – Market Notice: CenterPoint Energy Announces Strategic Plan to Accept and Process Backlogged Enrollment Transactions and Resume Meter Reading.
