NOTICE TYPE:  M-A052112-01 CRR
SHORT DESCRIPTION:  Inadvertent disclosure of CRR Account Holder identities with posting of monthly CRR Auction results for June 2012
INTENDED AUDIENCE:  ERCOT Market Participants
DAY AFFECTED:  May 21, 2012
LONG DESCRIPTION:  The monthly ERCOT Congestion Revenue Rights (CRR) Auction results for June 2012 were published as scheduled on May 21, 2012. As per CRR procedures, after publishing the auction results, ERCOT re-packaged the CRR common results files into a duplicate posting for the Market Information System (MIS) Public Area at 07:28 CDT; however, the zip file contained a system file not normally disclosed to the public and the normal monthly CRR Auction results file, but identified the names of CRR Account Holders with their specific bids and offers. The zip file was removed at 12:09 CDT, and replaced with a correct file at 13:33 CDT.
Pursuant to paragraph (2)(g) of Protocol Section 7.5.3.1, Data Transparency, "Following each CRR Auction, ERCOT shall post to the MIS Public Area the following information for all outstanding or sold CRRs following this auction: . . .All CRR Auction bids and CRR Auction offers, without identifying the name of the CRR Account Holder that submitted the bid or offer." ERCOT requests that any Market Participant that downloaded the original zip file delete all copies immediately and re-download the replacement file for the proper assessment of the CRR Auction results. Additionally, ERCOT will individually follow-up with Entities that it has confirmed downloaded the original zip file to ensure deletion of all data.
