ERCOT is in the testing phase of PR0047-01CMSDK/MIR Replacement whic=
h replaces the current back end Market Information Repository (MIR) system =
with a new Information Content Exchange (ICE) system=2E The MIR/ICE=

This project is set to go-live in the late March to April timef=
rame=2E Shortly thereafter, ERCOT will implement a change=0D=0A to th=
e report file naming convention to introduce milliseconds into token 5 of t=
he filename=2E The addition of the millisecond format, as described in deta=
il in the information below, will apply to all unexpired (i=2Ee=2E, new and=
