NOTICE TYPE:  M-B091614-03 Reminder-Release - Retail/Wholesale
SHORT DESCRIPTION:  Reminder - Implementation details for PR066-01, NPRR622 and PGRR036
INTENDED AUDIENCE:  ERCOT Market Participants
DAY AFFECTED:  October 16, 2014, after 17:00
LONG DESCRIPTION:  On October 16, 2014, ERCOT will implement PR066-01, Planning Site Transition to MIS, which will include the implementation of Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) 622, Replace Planning and Operations Information Website References with MIS, and Planning Guide Revision Request (PGRR) 036, Planning Market Data Transparency.  With this implementation, the Planning and Operations Information (POI) site will be decommissioned and identified documents will be posted on the Market Information System (MIS).  This will allow a single source of access for Market Data Transparency and provides secure authenticated access to information via Digital Certificates.
A Digital Certificate is required to access the MIS.  Users of Registered Entities may obtain a Digital Certificate or update roles by contacting their User Security Administrator (USA).
The majority of the POI data is being transferred to the MIS Secure Area and is accessible with all valid Digital Certificates.  Two new Certified Digital Certificate roles have been created for entities with specific permissions designated as a transmission operator or Performance, Disturbance, Compliance Working Group (PDCWG) member.  Details regarding these roles will be provided to applicable parties.  A POI to MIS Transition Mapping Document<http://www.ercot.com/services/mdt/index.html> has been created and posted as a Key Document on ERCOT.com.
In addition to new MIS Pages, Portlets and Links for transitioning POI content, a new planning-specific Reports and Extracts Index page has been created.  The Planning Information Index will contain the links for the Pubic and Secure planning documents.  Certified transmission operator and PDCWG links will appear in the current Reports and Extracts Index list.
Timeline:
10/16/2014, after 17:00:  All identified POI items will be transitioned to the MIS. All POI information will post to the MIS going forward.
10/16/2014 - 11/1/2014: POI site will be available but information may not be current.
11/1/2014 - 11/14/2014: The POI site will be available but will direct users to the MIS for the content.
