TFE Part B – Disapprovals
• Asset quantity exceeds that in Part A• Missing verification from the vendors
• Vendor’s Operating Guide “Silence is Golden” is not true
• Impact assessment does not include the effect on the asset AND the BES if the compensating and mitigating measures fail
• No commitment to file Quarterly and/or Annual Reports

TFE – Miscellaneous
• For new TFE for new assets, must submit Part A before asset connected to the network and turned on• 60 days ahead would be ideal
• Changes to asset quantities should be put in the TFE Summary Spreadsheets and submitted with the Quarterly Reports
• After Amending a Part A, submit the associated Part B
