V. Monitoring, Reporting, and Procedure for Refinements to Pilot

Though we set the overall parameters for the SPP and its various Tracks in this decision, we expect that, as a result of further market research and implementation efforts, modifications or refinements to the pilot design may be necessary. Parties should raise any such issues formally by filing a motion, fully describing the desired modification or refinement. In order to facilitate the launch of the SPP pilot, we delegate to the Assigned ALJ, in consultation with the WG3 facilitator and staff supporting WG1, the task of authorizing, via ruling, any required modifications or refinements to the pilot program.

In the interests of adequately monitoring the progress of the pilot, we are requiring respondents to file and serve bimonthly reports, as more specifically detailed in Appendices C and D.
