the transmission service.The Transmission Provider is required to
provide (or offer to arrange with the local Control Area operator as
discussed below), and the Transmission Customer is required to
purchase, the following Ancillary Services (i) Scheduling, System
Control and Dispatch, and (ii) Reactive Supply and Voltage Control
from Generation Sources.
The Transmission Provider is required to offer to provide (or

from another source.The Transmission Customer must list in its
Application which Ancillary Services it will purchase from the
Transmission Provider.
If the Transmission Provider is a public utility providing
transmission service but is not a Control Area operator, it may be
unable to provide some or all of the Ancillary Services.In this
case, the Transmission Provider can fulfill its obligation to

operator.The Transmission Customer may elect to (i) have the
Transmission Provider act as its agent,(ii) secure the Ancillary
Services directly from the Control Area operator, or (iii) secure
the Ancillary Services (discussed in Schedules 3, 4, 5 and 6) from a
third party or by self-supply when technically feasible.
The Transmission Provider shall specify the rate treatment and
all related terms and conditions in the event of an unauthorized use
of Ancillary Services by the Transmission Customer.
The specific Ancillary Services, prices and/or compensation
methods are described on the Schedules that are attached to and made

Supply and Vol tage Control from Generation Sources Service must be
provided for each transaction on the Transmission Provider
transmission facilities.The amount of Reactive Supply and Voltage
Control from Generation Sources Service that must be supplied wi th
respect to the Transmission Customer s transaction will be

Regula tion and Frequency Response Service
Regulation and Frequency Response Service is necessary to
provide for the continuous balancing of resources (generation and
interchange) wi th load and for maintaining scheduled Interconnection
frequency at sixty cycles per second (60 Hz)Regulation and
Frequency Response Service is accomplished by committing on-line
generation whose output is raised or lowered (predominantly through
the use of automatic generating control equipment) as necessary to
follow the moment-by-moment changes in load.The obligation to
maintain this balance between resources and load lies wi th the
Transmission Provider (or the Control Area operator that performs
this function for the Transmission Provider) The Transmission
Provider must offer this service when the transmission service
