The SAR DT is responsible for working with the requestor of the SAR to finalize the language of the SAR. The SAR defines the scope of the work the standard drafting team will undertake for the subject project. Once the SAR is finalized and approved by the Standards Committee the SAR DT will be disbanded.

The draft SAR for Project 2009-03 — Emergency Operations proposes revisions to the following standards:  EOP-001-0 — Emergency Operations Planning  EOP-002-2 — Capacity and Energy Emergencies  EOP-003-1 — Load Shedding Plans  IRO-001-1 — Reliability Coordination — Responsibilities and Authorities There have been many suggestions for improving these standards to ensure that each requirement is written so that it is clear and enforceable; to provide greater clarity to the applicability of each requirement (particularly in EOP-001 through EOP-003); and to add technically sound requirements for load shedding programs.

Please briefly describe your experience and qualifications directly related to the issues to be addressed by the Emergency Operations SAR Drafting Team. We are seeking a cross section of the industry to participate on the team, but in particular are seeking individuals who collectively have experience in real time operations (especially working for the Reliability Coordinator, Transmission Operator and Balancing Authority) and experience in establishing and testing load shedding programs.
