Initial Allocation and Renewal Procedures
2.1
Initial Allocation of Available Transmission Capability
For purposes of determining whether existing capability on the
Transmission System is adequate to accommodate a request for firm service under
this Tariff, the existing transmission reservation queues of the Transmission
Owners and ITC Participants will be consolidated into a single Transmission
Provider transmission reservation queue, commencing thirty (30) days before the
ITC becomes operational, recognizing the priorities existing with respect to the
Transmission Owner's or ITC Participants' system.
2.2
Reservation Priority For Existing Firm Service Customers
Existing firm service customers (wholesale requirements and
transmission-only with a contract term of one-year or more, and retail customers,
irrespective of term) of the Transmission Owncr(s). ITC Participant(s). or
Transmission Provider have the right to continue to take transmission sen-ice
from the Transmission Provider when the contract expires, rolls over or is
renewed. For purposes of this Section 2.2. a request for transmission service
made by an existing firm service customer in the exercise of the above right shall
be known as a '"Rollover Request."

This transmission reservation priority is independent of whether the existing
customer continues to purchase capacity and energy from the Transmission
Owner(s) or ITC Participant(s) or elects to purchase capacity and energy from
another supplier. If a new request(s) for Transmission Service or Rollover
Requestfs) for the total amount of capacity for a given interface have been
submitted on the OASIS ("Competing Queue"), and the Transmission System
cannot accommodate all of the requests for transmission service, the existing firm
sendee customer must agree to accept a contract term at least equal to a
competing request by any new Eligible Customer and to pay the current just and
reasonable rate, as approved by the Commission, for such service. Once the
Competition Queue is established and if a Transmission Customer has submitted
two Rollover Requests covering successive time periods, and the service period of
the iirst-m-time Rollover Request is extended due to a competing request, the
second-in-time Rollover Request shall be annulled and the Transmission
Customer shall lose its place in the transmission queue for the second-in-time
Rollover Request. The Transmission Customer shall be required to submit a new
Rollover Request and take a new place in the transmission queue to exercise its
rollover rights in the time period subsequent to the expiration date of its
first-in-time Rollover Request.

This transmission reservation priority for Rollover Request customers is an
ongoing right that may be exercised at the end of all firm contract terms of one
year or longer. This reservation priority only applies to the facilities of the
Transmission Owner(s) or 1TC Participants) where such facility costs have been
included as part of the firm sen-ice rates that the firm service customer has been
paying. If competing Rollover Request customers apply for service that cannot be
fully provided, the priority rights will be ranked in accordance with first come.

which they receive priority rights under this Tariff shall be apportioned on a pro

Upon the submission of a Rollover Request by a Transmission Customer.
the Transmission Customer must revise, as may be necessary, the contact

Because the Transmission Provider is a public utility providing Transmission
Service, but is not a Control Area Operator, it will be unable to provide directly some or
all of the Ancillary Services. In this case, the Transmission Provider can fulfill its
obligation to provide Ancillary Services by acting as the Transmission Customer's agent
to secure these Ancillary Services from the Control Area Operator. The Transmission
Customer may elect to: (i) have the Transmission Provider act as its agent, (ii) secure the
Ancillary Sen ices directly from the appropriate Control Area Operator, or (iii) secure the
Ancillary Services (discussed in Schedules 3, 5 and 6) from a third party or by
self-supply when technically feasible. Each Transmission Owner, ITC, and ITC
Participant (and User, where applicable), with the ability to provide any or all of these
Ancillary Services shall offer to provide such services (with respect to loads within its
Control Area) under cost-based schedules unless market-based rates have been accepted

In cases where the Transmission Provider or ITC determines that the
Transmission System is not capable of providing Firm Point-To-Point
Transmission Service without: (1) degrading or impairing the reliability of service
to Native Load Customers. Network Customers and other Transmission
Customers taking Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service; or (2) interfering

commitments to others, the relevant Transmission Owner(s) or ITC will be

terms of Section 15.4. The Transmission Customer must agree to pay the
Transmission Provider or ITC for any necessary transmission facility additions
pursuant to the terms of Section 27. To the extent a system constraint can be
relieved more economically by rcdispatching Generation Resources rather than
through constructing Network Upgrades, the procedures in Module C. or the ITC

Procedures for Assignment or Transfer of Service
Subject to Commission approval of any necessary filings, a Transmission
Customer may sell, assign, or transfer all or a portion of its rights under its

(ii) the Transmission Provider's or. as applicable, ITC's maximum rate on file at
the time of the assignment, or (Hi) the Reseller's opportunity cost capped at the
Transmission Provider's or. as applicable, ITC's cost of expansion. If the
Assignee does not request any change in the Point(s) of Receipt or the Point(s) of
Delivery, or a change in any other term or condition set forth in the original
Service Agreement, the Assignee will receive the same services as did the
Reseller and the priority of service for the Assignee will be the same as that of the
Reseller. A Reseller should notify7 the Transmission Provider as soon as possible
after any assignment or transfer of service occurs but in any event, notification
must be provided prior to any provision of sen-ice to the Assignee. The Assignee
will be subject to all terms and conditions of this Tariff. If the Assignee requests
a change in service, the reservation priority of service will be determined by the

NETWORK INTEGRATION TRANSMISSION SERVICE
Preamble
The Transmission Provider will provide Network Integration Transmission Service
pursuant to the applicable terms and conditions contained in the Tariff and Service Agreement.
Network Integration Transmission Service allows the Network Customer to integrate,
economically dispatch and regulate its current and planned Network Resources to serve its
Network Load in a manner comparable to that in which the Transmission Owners utilize the
Transmission System to serve their Native Load or other Network Customers. Network
Integration Transmission Service also may be used by the Network Customer to deliver economy
Energy purchases to its Network Load from non-designated resources on an as-available basis
without additional charge. Transmission Service for sales to non-designated Loads will be
provided pursuant to the applicable terms and conditions of Module B of this Tariff and/or any
applicable ITC Rate Schedule.

System, provided that the Network Customer has an appropriate Service Agreement with the
Transmission Provider. Network Resources located outside of the Transmission System
(Michigan) will be required to obtain services under Schedule 9 of this Tariff in order to import
such Network Resource(s) to the Transmission System (Michigan). Network Customers with
Loads and Resources physically and directly interconnected with the Transmission System

the Transmission System in accordance with Good Utility Practice in order to
provide the Network Customer with Network Integration Transmission Service
over the Transmission System. The Transmission Owners and ITC Participants,
on behalf of Native Load Customers, shall be required to designate resources and
Loads in the same manner as any Network Customer under Module B of this
Tariff. This information must be consistent with the information used by the
Transmission Provider to calculate available transmission capability. The
Transmission Provider and ITC shall include the Network Customer's Network
Load in Transmission System planning and shall, consistent with Good Utility
Practice, endeavor to cause to be constructed and placed into service sufficient
transmission capacity to deliver the Network Customer's Network Resources to
serve its Network Load on a basis comparable to the Transmission Owner(s') and
ITC Participant(s') delivery of electric generating and purchased resources to
Native Load Customers.
