SPP is submitting this filing because the Twelfth Revised Basin Agreements
include terms and conditions that do not conform to the standard form of service
agreements in the SPP Open Access Transmission Tariff (“SPP Tariff”).
3
I. Unexecuted Filing
The Twelfth Revised Basin NOA submitted herein is unexecuted. NPPD
declined to execute the Twelfth Revised Basin NOA because it stated that it is not
in its best interest to execute Twelfth Revised Basin NOA.
II. Description of the Twelfth Revised Basin Agreements
Since the July Order, the Parties updated the Eleventh Revised Basin
Service Agreement in Section 3.0 of Attachment 1 to correctly list L&O’s name; in
Appendix 1 to update the Network Resources; in Appendix 2 to correctly list
L&O’s name; and in Appendix 3 to update the Delivery Points. The Parties revised
the Eleventh Revised Basin NOA to update the effective date and give all the
Parties the opportunity to execute it. To facilitate these changes, SPP submits the
Twelfth Revised Basin Agreements.
III. Non-Conforming Terms and Conditions
The Twelfth Revised Basin Service Agreement retains the non-conforming
terms and conditions in Sections 2.0, 8.4.1, 8.10, and 11.0 of Attachment 1 from
MRES, Mountrail, NIPCO, NPPD, Northwestern, Tri-State and WAPA are
referred to collectively as the “Parties”. The Twelfth Revised Basin
Agreements are designated as Twelfth Revised Service Agreement No.

Basin Agreements. To permit such an effective date, SPP requests a waiver of the
Commission's 60-day notice requirement set forth at 18 C.F.R. § 35.3. Waiver is
appropriate because the Twelfth Revised Basin Agreements are being filed within
30 days of the commencement of service.
