01: Please supply any comments related to the Introduction, Definitions, or Background sections.
NV Energy appreciates the opportunity to comment in the Western Power Pool’s (WPP) Business Practice Manual process and offers the following comments for consideration. NV Energy recommends that the Point to Point Limits (PTPL) file and the Point Limit (PL) file definition include the specific location where the document will be posted within the WPP website. The current definition does not clearly state where a participant or stakeholder can find the documents.
02: Please supply any comments related to the Sharing Calculation Run (3).
No response submitted.
03: Please supply any comments related to the Confirmation of Need for Holdback Capacity (4).
No response submitted.
04: Please supply any comments related to the Voluntary Offers section (5).
Section 5 does not clearly state what excess supply is not obligated to the WRAP. Therefore, NV Energy proposes that WPP add a formal definition for voluntary offers or add in additional detail that clearly demonstrates what capacity is considered excess supply that may be offered into the program as a voluntary offer.

09: Please supply any comments related to the Bilateral Transfer of Holdback section (7).
No response submitted.
10: Please supply any comments related to the Release of Capacity section (8).
NV Energy proposes that Section 8 use the term surplus rather than the term holdback. Section 8 identifies instances where surplus could be released and may not be necessary for holdback for another program participant. As it is currently written, section 8 could be interpreted that the holdback that has been claimed from a deficient participant as outlined in section 4 could lose this claim for the reasons stated in section 8.
