02: Please supply any comments related to the Application and Registration section (2).

In this section in the 2nd sentence it would be best to also indicate that the WRAPA signing period is no sooner that August 15th and no later than September 15th. APS believes that the New Participant Limited Data Request also needs to include load values, and not just values to inform approximated QCC values so that the Program Operator can provide a load requirement to the New Participant. Is it worth having a 2nd path to participation than the one in Table 1, the 2nd path would have the Participant starting at the Advance Assessment so that no class average QCC’s are needed? In Table 2, our math would put the Summer FS Deadline on October 31st, 2026 and not 2027. The showing would be for Summer 2027 we think but the year it is submitted is 2026.

03: Please supply any comments related to the Application and Registration - Election of Transition Binding Seasons section (2.1).

This section could be improved by using effective dates of WRAPA consistent with the above sections instead of execution. It is also probably helpful to say that the effective date past September 15th, 2026 will commence its first binding season after the Transition Period since the window to sign up closes in September there isn’t a way to have a WRAP effective after that date.

10: Please supply any comments related to the WRAP Program Implementation section (4).

Is there more information about the modeling assumptions that a new Participant needs to elect that can be added while still pointing to the PTSO? Is this for sub-region election?
