  ...Language that reconsiders use of double-circuit contingencies during emergency operations based on Grid conditions [ERCOT]Language Review (ROS assignment to review duplicate language with NPRR642) To recommend approval and discuss fixing the duplicative language at a later point.  Duplicate language was requested in ROS.
