NOGRRs for review and language changes:

• 096NOGRR Clarification of RRS Obligation.  The Other Binding Document, Methodologies for Determining Ancillary Service Requirements, describes a process that may be used to procure additional Responsive Reserve Service (RRS).  This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) references that Other Binding Document and also adds clarifying language affirming that the minimum RRS obligation remains unchanged (2300 MW), but that additional RRS may be procured if there is a reliability need.

• 097NOGRR New Section 8I, Black Start Resource Availability Test Form.  This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) adds a Black Start Resource availability test form to the Nodal Operating Guide.  [ERCOT]  Impact Analysis Review

• 100NOGRR Extending Manual Time Error Correction Threshold.  This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) extends the manual time error correction threshold from +/- 3 seconds to +/- 30 seconds.
