· Section 6.5.12(7)(e): Stating that EILS Self-Provision does not require a MW price.
· Section 6.5.12(7)(i): Requiring NOIEs to inform ERCOT of the Maximum amount of EILS Self-Provision they are willing to provide.
· Section 6.5.12(7)(j): Allowing NOIEs the option of bidding into the EILS program in the same manner as other loads.
· Section 6.5.12(8): Requiring ERCOT to reduce its EILS Budget by the amount of EILS that is Self-Provided.
· Section 6.5.12(13): Stating that EILS Self-Provision does not involve payment by ERCOT to NOIEs.

· Section 6.9.4: Adding EILS to Settlement Obligations.

Reason:
To allow for NOIE Self-Provision of their load ratio share of EILS responsibility, consistent with PUC Subst. R. 25.507.
