Agenda Item 3 RR 305 ATT O and BP 7060 Clarification Caitlin Shank, Engineer II, Transmission Services, presented RR 305 which represents a modification to SPP OATT Attachment O and Business Practice The BPWG reviewed this item at their July 2018 meeting, but took no action as the RTWG was the Primary Working Group. RR 305 has been previously approved by the RTWG, SAWG, RCWG, TWG, ORWG and will go before the PCWG on 9/5/2018. Ms. Shank noted that there were no material changes in RR 305 since the BPWG initially performed its review. Motion to Approve RR 305 Attachment O and BP 7060 Clarification made by Tom Hestermann (SECI. Second provided by Kass Portra (WAPA). Motion carried with one objection from OGE. Chairman Wilkerson asked that OGE forward the basis of their objection to Secretary Quimby for posting. Agenda item 4 RR 262 Attachment AQ Business Practice 1

5 Mr. Joshua Ross, Sr. Engineer Transmission Services, presented RR 262 as a discussion item only. RR 262 has both a tariff portion and a practice portion and Mr. Ross detailed each portion. Discussion ensued seeking clarification. Comments from KepCo questioned the concept of expediting an expedition and NPPD expressed numerous concerns. As the RTWG is noted as the Primary Working Group, on the basis of RR 262 containing a tariff revision, the RTWG is to review RR 262 the following day, August 23, Upon final determination of RR262 by the RTWG the BPWG will revisit this issue. Agenda Item 5 RR 320 Definition of Material Modification for Network Upgrades and Transmission Interconnection Micha Bailey, Sr. Technical Analyst Transmission Services, presented RR 320 as a discussion item and provided general background for this request. Mr. Bailey noted that this item was to be reviewed by the RTWG the following day, August 23, He noted that the RTWG may desire that this definition be treated as a tariff modification instead of a Business Practice. Should this occur, RR 320 would be withdrawn. Mr. Bailey will advise the BPWG of RR320 s progress. Agenda Item 6 RR 319 MIS over Miles City Tie Kass Portra, WAPA, reviewed RR 319 with the group. This external RR was submitted by WAPA in March of SPP management requested that they hold it in abeyance until SPP had received an official ruling on the existence of MIS. SPP received said FERC approval and RR 319 was brought back for BPWG review. Given the posting deadlines, RR 319 required a vote to expedite in order to be submitted for approval at the August meeting. Motion to expedite RR 319 made by Tom Hestermann (SECI). Second provided by Rob Jones (GRDA). Motion passed with no objections and no abstentions. Motion to accept RR 319 made by Tom Hestermann (SECI). Second provided by Anthony Lemaire (TNSK). Motion passed with one objection from Jim Hotovy (NPPD). Mr Hotovy noted that his objection was not specifically to RR 319, but to the existence of MIS in general. There were no abstentions. Agenda Item 7 RR 313 Seams Transmission Clint Savoy, Sr. Interregional Coordinator, Interregional Relations briefed the group on RR 313. The RTWG had reviewed RR 313 since the July BPWG and provided some comments. However, these comments were not provided to Mr. Savoy in the form of official communication or redlines. There was additional discussion at the RTWG to potentially combine RR 308 [the attendant tariff change] and RR 313. The BPWG advised that this not be done. Mr. Savoy will contact the RTWG to define their recommendations and position on potential conflicts within RR 313. Action item: Mr. Savoy to determine specific revisions and concerns identified by the RTWG and report at the September BPWG meeting. Agenda Item 8 RRXXX Non-Firm Daily Timing Att P Secretary Quimby presented background on a proposed RR that has not been posted at the time of this meeting. This RR will be a tariff change, but at it involves transmission service request submission timing, it was beneficial to alert the BPWG. RR 88, which passed the stakeholder process and FERC approval, moved the time of day of release of un-scheduled Firm into the Non-Firm market for the next 2

6 day from 12:00 Noon to 10:00 am. This time change was implemented on 10 July At that time, it was noted that when the changes to Attachment P were defined in RR 88, the time change for Non-Firm Daily was overlooked. This RR will correct that oversight, moving the no later than submission time for Daily Non-Firm products to 10 am. Once vetted internally, this RR will go to the RTWG and TWG for approval. Agenda Item 9 Multi BP clean-up Secretary Quimby noted that this RR, once approved for posting, will clean-up a number of the interchange related Business Practices and bring them in line with current operations. No materials changes are included in the proposed RR. This RR is planned for BPWG review at the September meeting. Agenda Item 10 MIS usage Jim Hotovy (NPPD) presented July 2018 data regarding the number of requests for MIS. Secretary Quimby noted that he had begun some additional work to identify the actual energy flow represented by those requests, to better define the landscape.
