Data Gathering• Data Gathering and Registration establishes which

transmission services are eligible to participate in the ARR/FTR Allocation

• Data evaluation is based on a Reference Year– Reference Year is the year that is used by MISO to determine the

initial ARR Zones and ARR Entitlements• Establishes a qualified set of ARR Points of Delivery (sinks)

and Resources (sources)– Determines ARR Zones and Reserved Source Points (RSP)– Determines which RSP are Baseload (BRSS) and which are Peak

(PRSS)
