Application:

Initial application for access to the registry will require valid contact information for the Entity, Applicant, and the applicant’s Manager. The Applicant’s selected User Name must be unique across the entire EIR. A valid digital certificate from an NAESB recognized Certificate Authority (CA) must be presented at the time of application submission. NAESB maintains a list of independent list of certificate authorities under their NAESB Certification Program. (http://www.naesb.org/materials/certification.asp)

Entity:

Upon approval of an application for registration, the Entity registration application form will be available for submission of an Entity registration. An Entity Code-Role pair (BA, TSP, PSE, etc.) must be completed in parallel with the Entity Registration. After both Entity and initial Code-Role pair are approved, the Entity Administrator can create additional Code-Role pairs and data objects. Attachment 1 provides the guidelines for the approval process. Minimum Data Required

Entity Code-Role Pairs

Minimum Data Required

Payment/Renewals:

After the initial registration, each entity will be given a thirty (30) day Grace Period to fulfill its payment obligations. The initial registration fee as set by NAESB is $250 per entity Code-Role.

The Registry Renewal Deadline is one year after the successful payment date for any entity’s first approved Entity/Role. All other subsequent Entity/Role payments will be prorated to that entity’s Registry Renewal Deadline. The renewal fee as set by NAESB is $150 per entity Code-Role.

Sixty (60) days prior to an entity’s Registry Renewal Deadline, the EIR will notify the entity that it has entered its payment Grace Period and may renew its Entity/Role registrations. Prior to the start of the payment Grace Period, the entity can not renew any of its Entity/Role registrations.

If an entity has not completed renewals for all its Entity/Roles by the Payment Renewal Deadline, it will be placed into the payment Probation Period for thirty (30) days. During the payment Probation Period, the entity’s registry information will continue to be published. In addition, the entity will continue to have all rights and privileges within the EIR (e.g., ability to add, modify, and delete objects, etc.) throughout the Probation Period. The entity may complete the required renewals at any time during the Probation Period without penalty.

If an entity has not completed renewals for all its Entity/Roles by the end of the Probation Period, it shall be placed into the Delinquent Period for ninety (90) days. During this time the entity’s registration information will continue to be published, however, the entity will be unable to add, modify, or delete any of its registry information through-out the Delinquent Period. The entity may complete the required renewals at any time during the Delinquent Period and will be subject to a penalty charge based on the length of time in the entity’s Delinquent Period, the FERC interest rate, and the amount of unresolved funds.

If an entity has not completed renewals for all its Entity/Roles by the end of the Delinquent Period, it shall be placed into the Suspended Period for one hundred twenty (120) days. During this time the entity’s registration information will not be published, the entity will be unable to login into the EIR. Suspended entities must contact the EIR Administrator to make special payment arrangements including the penalty charge. Only after completing all remaining renewal and penalty payments, the EIR Administrator will reinstate the entity to active status.

If an entity has not completed renewals for all its Entity/Roles by the end of the one hundred twenty (120) day Suspension Period, the entity, its roles, and all other objects owned by that entity shall be removed from the EIR. The entity must re-register as a new entity should it wish to regain access to the EIR.

Publication:

Registry publications will be automated on a daily basis at 00:00 CPT. Automated registry publications will not be made during non-business days(Weekends and NERC holidays). Until the industry decides otherwise, the following formats will be available for download: Comma Separated Value (CSV), Microsoft Data Base (MDB), and eTensible Markup Language (XML).

Manual requests for publications can be directed to NAESB. Each manual request will be reviewed by NAESB and manual publication of the registry will be made at NAESB’s discretion. Each request should include entity name, primary contact information, pending changes, and reasoning for manual publication. Upon approval, NAESB will notify the ERO and all ASP’s the intended manual publication request and time for publication. After publication is complete, NAESB will notify the requesting entity that a new publication is available for download.
