Program indicating that Transmission Availability Tests and
Distribution Availability Tests would commence on October 18, 2010

December 1, 2009 and June 4, 2010. The results of such tests
are intended to be released in late November 2010. The

Economic Connection Test. The OPA intends to post an update
