Mos= t of PacifiCorp's Merchant tags that moved energy from CA to CA at a genera= tor bus already used the term "NOR". In our attempts to improve the checko= ut process so we could see our Merchant's schedules by tag I requested a so= ftware change to allow us to start scheduling his tags that contained the A= Ref value of "NOR" (No Oasis Required). We then asked him to continue to u= se it and requested that he inform all those he did business with to also u= se it on our line so we could schedule against it. I was not thinking abou= t nor remembered Business Practice #11 at the time we implemented this and = didn't realize it would be an issue. Since the notification, I did some re= search and found that no standard is being used for the use of "Single Bus"= . 18 were "single buss", 8 were "single bus", 6 were "singlebus". I have = made the attached programming change to comply with Business Practice rule = and I believe that Mark is going to send a notice to everybody that the rul= e needs to be followed as written. I apologize for the inconvenience, it= was not intentional. We will accept all tags that properly use "Single B= us".
