Applicability of Large Load Reliability Requirements
The Transmission Customer taking Transmission Service on behalf of a Large Load shall 
be responsible for complying with each of the requirements of this Section 37A applicable to 
each Large Load it represents.
Except as set forth in Section 37A.II, all Large Load shall be subject to the Basic Facility 
Data, Modeling, Telemetry, Forecast Data, and Audit requirements set forth in Sections 37A.1 
through 37A.4 and section 37A.8 of the Tariff. 
Except as set forth in Section 37A.II, Computational Load, shall be subject to the Phasor 
Measurement Unit, Ride-Through and Ramp requirements set forth in Sections 37A.5 through 
37A.7 of the Tariff.  The Transmission Provider shall determine whether Computational Load is 
associated with a Large Load based on information provided by the Transmission Customer to 
the Transmission Provider for such purpose, as set forth in the Business Practices Manual for 
Large Load.
A Transmission Customer taking Transmission Service on behalf of a Large Load shall 
demonstrate its ability to effectuate compliance with each of the requirements of this Section 
37A.  The Transmission Customer shall provide the Transmission Provider with documentation 
necessary for the Transmission Provider to verify compliance with the requirements of this 
Section 37A.  Such documentation may include applicable agreement(s), if any, between the 
Transmission Customer and the entity or entities that own, operate or use the Large Load, or an 
attestation signed by an authorized officer of the Transmission Customer demonstrating that the 
Transmission Customer will be provided access to all information reasonably required to enable 
the Transmission Customer to comply with and for the requirements of this Section 37A,

including compliance with the terms of any operating protocols adopted by the Transmission 
Provider, Transmission Owner and/or the Transmission Customer for a specific Large Load.  
Failure to comply with the requirements established in this Section 37A may result in a 
delayed Service Commencement Date, a period of time needed for corrective action, operational 
limitations, or other remediation action(s) by Transmission Provider as may be necessary to 
maintain Transmission System reliability.  The process by which Transmission Provider will 
determine whether any such measures are appropriate, which may include the period of time 
during which corrective action must be undertaken, shall be as set forth in the Business Practices 
Manual for Large Load.
II.
Transition Provisions
1)
For purposes of these transition provisions, Load associated with a transmission 
project shall be defined as meeting the “MTEP/EPR Condition” if the project has 
either: (a) been approved by the Transmission Provider Board in MTEP 2026, or a 
prior MTEP; or, (b) been submitted to the Transmission Provider for Expedited 
Project Review (EPR) on or prior to June 18, 2026, in accordance with 
Attachment FF of the Tariff.
2)
A Transmission Customer taking Transmission Service on behalf of a Large Load 
shall ensure that all Large Load shall be subject to all the requirements as set forth 
in this Section 37A, provided that:
(a)
Fully Exempt Large Load:
A Large Load that has a Service Commencement Date on or prior to 
December 4, 2026, shall be exempt from all requirements set forth in this 
Section 37A with respect to the portion of the Large Load that has

or more in Transmission Service for such Load and with a Service 
Commencement Date after December 4, 2026, shall be subject to 
subsection (2)(b) below.
(b)
Partially Exempt Large Load:
(i) A Large Load, or a portion of a Large Load, that does not have a 
Service Commencement Date prior to December 4, 2026, but that meets 
the MTEP/EPR Condition as defined herein shall be subject to the 
requirements set forth in Sections 37A.1 through 37A.5 and Section 
37A.8, and shall be exempt from the requirements set forth in Sections 
37A.6 through 37A.7.
(ii) A Large Load, or a portion of Large Load, that does not have a Service 
Commencement Date prior to December 4, 2026, and that has not met the 
MTEP/EPR Condition but has submitted Load associated with a 
transmission project to the Transmission Provider for EPR on or after June 
19, 2026, but on or before October 31, 2026, shall be subject to all 
requirements set forth in this Section 37A, provided that Transmission 
Provider may waive the requirements set forth in Section 37A.6 based 
upon a determination that: a) exemption from such requirements would 
not have an adverse reliability impact; and, b) compliance with such 
requirements would result in significant costs.  The Business Practices

Notwithstanding any of the provisions above the Transmission Provider has the 
right to require compliance with any or all requirements of this Section 37A if the 
Transmission Provider determines that operation of a Large Load results in a 
material adverse effect on Transmission System reliability.  The process by which
