Comparison of Real Time flowgate flow versus calculated impact on the flowgate by GTL.
Comparison of GTL calculated Market GTL impacts versus those Market Flows calculated by the market entities.
CO 322 (Generation Priority Submission) is evaluated and will be developed once a BPS solution is finalized.

14. IDCWG /BPS Outstanding Items
BPS to categorize its audience for the purpose of viewing reliability metrics (CO 326)
With all the real time data being used for curtailments, is there a discussion about making TLR process run more than just once an hour?
On CO 322 (Generation Priority Submission), it is assumed that only RC or BA will submit the priorities. Is there a need to design the registration process on more granular level (TO, GO, etc…)?
