Overview
OASIS was developed initially to facilitate submission of Point-to-Point requests and to document the approval process. In Order 890, FERC decided that transmission providers and network customers should use OASIS to request designation of new network resources and to terminate designation of network resources. NAESB was given the responsibility for designing new templates.
