In light of Order No. 743’s directives, the emphasis on the newly-established NERC BES definition process, and the uncertainty regarding the need to finish the WECC standard development process for a WECC BES definition, the BESDTF has not developed a detailed response to comments on Proposal 5.  While not a full substitute for a detailed response to comments, Appendix B explains the BESDTF’s rationale for the principles in Proposal 6.   Should the BESDTF proceed with finalizing a WECC BES definition through the WECC standard development process, the BESDTF will reconsider providing a detailed response to comments.
