Random NAESB Stuff

Removing the LSE and PSE FunctionsNERC convinced FERC to remove the Load-

Serving Entities and Purchasing-Selling Entities from the reliability registration.

SO, what happens with INT-004-3, R1 & R2 and with INT-011-1 that is a direct result of the FERC directive (to the ERO)?
