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.

Key Order 890 Requirements
Order 890 provided substantial guidance on treatment of a Designated Network Resource (DNR):
• Qualifications for a DNR• Attestation of DNR to be submitted through OASIS
with each request to designate a new network resource
• Temporary and Permanent Termination of a DNR• Concomitant evaluation of a request for temporary
undesignation of a DNR and a related request for transmission service

pro forma OATT (link)
• Part III governs Network Integration Transmission Service (NITS)
• Section 29.2 governs the application process– Application on OASIS– Customer identification and eligibility– Network Load information– Network Resource information & attestation– Identification of customer-owned transmission– Term of service and customer attestation
04/10/23 7NITS on OASIS Informal Comments
pro forma OATT (continued)
• Section 30: Network Resources– Rules for designation of a new network resource
(Section 30.2)– Termination of Network Resources (Section 30.3)
• Indefinite Termination• Temporary Termination• Evaluation of Temporary Termination concomitantly
with related service requests
• Section 31: Designation of Network Load
04/10/23 8NITS on OASIS Informal Comments
NAESB NITS Recommendation• Application for Network Service placed on OASIS• Transactions (loads, DNRs, non-designated
resources) handled on OASIS on a customer-by-customer basis
• Optional provision for tracking scheduling rights• Customer may assign agent(s) to administer
OASIS transactions• New process facilitate handling of concomitant
evaluation of a single undesignation coupled with a single request for service

Technical Changes
• Pre-submittal work space will permit a customer to assemble information prior to official submittal (queuing) of request
• New templates – none of the existing templates are used for NITS (See WEQ-002)– XML templates instead of CSV– Different structure for making request

Key to WEQ-002 Data Template elements used in this Process Map:
Templates use a nested hierarchy. As shown in Example A below, to use a DATA template, a specific INPUT and REQUEST template must also be referenced. Hence, the scenarios here show the first three levels of the hierarchy.

Example B:
In Example B below, the INPUT template is NewNITSRequest, the REQUEST template is NewNITSApplication, and the DATA templates are NITSService, NITSCustomer, and NITSAgent.
