SCHEDULE 3—INTERCONNECTION PROCESS,TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS,AND OPERATING PROCEDURES
<br /> An equipment package shall be considered certified for interconnected operation if it has
<br /> been submitted by a manufacture, tested and listed by a nationally recognized testing
<br /> and certification laboratory(NRTL)for continuous utility interactive operation in
<br /> compliance with the applicable codes and standards. Presently generation paralleling
<br /> equipment that is listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory as having met the
<br /> applicable type-testing requirements of UL 1741 and IEEE 929 shall be acceptable for
<br /> interconnection without additional protection system requirements.An "equipment
<br /> package"shall include all interface components including switchgear, inverters, or other
<br /> interface devices and may include an integrated generator or electric source. If the
<br /> equipment package has been tested and listed as an integrated package which includes
<br /> a generator or other electric source, it shall not require further design review, testing or
<br /> additional equipment to meet the certification requirements for interconnection. If the
<br /> equipment package includes only the interface components (switchgear, inverters, or
<br /> other interface devices), then the Interconnection Customer shall show that the generator
<br /> or other electric source being utilized with the equipment package is compatible with the
<br /> equipment package and consistent with the testing and listing specified for the package.
<br /> Provided the generator or electric source combined with the equipment package is
<br /> consistent with the testing ad listing performed by the nationally recognized testing and
<br /> certification laboratory, no further design review, testing or additional equipment shall be
<br /> required to meet the certification requirements of this interconnection procedure.A
<br /> certified equipment package does not include equipment provided by the Area EPS.
<br /> The use of Pre-Certified equipment does not automatically qualify the Interconnection
<br /> Customer to be interconnected to the Area EPS. An application will still need to be
<br /> submitted and an interconnection review may still need to be performed, to determine the
<br /> compatibility of the Generation System with the Area EPS.
<br /> H) Confidential Information
<br /> Except as otherwise agreed, each Party shall hold in confidence and shall not disclose
<br /> confidential information, to any person (except employees, officers, representatives and
<br /> agents, who agree to be bound by this section). Confidential information shall be clearly
<br /> marked as such on each page or otherwise affirmatively identified. If a court, government
<br /> agency or entity with the right, power, and authority to do so, requests or requires either
<br /> Party, by subpoena, oral disposition, interrogatories, requests for production of
<br /> documents, administrative order, or otherwise, to disclose Confidential Information, that
<br /> Party shall provide the other Party with prompt notice of such request(s) or
<br /> requirements(s) so that the other Party may seek an appropriate protective order or
<br /> waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the absence of a protective order
<br /> or waiver the Party shall disclose such confidential information which, in the opinion of its
<br /> counsel, the party is legally compelled to disclose. Each Party will use reasonable efforts
<br /> to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any confidential
<br /> information so furnished.
<br /> I) Non-Warranty.
<br /> Neither by inspection, if any, or non-rejection, nor in any other way, does the Area EPS
<br /> Operator give any warranty, expressed or implied, as to the adequacy, safety, or other
<br /> characteristics of any structures, equipment, wires, appliances or devices owned,
<br /> installed or maintained by the Applicant or leased by the Applicant from third parties,
<br /> including without limitation the Generation System and any structures, equipment, wires,
<br /> appliances or devices pertinent thereto.
