Attention IT and Scheduling Personnel
Your participation is requested in the Transmission Constrained Unit

As previously announced, the ISO has scheduled for month of June 2002 the
implementation of the Transmission Constrained Unit Commitment (TCUC) and
Minimum Load Cost Compensation (MLCC) programs.  Prior to this
implementation, a Market Simulation is being scheduled for all Market
Participants in order to provide for simulation on the use of this new
functionality.  

Transmission Constrained Unit Commitment /  Minimum Load Cost Compensation
Market Simulation is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 20, 2002.

The ISO will hold an kickoff meeting conference call on Tuesday, May 14 from
10:00 - 11:00 A.M., to elicit participation and review the scope of this

All Market Participants with Resource which fall under the Must Offer
