Under Discussion as of April 1, 2000 |

| Notes: • Creation of regional transmission organizations (RTOs) is currently under rapid development. Under Order 2000, utilities not currently members of an approved ISO must submit plans to join an RTO by October 2000. Utilities that are members of an ISO must submit plans to form an RTO by January 2001. • MAPP and the Midwest ISO have reached an agreement to merge operations. Mountain West is an independent system administrator which is considered an interim organization in a broader regional transition plan.
