(a) the basis for the proposed SAIDI and SAIFI values; and

(b) identification of systems and description of internal processes to collect, monitor and analyze interruption data and events including:

(i) definitions of all parameters used to calculate the proposed standards and major event days, and the time-period upon which the proposed standards are based (e.g., 12-month rolling average, 365-day rolling average, annual average);

(ii) identification of all proposed deviations from IEEE 1366 used in the calculation of reliability indices and determination of major event days; and

(iii) a description of all data estimation methods used for the collection and calculation of SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, and MAIFIe.
