formal applications conforming to the procedures in the Dates Section
above. Eligibility and allocation criteria are defined in the Marketing

Existing customers' conditional resource extension percentages are
listed in the Marketing Plan. Existing customers do not need to submit
applications for resource extensions. However, if an existing customer
wishes to apply for a new allocation of power in addition to its
resource extension, it must meet the eligibility criteria and submit an
application.
