1.

An EGS providing advanced metering service may request an adjustment to the meter reading schedule for an account which it meters and select from an existing PPL defined meter reading route. On January 1, 1999, PPL will accommodate an EGS specified meter reading schedule for Rate Schedules LP4, LP5, LP6, LPEP, IST, ISP, ISA, PR-1, and PR-2. By the end of the second quarter 1999 PPL will accommodate EGS specified meter-reading schedules for its remaining rate schedules. The EGS must ask the Customer whether the Customer consents to the switch in meter reading schedule. The EGS must retain a record indicating the customer has consented to this change. If the record is not itself a hard copy document, but rather an electronic or computer record, the EGS must be able to print or otherwise reproduce the record in hard copy upon request.

2.

All data collected by an EGS providing advanced metering service, which is required by PPL for billing and distribution service operation, shall be transmitted electronically consistent with the data transfer procedures established by the Electronic Data Exchange Working Group Standards and the Data Transfer Schedule.

3.

If PPL is providing the metering service and the EGS is providing the customer with a consolidated EGS bill, all metering data which is required by the EGS for billing shall be transmitted electronically to the EGS consistent with the data transfer procedures established by the Electronic Data Exchange Working Group Standards and the Data Transfer Schedule.

4.

Any authorized party that is providing advanced metering is responsible for the safe installation, maintenance, authorized operation, the accuracy of such advanced metering, and for resolving theft of service issues. In the case of theft of service, the party that discovers a theft of service condition will notify the other party within five-business days.

5.

Any party providing advanced metering service is required to keep the most recent 12 months of customer consumption data for each metered customer. Such data must be retained for a period of 36 months. Such data must be released on request to the customer or, if authorized by the customer, to any EGS or to PPL.
