This information should be filed publicly. Similarly, Parts 4 and 5 contain generic criteria used in evaluating and testing the filer’s system. This generic information does not qualify as CEII and should be filed publicly.
- CEII - CEII is limited and includes engineering, security, and detailed design information about proposed or existing infrastructure. Information in Part 2 provides an electrical model and analysis of the filer’s actual transmission system. Part 3 provides detailed one-line diagrams and geographic location and identification of all system components.
