The Level 3 review shall be conducted in accordance with
					 the following process:
1. An EU shall,
				  within 10 business days of receipt of an Interconnection Request, inform the
				  Interconnection Customer in writing or by electronic means that the
				  Interconnection Request is complete or incomplete and indicate what, if any,
				  materials are missing.
2. When the
				  Interconnection Request is deemed not complete, the EU shall provide the
				  Interconnection Customer with a written list detailing information required to
				  complete the Interconnection Request. The Interconnection Customer shall have
				  10 business days to provide appropriate data in order to complete the
				  Interconnection Request, or the Interconnection Request shall be considered
				  withdrawn. The parties may agree to extend the time for receipt of the
				  additional information. The Interconnection Request shall be deemed complete
				  when the required information has been provided by the Interconnection
				  Customer, or the parties have agreed that the Interconnection Customer may
				  provide additional information at a later time.
3. When an Interconnection Request is
				  complete, the EU shall assign a Queue Position. The Queue Position of an
				  Interconnection Request shall be used to determine the cost responsibility
				  necessary for the facilities to accommodate the interconnection. The EU shall
				  notify the Interconnection Customer about other higher-queued Interconnection
				  Customers that have the potential to impact the cost responsibility.

				  Meeting shall be held within 10 business days, or other mutually agreed to
				  time, after the EU has notified the Interconnection Customer that the

				  to review the Interconnection Request, existing studies relevant to the
				  Interconnection Request, and the results of the Level 1 or Level 2 screening
				  criteria;

				  at a Scoping Meeting that an interconnection Feasibility Study shall be
				  performed, the EU shall provide to the Interconnection Customer, no later than
				  5 business days after the Scoping Meeting, an interconnection Feasibility Study
				  agreement, including an outline of the scope of the study and a nonbinding good
				  faith estimate of the cost to perform the study;

				  Meeting that an interconnection Feasibility Study is not required, the EU shall
				  provide to the Interconnection Customer, no later than 5 business days after
				  the Scoping Meeting, an interconnection System Impact Study agreement,
				  including an outline of the scope of the study and a nonbinding good faith
				  estimate of the cost to perform the study; and

				  Meeting that an interconnection Feasibility Study and System Impact Study are
