February 11, 2011

Thank you for volunteering to test the new Online Outage Request Form.

Testing will begin on February 17th, 2011, and continue until February 24th, 2011 (5 business days). A conference call will be held prior to this on February 16th, 2011, at 2:00pm (agenda and instructions attached) to provide an opportunity for volunteers to ask questions about the test processes and procedures.

Participants are encouraged to review the "Online Outage Request Form: Step-by-Step Guide" (attached) prior to the conference call.
