(a) The transmission organization shall hold and administer a commission-approved nondiscriminatory open access transmission tariff for the backbone transmission system.

(b) The transmission organization shall file with the commission a nondiscriminatory open access transmission tariff consistent with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission standards to remove impediments to competition in the wholesale bulk power marketplace in the state.

(c) The nondiscriminatory open access transmission tariff must, as approved by the commission,

(1) pool backbone transmission system costs and allocate those costs through certificated load-serving entities on a coincident peak or load ratio share basis, or a combination of both; and

(2) account for

(A) required backbone transmission system ancillary services;

(B) backbone transmission system congestion;

(C) disruptions to the backbone transmission system that result in the isolation of one geographical area of the backbone transmission system from another for more than 24 hours; and
