Period must be disclosed to the ISO one (1) hour prior to the start of the Settlement Period.
SBP 5.1	Content of Ancillary Services Schedules and Bids
Ancillary Services in the Day-Ahead Market and the Hour-Ahead Market are comprised of the following:  Regulation, Spinning Reserve, Non-Spinning Reserve and Replacement Reserve.  Each Generating Unit, System Unit, Curtailable Demand or external import for which a SC wishes to submit Ancillary Services Schedules and bids must meet the requirements set forth in the Ancillary Services Requirements Protocol (ASRP).  For each Ancillary Service offered to the ISO auction or self-provided, SCs must include a bid price for Energy in the form of a staircase function composed of up to eleven (11) ordered pairs (i.e., ten (10) steps or price bands) of quantity/price information.  These staircase functions must be either monotonically non-decreasing (Generating Units, System Units, and external imports  of System Resources) or monotonically non-increasing (Curtailable Demands ).  The same resource capacity may be offered into more than one ISO Ancillary Service auction at the same time (the sequential evaluation of such multiple offers between Ancillary Services markets to eliminate double counting of capacity is described in the SP).  In each category of Ancillary Service, the reference to “Revised” types of Schedules indicates a submittal which is part of a Revised Day-Ahead Schedule as described in the SP.  Each of the following data sections can be submitted up to seven (7) days in advance.  There is no provision for external exports with regard to Ancillary Services bids, .  The functionality necessary to accept such bids does not exist in the ISO scheduling software.

SBP 5.2	Validation of Ancillary Services Bids
The ISO will verify that each Ancillary Services Schedule or bid conforms to the format specified for the relevant service.  If the Ancillary Services Schedule or bid does not so conform, the ISO will send a notification to the SC notifying the SC of the errors in the Schedules and/or bids.  SCs will comply with the ISO Data Templates and Validation Rules document, which contains the validation criteria for Ancillary Services Schedules and bids.  Shown below are the two stages of validation carried out by the ISO: 
SBP 5.2.1	Stage One Validation
During stage one validation, each incoming Ancillary Services schedule or bid will be validated to verify proper content, format and syntax.  A technical validation will be performed to verify that a schedule or bid quantity of Regulation, Spinning Reserve, Non-Spinning Reserve or Replacement Reserve does not exceed the available capacity for Regulation, Operating Reserves and Replacement Reserve on the Generating Units, System Units, Curtailable Demands and external imports/exports scheduled or bid.  The SC will be notified immediately through WEnet of any validation errors.  For each error detected, an error message will be generated by the ISO in the SC’s notification screen which will specify the nature of the error.  The SC can then look at the notification messages to review the detailed list of errors, make changes, and resubmit if it is still within the timing requirements of the SP.  The SC is also notified of successful validation via WEnet.
SBP 5.2.2	Stage Two Validation
Stage two validation will be conducted by the ISO in accordance with Appendix E of the ISO Tariff.
