  2. Title 17

A. If the Southwest Power Pool has approved a local electric

transmission facility in a Southwest Power Pool transmission plan

and has formally directed the incumbent electric transmission owner

or owners, if there is more than one owner, to construct, own and

maintain the local electric transmission facility, the incumbent

electric transmission owner or owners shall give notice to the

Southwest Power Pool, in writing, within ninety (90) days of receipt

of the direction to construct by the Southwest Power Pool, regarding

its intent to construct, own and maintain the local electric

transmission facility. If notice is not provided, the incumbent

electric transmission owner shall surrender its right to construct,

own and maintain the local electric transmission facility.

B. If an incumbent electric transmission owner or owners give

notice of intent not to construct the local electric transmission

facility or fail to provide notice as required in subsection A of

this section, then the Southwest Power Pool may determine whether

the incumbent electric transmission owner or owners or other entity

will construct, own and maintain the local electric transmission

facility.

C. Nothing in this section is intended to limit the ability of

any person to notify the Southwest Power Pool that it believes an

incumbent electric transmission owner with the right to construct,

own and maintain a local electric transmission facility originally

approved by the Southwest Power Pool has failed to exercise its

right to construct, own and maintain the local electric transmission

facility within a reasonable period of time and request that the

Southwest Power Pool rescind the right to construct, own and

maintain the local electric transmission facility and assign the

rights to another incumbent electric transmission owner.
