Business Practice Manuals

The California ISO (ISO) Business Practice Manuals (BPMs) contain implementation detail, consistent with and supported by the ISO tariff, including: instructions, rules, procedures, examples, and guidelines for the administration, operation, planning, and accounting requirements of the ISO and the markets. Adherence to the BPMs is important for orderly operation of the ISO markets. The ISO systematic and publicly transparent BPM Change Management process ensures the consideration of all relevant information when modifying BPMs. The change management process uses a system available through the ISO public website that provides a way to propose BPM changes, comment on open change requests, and track proposed change requests.  The change management process begins when the ISO or a stakeholder submits a web-based Proposed Revision Request (PRR). After an ISO review for completeness, PRRs are posted to the website, triggering a stakeholder review and comment period.
