another entity if all of the following conditions are met:
(a) The engine is dispatched by the local balancing
authority or local transmission and distribution system
operator;
(b) The dispatch is intended to mitigate local transmission
and/or distribution limitations so as to avert potential voltage
collapse or line overloads that could lead to the interruption of
power supply in a local area or region;

public utility commission or local standards or guidelines;
(d) The power is provided only to the facility itself or to
support the local transmission and distribution system; and
(e) The Permittee identifies and records the entity that
dispatches the engine and the specific NERC,regional, state,
public utility commission or local standards or guidelines that
are being followed for dispatching the engine. The local
balancing authority or local transmission and distribution

emergency engine does not meet the standards applicable to non-emergency
engines in the applicable model year,the Permittee shall keep records of the
operation of the engine in emergency and non-emergency service that are
recorded through the non-resettable hour meter. The Permittee shall record
the time of operation of the engine and the reason the engine was in operation
during that time. [60.4214(b)]
