Options Analysis. The infrastructure for existing SMETS1 meters has developed organically without a unified communications standard and often independently, to meet energy suppliers’ own requirements, according to their own business needs. As such, meters installed by one supplier are not always compatible with another suppliers’ system and could lose functionality or require replacement when consumers switch supplier. The Government believes that there are important shared benefits for industry and consumers from the enrolment of SMETS1 meters into the DCC. In particular, the enablement of more efficient and effective switching for customers, as a gaining supplier will be able to access the smart meter functionality should a consumer switch suppliers. Consequently this should reduce the risk of SMETS1 meters being replaced before the end of their operating lives. In order to achieve the objective of maximising the benefits of smart metering, the Government has requested the DCC to carry out a study of feasible options for the enrolment of SMETS1 meters. Section N of the SEC required the DCC to produce an IEPFR relating to the enrolment of SMETS1 meters and to consult parties on the content of the draft report. In identifying feasible options for the provision by the DCC of a SMETS1 service, the DCC took as its starting point the existing multiple technical solutions and systems that have developed to support SMETS1 meters, and considered how technical and commercial arrangements could be structured to enable the provision of a DCC SMETS1 service. The DCC’s objective is to identify feasible options that whilst technically effective, commercially efficient and secure, are delivered for a reasonable cost and within reasonable timeframes. Integration path covers the means by which the DCC can communicate with SMETS1 meters to enable it to first enrol the meters and then send commands to and receive messages from enrolled SMETS1 meters. A range of potential integration path options have been considered as part of consultation with the industry (see Appendix 2 of this Schedule 2). In order to provide a DCC SMETS1 Service, the DCC needs to establish communication with SMETS1 meters such that (on an on-going basis) the DCC can provide the SMETS1 communication services in respect of the SMETS1 meter. There are a number of options for how the DCC might technically communicate (via integration) with a SMETS1 meter, which are set out and evaluated below. ‘Integration path’ is the term...

If the Custodian is unable to provide a Risk Analysis with respect to a particular Securities Depository, it will notify the Fund. If a new Securities Depository commences operation in one of the Appendix B countries, the Custodian will provide the Fund with a Risk Analysis in a reasonably practicable time after such Securities Depository becomes operational. If a new country is added to Appendix B, the Custodian will provide the Fund with a Risk Analysis with respect to each Securities Depository in that country within a reasonably practicable time after the addition of the country to Appendix B.

  • Quantitative Analysis Quantitative analysts develop and apply financial models designed to enable equity portfolio managers and fundamental analysts to screen potential and current investments, assess relative risk and enhance performance relative to benchmarks and peers. To the extent that such services are to be provided with respect to any Account which is a registered investment company, Categories 3, 4 and 5 above shall be treated as “investment advisory services” for purposes of Section 5(b) of the Agreement.”

  • Sampling and Analysis The sampling and analysis of the coal delivered hereunder shall be performed by Buyer upon delivery of the coal to Buyer’s facility, and the results thereof shall be accepted and used as defining the quality and characteristics of the coal delivered under this Agreement and as the Payment Analysis. All analyses shall be made in Buyer’s laboratory at Buyer’s expense in accordance with ASTM standards where applicable, or industry-accepted standards in other cases. Samples for analyses shall be taken in accordance with ASTM standards or other methods mutually acceptable to both parties. Seller shall transmit its “as loaded” quality analysis to Buyer as soon as possible. Seller’s “as-loaded” quality shall be the Payment Analysis only when Buyer’s sampler and/or scales are inoperable, or if Buyer fails to obtain a sample upon unloading. Seller represents that it is familiar with Buyer’s sampling and analysis practices, and that it finds them to be acceptable. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any significant changes in Buyer’s sampling and analysis practices. Any such changes in Buyer’s sampling and analysis practices shall, except for ASTM or industry-accepted changes in practices, provide for no less accuracy than the sampling and analysis practices existing at the tune of the execution of this Agreement, unless the Parties otherwise mutually agree. Each sample taken by Buyer shall be divided into four (4) parts and put into airtight containers, properly labeled and sealed. One (1) part shall be used for analysis by Buyer. One (1) part shall be used by Buyer as a check sample, if Buyer in its sole judgment determines it is necessary. One (1) part shall be retained by Buyer until thirty (30) days after the sample is taken (“Disposal Date”), and shall be delivered to Seller for analysis if Seller so requests before the Disposal Date. One (1) part (the “Referee Sample”) shall be retained by Buyer until the Disposal Date. Seller shall be given copies of all analyses made by Buyer by the fifth (5th) business day of the month following the month of unloading. In addition, Buyer shall send Seller weekly analyses of coal unloaded at Buyer’s facilities. Seller, on reasonable notice to Buyer, shall have the right to have a representative present to observe the sampling and analyses performed by Buyer. Unless Seller requests an analysis of the Referee Sample before the Disposal Date, Buyer’s analysis shall be used to determine the quality of the coal delivered hereunder and shall be the Payment Analysis. The Monthly Weighted Averages of specifications referenced in §6.1 shall be based on the individual Shipment analyses. If any dispute arises with regard to the analysis of any sample before the Disposal Date for such sample, the Referee Sample retained by Buyer shall be submitted for analysis to an independent commercial testing laboratory (“Independent Lab”) mutually chosen by Buyer and Seller. For each coal quality specification in question, if the analysis of the Independent Lab differs by more than the applicable ASTM reproducibility standards, the Independent Lab results will govern, and the prior analysis shall be disregarded. All testing of the Referee Sample by the Independent Lab shall be at requestor’s expense unless the Independent Lab results differ from the original Payment Analysis for any specification by more than the applicable ASTM reproducibility standards as to that specification. In such case, the cost of the analysis made by the Independent Lab shall be borne by the party who provided the original Payment Analysis.

  • Escrow Analysis If applicable, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller has within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was originated within such twelve month period) analyzed the required Escrow Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted the amount of such payments so that, assuming all required payments are timely made, any deficiency will be eliminated on or before the first anniversary of such analysis, or any overage will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in accordance with RESPA and any other applicable law;
