AEMO has completed a consultation on the proposed Election Procedures and Operating Manual for the Operational Transportation Service Code Panel (the Panel).
The Panel will support the recently developed Pipeline Capacity Trading market by consulting on, and proposing changes to, the Operational Transportation Service Code (the Code).

In addition, the Procedures describes the processes by which AEMO must call for preliminary and ongoing nominations for Panel members, the process by which votes will be counted, and administrative requirements of the Panel.
This consultation was conducted under the standard consultative procedure described in Rule 8 of the National Gas Rules.
