Effective Date Preference for New Block, Block Modification, and Block
Disconnect Requests

When submitting a new block request, block modification request or a block disconnect request in PAS, if an applicant has a specific effective date preference that they would like the Pooling Administrator (PA) to grant, the applicant must communicate this preference to the PA when completing the request in PAS.

Below are the fields provided in PAS where the user will communicate their effective date preference and what action the PA will take:
 

Request Expedited Treatment Set to “Yes” If the applicant marks “YES” for expedite only, the PA will use the expedited effective date that the user has entered on the Part 1A (no less than 8 business days or 9 calendar days) or, if the user left the 31 calendar days default date, then the PA will use an effective date of 8 business days or 9 calendar days, depending on the type of request* from the date of processing. Checkbox for Earliest Effective Date Selected If the applicant marks the checkbox for the earliest effective date only and leaves the default effective date, the PA will use an effective date of 24 calendar days from the date of processing per the TBPAG. Both Request Expedited Treatment Set to “Yes” and Checkbox for Earliest Effective Date Selected If the applicant marks “YES” for expedite and also marks the checkbox for earliest effective date and leaves the default effective date, the PA will use an effective date of either 8 business days or 9 calendar days from the date of processing. Requested Effective Date Field Modified If the applicant enters an effective date other than the default effective date, the PA will use the requested effective date as long as it meets the requirements in the TBPAG.

*Please review Section 8.6 of the TBPAG to review the expedite process.
