16 Maximizing CEI Evaluating experience thus far Monitoring consistency of implementation across the ERO o Pre-filing review of FFTs o FFT sampling Identifying improvements going forward Incorporating enhancements to bring additional benefits o Simpler tracking and reporting requirements o Earlier identification of FFTs o Streamlined documentation of mitigation 6 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
