The public utility has the option of conducting a witness test at a mutually agreeable time within 10 business days of the scheduled commissioning of the small generator facility. If the public utility does not conduct the witness test within 10 business days of the scheduled commissioning date, or within the time otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties, or if the public utility notifies the applicant of its intent not to perform the test, the witness test is considered waived.
If the witness test is conducted and is not acceptable to the public utility, the applicant shall be allowed a period of 30 calendar days to resolve any deficiencies. A request for extension may not be unreasonably denied by the public utility. The parties may mutually agree to extend the time period for resolving any deficiencies. If the applicant fails to resolve the deficiencies to the satisfaction of the public utility within the agreed upon time period, the application is considered withdrawn.
