8. Adequacy of station service power supply immediately after a major shutdown
and for subsequent startup. Need for additional sources of emergency station-
service supply and/or changes in circuit design to provide remote indication of
critical equipment (such as breaker position) during outages. Black start: (a)
requirement, (b) capability and (c) procedures.

11. With increasing complexity of control equipment and diverse modes of
operation of this equipment, it is more important than ever that standard
nameplates for relaying, control, and switch identification be adhered to at all
stations. Also, arrangement of devices on the control board to conform to
standard arrangements shown by standard drawings prepared in the Denver
office should be adhered to insofar as possible. Standard drawings are
available for typical control board panels, such as for generators and other
major equipment (see appendix A). A periodic review of existing nameplates
should be conducted to ensure that:
