Process for Updates to the DSC Service Description Table For Approval Change Management Committee on Wednesday 7 th August 2019
Introduction • The DSC Service Description Table contains a list of services the CDSP provides to Shipper Users, DNOs, IGTs and NGT • Code (Mods) and non-code (Change Proposals) changes often require updates to the DSC Service Description Table in the form of new service lines, amended service lines or deleted service lines • The CDSP is responsible for ensuring the DSC Service Description Table reflects the services we provide to our DSC customers • We’re reviewing the existing process for how the table is updated and approved at DSC committees; this paper contains a proposal with the intention of streamlining the process by removing the requirement to seek approval at Change Management Committee
