  "text": "1. Where the TSOs of the GB synchronous area propose to modify the values for the frequency quality defining parameters or the frequency quality target parameter in accordance with Article 127, they shall publish the modified values ... at least 1 month before the entry into force of the synchronous area operational agreement.\n2. Where applicable, all TSOs of the GB synchronous area shall publish the values of the FRCE target parameters for each LFC block and each LFC area ... at least 1 month before their applicability.\n3. All TSOs of the GB synchronous area shall publish the methodology used to determine the risk of exhaustion of FCR ... at least 3 months before the application of the synchronous area operational agreement.\n4. The synchronous area monitor of the GB synchronous area shall publish the results of the criteria application process for their synchronous area ... within 3 months after the last time-stamp of the measurement period and at least four times a year. Those results shall include at least:\n(a) the values of the frequency quality evaluation criteria calculated for the synchronous area and for each LFC block within the synchronous area in accordance with Article 133(3); and\n(b) the measurement resolution, measurement accuracy and calculation method specified in accordance with Article 132;\n5. All TSOs of the GB synchronous area shall publish the ramping period specified in accordance with Article 136 ... at least 3 months before their applicability.",
