Do the metrics include any planning costs?
The FRA Cost Metrics do not include any costs associated with Planning Funding Agreements (PFAs). The TA develops and publishes a separate set of metrics for PFAs. A small number of licensees, whose reconfigurations did not require significant planning projects, chose to include small amounts of planning costs in their FRA as permitted. When accumulating metric data, the TA is careful to identify such FRAs and any associated planning tasks and categorize them appropriately for metrics purposes. These costs are isolated to the Pre-Implementation Planning cost category.
