1) switchyard circuit breakers that connect to offsite system transformers,

2) the startup transformer,

3) the intervening overhead or underground circuits between circuit breaker and transformer and transformer and on site electrical system, and

4) the associated control circuits and structures WCNOC confirmed during the teleconference, the associated control circuits and structures along with all the other components listed are included in the scoping and are subject to the applicable aging management program.
