NEW, REVISED Naval Y2K Report - the one the government put on the net yesterday, August 20:nfesc.navy.mil They don't explain what 3 is. I assume it means Definite Failure.very strange description. Especially where they give the same description for both "improbable failure" and "probable failure". And, how they describe "remediation, testing and contingency planning" as "a few loose ends". Something just doesn't add up here.Master Utilities Y2K Preparedness Status Spreadsheet though they look pretty good, there are a few loose ends (normally remediation, testing, and contingency planning) that the company needs to finish. We will be following up in these instances at a later date to re-examine the particular utility company's preparedness.normally means we have not yet received an answer from the utility company in question or they have not yet agreed to meet or talk with us. Accordingly, we are assuming the worst case ... but only for purposes of a Naval Installation preparing its contingency plans, nothing else.In some instances, we have affirmations (letter, website statement) from the utility company that they will be compliant or are working hard to achieve compliance . In those cases where we have something tangible from the company, we have made an entry in Column C. In other cases, even though we met with the utility company and may have received oral assurances of compliancy, we still have nothing in writing and consequentially there is no entry in this column.
