However, a response to a Feasibility Study is not binding for the Infrastructure Manager. Therefore, the Feasibility Study result is not a commitment to a path allocation. The Feasibility Studies are described in Chapter 4.9.3.4. Path/Capacity Requests:

• • Capacity for Annual requests: Capacity to be coordinated at a defined deadline or made available for

requests placed after this deadline.

• • Capacity for Rolling Planning requests: Dedicated capacity based on capacity bands for a defined time

window or path, with specific requesting deadlines.

• • Capacity for Ad-hoc requests: Unplanned capacity or residual capacity for requests submitted after X-2.
• • Capacity for Short-Term Ad-hoc requests: Unplanned capacity or residual capacity for requests submitted

less than 30 days before the train operation. The European Capacity Management Tool (ECMT) is a software tool for Infrastructure Managers (IMs)/Allocation Bodies (ABs) and Applicants, which helps IMs in the coordination and publication of their Capacity Models and Capacity Supply (provided capacity), and Applicants for submission of Capacity Needs Announcements. Access to ECMT is free of charge. A user account can be requested via the following link: https://ecmt- online.rne.eu/user/register. More information can be found on https://ecmt-online.rne.eu/.

Implementation

CFR participates in the implementation of the project at the national level according to the TTR project according to the calendar developed at the RNE level. Details regarding the TTR process implementation calendar can be found on the website: https://rne.eu/wp-content/uploads/Long_Description_of_the_TTR_process_V4.0_2024-12- 10.pdf#page=8 ACP-Deadlines-–-Calendar-Year-2026.pdf As part of the implementation process of the TT project, in 2023 CFR developed the Capacity Strategy for the 2025/2026 road plan on the traffic sections located on the freight corridors RFC 7 and RFC 9, as well as on their alternative routes. CFR has also published the Capacity Strategy both on its own website (www.cfr.ro) and on the Rail Net Europe website (www.rne.eu).

4.9.3.1 Capacity Strategy CFR decided to define the Capacity Strategy for the 2028 Timetable for the traffic sections located on the freight corridorRin-Dunăre, as well as on their alternative routes. The traffic data was harmonized with the Infrastructure Managers of Hungary (MAV) and Bulgaria (NRIC). In line with the joint process laid down in the Handbook for Procedures for Capacity Strategy, CFR published the document on the website of the NS as Annex 4.a, as well as on the RNE website (https://rne.eu/capacity- management/capacity-strategies/). The calendar for preparing the Capacity Strategy is:
