This attribute specifies a minimum time period (in seconds) that must elapse between EM-REQ transactions in certain situations: - This attribute sets the minimum cycle time that a CM will use for sending requests to enter an Energy Management Mode. The CM will not request to enter an Energy Management Mode while this amount of time has yet to elapse since the last time the CM requested an Energy Management Mode and received a response indicating (0) OK or (1) Reject Temporary (with no Hold-off Timer value provided).

- In the case that the CM fails to receive an EM-RSP message after the maximum number of retries, this attribute sets the minimum amount of time to elapse before the CM can attempt another EM-REQ transaction.
