Standards of Conduct for Transmission Providers Extension of Non-
Statutory Deadlines; Notice Granting Extension of Time To Comply With 
Posting and Other Requirements

September 23, 2005.
    In anticipation of Hurricane Rita creating emergency conditions in 
Texas and Louisiana, the Commission is granting the following 
extensions of time and waivers. Section 358.4(a)(2) of the Commission's 
Standards of Conduct regulations allows transmission providers to 
``take whatever steps are necessary to keep the system[s] in 
operation'' notwithstanding any of the other requirements. 18 CFR 
358.4(a)(2) (2005). Section 358.4(a)(2) also provides: ``Transmission 
Providers must report to the Commission and post on the OASIS or 
Internet Web site, as applicable, each emergency that resulted in any 
deviation from the standards of conduct, within 24 hours of such 
deviation.'' As a result of the emergency, the Commission will allow 
affected transmission providers in the geographic area affected by 
Hurricane Rita to delay compliance with the section 358.4(a)(2) 
reporting requirement until October 7, 2005.
    The Commission will also waive, until October 7, 2005, the 
requirement to record and retain a record of each deviation of the 
Standards of Conduct.
    In addition, pursuant to section 385.2008 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.2008 (2005), the Commission finds 
good cause to extend, until October 7, 2005, non-statutory deadlines 
that occur before that date for participants in proceedings pending 
before the Commission who are in the geographic area affected by 
Hurricane Rita and need such extensions on account of the Hurricane.

[[Page 57598]]

    The Commission will consider extending the October 7, 2005 date if 
an extension is necessary.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
