American Electric Reliability
Corporation, (jointly ‘‘NERC’’) tendered

Federal Power Act. NERC claims to
meet all statutory and regulatory
requirements to serve as the ERO for the
United States and to ensure reliable
operation of the North American bulk
power system. NERC also seeks
Commission approval of its certificate of
incorporation, its bylaws, and its rules
of procedure, all of which will become
the ‘‘ERO Rules.’’ In a companion filing,
NERC is seeking approval of its
currently-effective reliability standards.
Any person desiring to intervene or to
protest this filing must file in
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of
the Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214).

Commission in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but will
not serve to make protestants parties to
the proceeding. Any person wishing to
become a party must file a notice of
intervention or motion to intervene, as
appropriate. Such notices, motions, or
protests must be filed on or before the
comment date. On or before the
comment date, it is not necessary to
serve motions to intervene or protests
on persons other than the Applicant.
The Commission encourages
electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper using the
‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://www.ferc.gov.
Persons unable to file electronically
should submit an original and 14 copies
of the protest or intervention to the
