Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC; Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization, 6283 [E9-2523]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 24 / Friday, February 6, 2009 / Notices requirement has occurred. A compliance audit team should not consider or discuss whether a monetary penalty or some other sanction would be appropriate if the Regional Entity finds that the registered entity has violated the requirement. Nor should a compliance audit team base its decision regarding whether evidence of a violation exists upon the resources or time needed for litigation or settlement of a related notice of alleged violation.9 The Commission would look with disfavor on the conclusions of a compliance audit that is based in any way on these considerations. 11. We emphasize that NERC and Regional Entities need to be as consistent as possible about the level of evidence or documentation that is needed to demonstrate compliance for particular requirements. 12. A compliance audit conducted by NERC or a Regional Entity should include an assessment of the registered entity’s Reliability Standards compliance program. We suggest that NERC and the Regional Entities discuss how NERC’s audit guidelines and audit data requests and questionnaires could better elicit information on the factors discussed in our recent Policy Statement on Compliance.10 13. If an audit team learns about a situation that does not appear to involve a current or ongoing violation of a Reliability Standard requirement, but instead represents an area of concern that could become a violation, we expect the team to notify the registered entity of the situation, discuss it with the entity, and document such discussions in the compliance audit report. We remind audit teams that they are expected to fully test compliance with any non-actively monitored standard if the teams find evidence during the audit of non-compliance with such a standard.11 14. We believe implementation of this guidance will improve the consistency of compliance audits relating to Reliability Standards and result in greater compliance with them. By the Commission.
