Download as PDF 26208 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 90 / Tuesday, May 11, 2010 / Notices expressed the need for greater industry collaboration to build a better case for dedicated spectrum.11 Utilities have also expressed a need for dedicated spectrum for fast power restoration in an emergency or natural disaster, reliable service, and for protection from a cyber attack on the electric grid.12 DOE thus seeks to better understand this need for dedicated spectrum; what compels the need for additional spectrum in addition to the increased amount of data that utilities are expected to handle as the deployment of Smart Grid applications multiplies. List of Questions emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES The following list of questions represents a preliminary attempt to identify and respond to the issues that have been raised in the National Broadband Plan regarding the Smart Grid and DOE, as outlined in the summary of this Inquiry. This list of questions does not represent a determination of the final list of topics that should be addressed to best carry out the recommendations of the Plan. Rather, this list is intended only to assist in the formulation of comments— not to restrict the issues that might be addressed in the comments. In addressing these questions or others, commenters must also recognize that this RFI is intended to assist and inform DOE’s efforts to address the aspects of these questions that most directly implicate the duties and responsibilities assigned by law to DOE and the Secretary of Energy. This qualification is important because all interstate information technologies, including the Smart Grid, inevitably implicate the jurisdiction and expertise of the States and many other federal agencies—a few of the most obvious examples include federal lawenforcement agencies, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FCC. DOE fully intends to respect the jurisdiction and expertise of these and other governmental entities.

(1) What are the current and future communications needs of utilities, including for the deployment of new Smart Grid applications, and how are these needs being met? (2) What are the basic requirements, such as security, bandwidth, reliability, coverage, latency, and backup, for smart grid communications and electric utility communications systems in general— today and tomorrow? How do these requirements impact the utilities’ communication needs? (3) What are other additional considerations (e.g. terrain, foliage, customer density and size of service territory)? (4) What are the use cases for various smart grid applications and other communications needs? (5) What are the technology options for smart grid and other utility communications? (6) What are the recommendations for meeting current and future utility requirements, based on each use case, the technology options that are available, and other considerations? (7) To what extent can existing commercial networks satisfy the utilities’ communications needs? (8) What, if any, improvements to the commercial networks can be made to satisfy the utilities’ communications needs? (9) As the Smart Grid grows and expands, how do the electric utilities foresee their communications requirements as growing and adapting along with the expansion of Smart Grid applications?
