Commission
[Docket No. RM11–2–000]
Smart Grid Interoperability Standards;
Notice of Docket Designation for Smart
Grid Interoperability Standards
October 7, 2010.
1. The Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007 (EISA) 1 lays out
the policy of the United States with
regard to modernization of the nation’s
electricity transmission and distribution
system and directs the development of
a framework to achieve interoperability
of smart grid devices and systems,
including protocols and model
standards for information management.2
EISA directs the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) to
coordinate the development of this
framework. Once the Commission is
satisfied that NIST’s work has led to
‘‘sufficient consensus’’ on
interoperability standards, EISA directs
the Commission to ‘‘institute a
rulemaking proceeding to adopt such
standards and protocols as may be
necessary to insure smart-grid
functionality and interoperability in
interstate transmission of electric
power, and regional and wholesale
electricity markets.’’ 3
2. In August 2009, NIST launched a
three-phase plan to expedite the
development of smart grid
interoperability standards. In the first
phase, NIST led the smart grid
community in a participatory public
process to identify applicable standards,
as well as priorities for additional
standardization activities. In January
2010, NIST released a framework and
roadmap that identified a number of
standards that are applicable to the
ongoing development of the smart grid.4
After further discussion with
stakeholders and an analysis of the
standards’ cyber security protections,
NIST has now identified five suites of
standards that it states are ready for
consideration by regulatory authorities.
While the Commission has made no
determination yet on whether ‘‘sufficient
consensus’’ exists for these standards,
the Commission is issuing this notice to
1 Public
Law 110–140, 121 Stat. 1492 (2007).
1305(a), to be codified at 15 U.S.C.
17385(a).
3 EISA 1305(d), to be codified at 15 U.S.C.
17385(d).

designate the docket captioned above
for a possible rulemaking proceeding
pursuant to EISA section 1305(d).
3. In accordance with the Federal
Administrative Procedure Act,5 the
Commission will issue a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking for comment
before adopting any of the five suites of
standards identified by NIST.
4. For the convenience of interested
stakeholders, the Commission has
placed NIST’s announcement and
descriptions of the standards that have
been prepared by NIST in the record of
this proceeding. These documents are
available for review at the Commission
in the Public Reference Room or may be
viewed on the Commission’s Web site
under the above docket number at
