SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collected by the FERC– 725D, ‘‘Facilities Design, Connections and Maintenance Reliability Standards’’ (OMB Control No. 1902–0247), is required to implement the statutory provisions of section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824o). On August 8, 2005, the Electricity Modernization Act of 2005, which is Title XII, Subtitle A, of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), was enacted into law.1 EPAct 2005 added a new section 215 to the FPA, which required a Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) to develop mandatory and enforceable reliability standards, which are subject to Commission review and approval. Once approved, the reliability standards may be enforced by the ERO subject to Commission oversight, or the Commission can independently enforce reliability standards.2 On February 3, 2006, the Commission issued Order No. 672, implementing section 215 of the FPA. Pursuant to Order No. 672, the Commission certified one organization, North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC), as the ERO. The reliability standards developed by the ERO and approved by the Commission will apply to users, owners and operators of the Bulk-Power System, as set forth in each reliability standard. On November 15, 2006, NERC filed 20 revised reliability standards and three new reliability standards for Commission approval. The Commission addressed the 20 revised Reliability 1 Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109–58, Title XII, Subtitle A, 119 Stat. 594, 941 (2005), 16 U.S.C. 824o. 2 16 U.S.C. 824o(e)(3). PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 18209 Standards in Order No. 693.3 The three new reliability standards were approved by FERC on December 27, 2007 in Order 705 and were designated by NERC as follows: • FAC–010–1 (System Operating Limits Methodology for the Planning Horizon) • FAC–011–1 (System Operating Limits Methodology for the Operations Horizon) • FAC–014–1 (Establish and Communicate System Operating Limits). These standards were subsequently modified by NERC in April of 2008 and submitted to the Commission for approval. On March 20, 2009 the Commission approved NERC’s modifications to the FAC standards in Order No. 722 and NERC now designates these standards as FAC–010– 2, FAC–011–2, and FAC–014–2.4 The three newly approved FAC reliability standards require planning authorities and reliability coordinators to establish methodologies to determine system operating limits (SOLs) for the bulkpower system in the planning and operation horizons. The three reliability standards do not require responsible entities to file information with the Commission. Nor, with the exception of a three year selfcertification of compliance, do the Reliability Standards require responsible entities to file information with the ERO or Regional Entities. However, the Reliability Standards do require responsible entities to develop and maintain certain information for a specified period of time, subject to inspection by the ERO or Regional Entities. Reliability standard FAC–010– 2 requires the planning authority to have a documented methodology for use in developing SOLs and must retain evidence that it issued its SOL methodology to relevant reliability coordinators, transmission operators and adjacent planning authorities. Likewise, the planning authority must respond to technical comments on the methodology within 45 days of receipt. Further, each planning authority must self-certify its compliance to the compliance monitor once every three years. Reliability standard FAC–011–2 requires similar documentation by the 3 On March 16, 2007, the Commission approved 83 of the 107 standards initially filed by NERC.
