I. Background
A. Order No. 748
2. Order No. 748 1 approved three new
Interconnection Reliability Operations
and Coordination (IRO) Reliability
Standards and seven revised Reliability
Standards related to Emergency
Operations and Preparedness (EOP),
IRO, and Transmission Operations
(TOP). The approved IRO Reliability
Standards were designed to prevent
instability, uncontrolled separation, or
cascading outages that adversely impact
the reliability of the interconnection by
ensuring that the reliability coordinator
has the data necessary to analyze and
monitor Interconnection Reliability
Operating Limits (IROL) within its
Wide-Area .2 The Final Rule also
approved the addition of two new terms
to the NERC Glossary of Terms,
‘‘Operational Planning Analysis’’ and
‘‘Real Time Assessment.’’
B. Order No. 749
3. Order No. 749 3 approved three
EOP Reliability Standards as well as the
definition of the term ‘‘Blackstart
Resource.’’ The approved Reliability
Standards require transmission
operators, generation operators, and
certain transmission owners and
distribution providers to ensure that
plans, facilities, and personnel are
prepared to enable system restoration
from Blackstart Resources and require
reliability coordinators to establish
plans and prepare personnel to enable
effective coordination of the system
restoration process. The Commission
also approved NERC’s request to retire
four effective and one pending
Reliability Standards.

C. Requests for Clarification
4. On April 18, 2011, NERC submitted
a request for clarification of certain
aspects of Order No. 748 including: (1)
The effective date of Reliability
Standard IRO–004–2; (2) the version of
EOP–001 approved by the Commission;
and (3) the effective date of Reliability
Standard EOP–001–2. On the same day,
NERC submitted a request for
clarification of Order No. 749 similarly
1 Mandatory Reliability Standards for
Interconnection Reliability Operating Limits, Order
No. 748, 134 FERC ¶ 61,213 (2011).
2 The term ‘‘Wide-Area’’ is defined in the NERC
Glossary of Terms Used in Reliability Standards
(NERC Glossary), approved by the Commission. As
defined, Wide-Area includes not only the reliability
coordinators’ area, but also critical flow and status
information from adjacent reliability coordinator
areas as determined by detailed system studies to
allow the calculation of IROLs. See NERC Glossary
available at https://www.nerc.com/docs/standards/

Jkt 223001
seeking clarification on the version of
Reliability Standard EOP–001 approved
by the Commission and its effective
date.
5. With respect to Reliability Standard
IRO–004–2, NERC states that the
effective date provision in Reliability
Standard IRO–004–2 is inconsistent
with the implementation of the three
new IRO standards. NERC explains that
it proposed, in its petition, to retire six
of the seven requirements in the IRO–
004–1 standard, and designated the one
remaining requirement as IRO–004–2.
The Commission approved IRO–004–2
in the Final Rule, but the effective date
provision in IRO–004–2 states that the
entire Reliability Standard should be
retired, even though one requirement
remains in effect with Commission
approval of revised Reliability Standard.
NERC requests clarification from the
Commission that the effective date
language in the IRO–004–2 standard
should be revised as ‘‘the latter of either
April 1, 2009 or the first day of the first
calendar quarter, three months after
applicable regulatory approval.’’
6. Second, NERC requests clarification
regarding the Commission’s approval of
Reliability Standard EOP–001–1. NERC
notes that at the same time NERC
submitted a Petition in RM10–15–000,
NERC filed a petition in Docket No.
RM10–16–000 seeking approval of
certain EOP Reliability Standards. Each
Petition contained specific proposed
changes to Reliability Standard EOP–
001–0. NERC states in both Petitions
that it requested that the Commission
approve revised Reliability Standard
EOP–001–1 only if the concurrent
petition is not previously (or
concurrently) approved by the
Commission and otherwise to approve
Reliability Standard EOP–001–2, which
reflected the changes in both Petitions,
rather than EOP–001–1. NERC requests
clarification that EOP–001–2 is the
approved Reliability Standard given the
concurrent issuance of the Final Rules.
7. Finally, NERC requests clarification
regarding the effective date of Reliability
Standard EOP–001–2. NERC states that
it requested Reliability Standard EOP–
001–1 to become effective ‘‘the first day
of the first calendar quarter, three
months after applicable regulatory
approval.’’ However, NERC states that it
also requested that if the Commission
previously or concurrently approved
Reliability Standard EOP–001–2, it
should be made effective ‘‘twenty-four
months after the first day of the first
calendar quarter following applicable
regulatory approval.’’ NERC seeks
clarification that Reliability Standard
EOP–001–2 be made effective in
accordance with the implementation
PO 00000
Frm 00067
Fmt 4700

schedule in the EOP–001–2 Reliability
Standard given the concurrent issuance
of the Final Rules.
II. Discussion
8. The Commission grants NERC’s
request for clarification regarding
Reliability Standard IRO–004–2.
Consistent with our approval of IRO–
004–2, the Commission clarifies that the
effective date provision in IRO–004–2
should be modified as requested by
NERC to reflect the one requirement in
IRO–004–2 that was not retired. NERC
has included the modified effective date
provision for IRO–004–2 as Exhibit A to
its request for clarification. This
clarification should alleviate confusion
implementing Reliability Standard IRO–
004–2.
9. The Commission also clarifies that
it approved Reliability Standard EOP–
001–2. Each NERC Petition in Docket
Nos. RM10–15–000 and RM10–16–000
proposed unique changes to EOP–001–
0 not reflected in the other petition
presenting a logistical problem with
cross-references. Given the issuance of
Order Nos. 748 and 749, both on March
17, 2011, Reliability Standard EOP–
001–2 is the currently-operative version.
Moreover, we clarify that Reliability
Standard EOP–001–2 shall become
effective according to the
implementation schedule in that
standard.

Request for Comments
The FHWA issued the final rule
establishing requirements for the RealTime System Management Information
Program on November 8, 2010, at 75 FR
68418. The final rule document also
sought additional comments relating to
the costs and benefits of the Real-Time
System Management Information
Program and general information about
current and planned programs.
Although the Regulatory Cost Analysis
found in the docket for the rulemaking
attempts to capture the scope of costs
and benefits associated with this rule,
the FHWA sought further information to
determine a comprehensive picture of
costs and benefits given the flexibility of
approaches that can be used and the
limitations of the current studies.
The specific questions posed in the
Request for Comments were:
(1) What are the costs and benefits of
each individual provision required
under rule? If some provisions have net
costs, would certain modifications to
those provisions lead to net benefits?
(2) What are the impacts of requiring
these provisions on States and
Metropolitan Areas (do some States and
Metropolitan Areas realize net costs
instead of net benefits)? If some States
and Metropolitan Areas realize net
costs, would certain modifications to
provisions ensure net benefits?
(3) Is there a specific, alternative
approach to calculating costs and
benefits that would be more appropriate
than the current use of the Atlanta
Navigator Study?
(4) Although information
dissemination to the public is not
within scope of this rule, it is important
to understand how information is
typically disseminated so that the
technologies used to collect and monitor
data are compatible with technologies
used to disseminate this information.
This is especially important to keep up
with new technological advances and to
ensure that States use the most effective,
low cost methods to both collect and
disseminate information.
(A) What technologies will States use
to collect and monitor information
under this rule?
(B) What technologies are States
planning to use to disseminate this
PO 00000
Frm 00068
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
information or what are they already
using?
(C) Do the technologies States plan to
use present any interoperability issues?
Do they allow for use of advanced
technologies that could be the most
cost-effective means of collecting and
disseminating this information?
(D) Are there any structural
impediments to using low-cost
advanced technologies in the future
given the provisions and specifications
contained in this rule?
(E) Given the research investment into
wireless communications systems in the
5.9 GHz spectrum for Intelligent
Transportation Systems applications, to
what extent could systems in this
spectrum also be used to fulfill the
requirements of this rule and/or enable
other applications?
(F) Given that there are legacy
technologies in place now, and that
there are new technologies on the
horizon that are being adopted, how can
we ensure that investments made today
to comply with this rule are sustainable
over the long term?
(5) This rule defines Metropolitan
Areas to mean the geographic areas
designated as Metropolitan Statistical
Areas by the Office of Management and
Budget with a population exceeding
1,000,000 inhabitants. Is this population
criterion appropriate, rather than
considering traffic, commuting times, or
other considerations?
Summary of Responses
Fourteen of the 31 parties that
provided comments responded to at
least some of the questions. Other
comments provided discussions
regarding real-time information or
presented questions on specific
provisions of the regulation.
Clarifications are offered below in
addition to summarizing the responses
to the Request for Comments.
Comments on the Final Rule
Three of the general comments to the
docket posed questions related to the
roadways that are included under the
Real-Time System Management
Information Program and travel time
reporting requirements. The program
includes all the roads of the Interstate
System (23 CFR 511.311) and other
roads in metropolitan areas deemed to
be ‘‘routes of significance’’ by the States
(23 CFR 511.313). Similar to design
exceptions permitted under 23 U.S.C.
103(c)(1)(B)(ii), highways on the
Interstate System in Alaska and Puerto
Rico may be granted exemptions from
the requirements of the Real-Time
System Management Information
Program upon request from the States.

\2\ The term ``Wide-Area'' is defined in the NERC Glossary of
Terms Used in Reliability Standards (NERC Glossary), approved by the
Commission. As defined, Wide-Area includes not only the reliability
coordinators' area, but also critical flow and status information
from adjacent reliability coordinator areas as determined by
detailed system studies to allow the calculation of IROLs. See NERC
Glossary available at https://www.nerc.com/docs/standards/rs/Glossary_of_Terms_2010April20.pdf.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. Requests for Clarification
4. On April 18, 2011, NERC submitted a request for clarification of
certain aspects of Order No. 748 including: (1) The effective date of
Reliability Standard IRO-004-2; (2) the version of EOP-001 approved by
the Commission; and (3) the effective date of Reliability Standard EOP-
001-2. On the same day, NERC submitted a request for clarification of
Order No. 749 similarly seeking clarification on the version of
Reliability Standard EOP-001 approved by the Commission and its
effective date.
5. With respect to Reliability Standard IRO-004-2, NERC states that
the effective date provision in Reliability Standard IRO-004-2 is
inconsistent with the implementation of the three new IRO standards.
NERC explains that it proposed, in its petition, to retire six of the
seven requirements in the IRO-004-1 standard, and designated the one
remaining requirement as IRO-004-2. The Commission approved IRO-004-2
in the Final Rule, but the effective date provision in IRO-004-2 states
that the entire Reliability Standard should be retired, even though one
requirement remains in effect with Commission approval of revised
Reliability Standard. NERC requests clarification from the Commission
that the effective date language in the IRO-004-2 standard should be
revised as ``the latter of either April 1, 2009 or the first day of the
first calendar quarter, three months after applicable regulatory
approval.''
6. Second, NERC requests clarification regarding the Commission's
approval of Reliability Standard EOP-001-1. NERC notes that at the same
time NERC submitted a Petition in RM10-15-000, NERC filed a petition in
Docket No. RM10-16-000 seeking approval of certain EOP Reliability
Standards. Each Petition contained specific proposed changes to
Reliability Standard EOP-001-0. NERC states in both Petitions that it
requested that the Commission approve revised Reliability Standard EOP-
001-1 only if the concurrent petition is not previously (or
concurrently) approved by the Commission and otherwise to approve
Reliability Standard EOP-001-2, which reflected the changes in both
Petitions, rather than EOP-001-1. NERC requests clarification that EOP-
001-2 is the approved Reliability Standard given the concurrent
issuance of the Final Rules.
7. Finally, NERC requests clarification regarding the effective
date of Reliability Standard EOP-001-2. NERC states that it requested
Reliability Standard EOP-001-1 to become effective ``the first day of
the first calendar quarter, three months after applicable regulatory
approval.'' However, NERC states that it also requested that if the
Commission previously or concurrently approved Reliability Standard
EOP-001-2, it should be made effective ``twenty-four months after the
first day of the first calendar quarter following applicable regulatory
approval.'' NERC seeks clarification that Reliability Standard EOP-001-
2 be made effective in accordance with the implementation schedule in
the EOP-001-2 Reliability Standard given the concurrent issuance of the
Final Rules.
II. Discussion
8. The Commission grants NERC's request for clarification regarding
Reliability Standard IRO-004-2. Consistent with our approval of IRO-
004-2, the Commission clarifies that the effective date provision in
IRO-004-2 should be modified as requested by NERC to reflect the one
requirement in IRO-004-2 that was not retired. NERC has included the
modified effective date provision for IRO-004-2 as Exhibit A to its
request for clarification. This clarification should alleviate
confusion implementing Reliability Standard IRO-004-2.
9. The Commission also clarifies that it approved Reliability
Standard EOP-001-2. Each NERC Petition in Docket Nos. RM10-15-000 and
RM10-16-000 proposed unique changes to EOP-001-0 not reflected in the
other petition presenting a logistical problem with cross-references.
Given the issuance of Order Nos. 748 and 749, both on March 17, 2011,
Reliability Standard EOP-001-2 is the currently-operative version.
Moreover, we clarify that Reliability Standard EOP-001-2 shall become
