Reporting (assessment and dist). 355 Record Retention ................... Total .......................................................................... srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES The total estimated annual cost resulting from this Reliability Standard is made up the hourly wage cost for record retention and reporting, and the compliance cost for new equipment. The total cost 9 is $1,077,360 ($284,760 + $42,600 + $750,000). The individual components of this cost are: • Estimated annual record retention cost 10 = 10,170 hours @ $28/hour = $284,360 • Estimated annual reporting cost = 355 hours @ $120/hour = $ 42,600 Total estimated non-hourly annual compliance cost 11 (acquisition and installation of dynamic disturbance recorders) = $750,000 Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden and cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; 6 The estimate below regarding the number of respondents is based on the NERC compliance registry as of August 29, 2011. After accounting for double counting, the net number of entities responding will be approximately 167 entities registered as a transmission owner, generation owner, or reliability coordinator. 7 For purposes of this chart, generation owner is abbreviated to GO, transmission owner is abbreviated to TO, and reliability coordinator is abbreviated to RC. 8 We estimate that an entity will experience a unit failure greater than 90 days once every five years. Therefore, 20 percent of NPCC’s 163 generator owners and transmission owners will experience a unit failure of this duration each year. 9 In the initial order there was a calculation error in the total cost and in the record retention cost. The difference is minor and has been corrected here. 10 The hourly reporting cost is based on the estimated cost of an engineer to implement the requirements of the rule. The record retention cost comes from Commission staff research on record retention requirements. 11 We estimate that annually, approximately one entity within NPCC will have to procure dynamic disturbance recording capability and the total acquisition and installation cost will range between $150,000 and $750,000. We use the higher estimate here.
