Union Electric Company (Ameren); Notice of Application for Amendment of License and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests, 6551-6552 [2012-2860]

Download as PDF 6551 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 8, 2012 / Notices electric system’s ability to reliably transfer energy in the near-term transmission planning horizon. FAC– 013–2 imposes relatively minimal new requirements beyond the existing requirements of FAC–013–1, primarily limited to specification of information that must be included in the documented methodology for identifying potential future transmission system weaknesses, the frequency of the assessment required, and the number of days allocated to make the assessment results available to other entities. While the document retention requirements are being increased under the new Reliability Standard (from one to three years), the usual and customary practice currently is to retain documentation needed to demonstrate compliance for the period since the last Type of Respondents: Planning Coordinators1 Estimate of Annual Burden: FAC– 013–2 will require applicable entities to review their transfer capability methodologies and document compliance with the Reliability Standard’s requirements. Those planning coordinators that do not already comply with FAC–013–2’s requirement for having a documented methodology for assessing transfer capability in the Near-Term Transmission Planning Horizon will be required to update their methodology documents and compliance protocols. In addition, planning coordinators must ensure that the required assessment will be performed at least once per calendar year. The estimated burden 2 is as follows: audit, which is on a three year schedule. In addition, while planning coordinators must ensure that they perform an appropriate transfer capability assessment at least once per year, they are already required to establish transfer capabilities and disseminate information about those capabilities. Thus, there should be no increase in burden other than the onetime cost of (1) setting up a procedure to ensure that the assessment will be performed at least once per year, and (2) adjusting the methodology (if needed) to comply with the more specific requirements set out in the new Reliability Standard. The estimated burden of complying with these modified requirements is listed in the estimated annual burden section below.

For a further explanation of what is included in the information collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3. 3 As of August 29, 2011, NERC listed 80 entities as registered planning authorities (synonymous with planning coordinator). The burden calculation is based on the expectation that 25% of all planning coordinators will have to update their methodology documents. 4 The hourly reporting cost is based on the estimated cost of an engineer to implement the requirements of the rule.
