AGENCY:
The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks
comments on Draft NISTIR 7823,
Advanced Metering Infrastructure Smart
Meter Upgradeability Test Framework
(Draft NISTIR 7823). This draft
document provides an example test
framework and conformance test
requirements for the firmware
upgradeability process for the Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Smart
Meters. The target audience for Draft
NISTIR 7823 includes numerous
stakeholders in the Smart Grid space,
particularly customers, Smart Meter
manufacturers, certifying bodies, test
labs, and standards development
organizations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST
publishes this notice to solicit
comments on Draft NISTIR 7823,
Advanced Metering Infrastructure Smart
Meter Upgradeability Test Framework
(Draft NISTIR 7823). This draft
document proposes an example test
framework and conformance test
requirements for the firmware
upgradeability process for the Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Smart
Meters. The conformance test
requirements in the Draft NISTIR 7823
are derived from the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association (NEMA)
Requirements for Smart Meter
Upgradeability standard, which defines
requirements for Smart Meter firmware
upgradeability in the context of an AMI
system for industry stakeholders such as
regulators, utilities, and vendors. Draft
NISTIR 7823 identifies test procedures
that the vendors and testers can
voluntarily use to demonstrate a
system’s conformance with the NEMA
standard. The testing procedures
identified as ‘‘Required Vendor
Information’’ apply to vendors, and the
procedures identified as ‘‘Required Test
Procedures’’ apply to testers.
Draft NISTIR 7823 includes a
description of conformance tests that
apply to Smart Meters and Upgrade
Management System (UMS). The
conformance tests applicable to Smart
Meters are described in the following
sections: Section 2, the Mandatory
Functional Requirements, Section 3, the
Conditional Functional Requirements,
Section 4, the Optional Functional
Requirements, and Section 5, the Nontestable Functional Requirements. The
conformance tests applicable to UMS
are described in Section 6.
The test framework identified in the
Draft NISTIR 7823 is intended to
provide objectivity and repeatability in
the testing process, and to ensure that a
consistent method is used to assess
conformance with the NEMA
Requirements for Smart Meter
Upgradeability. The NEMA
specification does not address specific
details on the interfaces, commands, or
protocols needed to achieve a firmware
upgrade, nor does it specify how the
functional and security requirements
contained in the specification are to be
implemented.
Draft NISTIR 7823 provides a highlevel overview of the test procedures, in
addition to providing more detailed
steps for conducting the test, reviewing
test results, and producing records to
assess and report on results of the test.
Comments are requested on the test

ACTION: Notice of approval of extension
of deep sea hard mineral exploration
licenses and amended exploration plan.
AGENCY:
On February 29, 2012, NOAA
published a notice and request for
comments in the Federal Register at 77
FR 12245 on the request of Lockheed
Martin Corp. to extend the deep seabed
hard mineral exploration licenses USA–
1 and USA–4 issued under the Deep
Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act
(DSHMRA; 30 U.S.C. 1401–1473) and
approve the amended exploration plan
for those licenses.
No comments were received objecting
to the approval of the extension and
amended exploration plan. Comments
were received only from the Western
Pacific Fisheries Management Council
(WPFMC) and the United States
Department of State. The WPFMC noted
that none of the fisheries under its
jurisdiction were likely to be affected by
any activities outlined in the extension
request. The Department of State noted
that international recognition of the
areas covered by the licenses requires
approval by the International Seabed
Authority (ISA) and that without
accession of the United States to the
Law of the Sea (LOS) Convention, the
United States cannot sponsor a U.S.
company at the ISA. The Department
further noted that if the U.S. accedes to
the LOS Convention that it would be
necessary to make conforming changes
to these exploration licenses. NOAA
acknowledges and accepts the
comments from WPFMC and the
Department of State.
Under its authority and in
conformance with the requirements
under DSHMRA and the DSHMRA
regulations at 15 CFR part 970, NOAA
approved the extension of both licenses
for five years along with the amended
