Added an Alert status category ‘‘system report,’’ which shall be filed by the later of 24 hours after the recognition of the incident OR by the end of the next business day. This change aligns with the EOP–004 Reliability Standard. 4:00 p.m. local time will be definition for the end of the business day. 8. Under Electric Emergency Incident and Disturbance Report section, lines J, K, L were reorganized into ‘‘Cause, Impact, and Action Taken’’ for clarity and ease of use and additional items were added to align with NERC’s EOP– 004 Reliability Standard. 9. The burden per response for completing Form OE–417 is reduced from 2.16 hours to 1.8 hours based on findings from the results from cognitive research conducted by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. EIA also proposes to amend its data protection policy for information reported on Schedule 2 of Form OE– 417. Currently this information is protected from public release to the extent that it satisfies the criteria for exemption under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552, the DOE regulations, 10 CFR 1004.11 implementing FOIA, and the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. 1905. EIA proposes to use the Critical Energy Infrastructure Information (CEII) regulations as set forth by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to implement the requirements of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, Public Law 114–94, pursuant to section 215A(d) of the Federal Power Act, as amended, to protect information reported on Schedule 2 in addition to continuing to apply FOIA exemptions and using the Trade Secrets Act. This change will strengthen DOE’s ability to protect information reported on Schedule 2 of Form OE–417 and authorize DOE to withhold company identifiable information from public release. The new data protection provision for Form OE–417 will be as follows: The information reported on Schedule 1 will be considered ‘‘public information’’ and may be publicly released in company or individually identifiable form. Information on Schedule 2 of Form OE–417 will not be disclosed to the public to the extent that it satisfies the criteria for exemption under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552, the DOE regulations, 10 CFR 1004.11, implementing the FOIA, the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. 1905 and Critical Energy Infrastructure Information regulations as defined by VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:33 Aug 15, 2017 Jkt 241001 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission pursuant to section 215A(d) of the Federal Power Act, as amended.
