Abstract: On August 17, 2018, the
North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC) filed a petition
seeking approval of proposed Reliability
Standard BAL–002–3 (Disturbance
Control Standard—Contingency Reserve
for Recovery from a Balancing
Contingency Event) and the retirement
of currently-effective Reliability
Standard BAL–002–2. NERC submitted
proposed Reliability Standard BAL–
002–3 in response to the Commission’s
directive in Order No. 835 to develop
modifications to Reliability Standard
BAL–002–2, Requirement R1 to require
balancing authorities or reserve sharing
groups: (1) To notify the reliability
coordinator of the conditions set forth in
Requirement R1, Part 1.3.1 preventing it
from complying with the 15-minute
ACE recovery period; and (2) to provide
the reliability coordinator with its ACE
recovery plan, including a target
recovery time.1 The NERC petition
states ‘‘the proposed modifications to
Reliability Standard BAL–002–3 also
intend to clarify that communication

Energy Emergency Alert procedures
within the EOP Reliability Standards.2
This communication is done under the
currently-effective Reliability Standard
BAL–002–2. The communications (and
related burden) are already required,
and the additional information is de
minimis. Therefore the Commission is
not modifying the burden estimate and
is submitting this to OMB as nonmaterial or non-substantive change to a
currently approved collection.
The Office of Electric Reliability
approved the NERC proposal in a
Delegated Order on September 25, 2018.
Type of Respondents: Balancing

information to or for a Federal agency. For further
explanation of information collection burden, refer
to 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.
4 Reliability Standard BAL–002–2 applies to
balancing authorities and reserve sharing groups.
However, the burden associated with the balancing
authorities complying with Requirements R1 and
R3 is not included in this table because that burden

doesn’t change and the Commission already
accounted for it under Commission-approved
Reliability Standard BAL–002–1.
5 The estimated hourly cost (wages plus benefits)
is based on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
information (available at https://www.bls.gov/oes/
current/naics2_22.htm and, for benefits, https://
www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm). The
hourly cost (wages plus benefits) for developing and
maintaining operating process and plans is $105.29
and is an average for an electrical engineer
(Occupation code 17–2071, $66.90/hour) and Legal
(Occupation code 23–0000, $ $143.68). The hourly
cost (wages plus benefits) for record retention is
$39.68 for information and record clerks
(Occupation code 43–4199).
6 BA = Balancing Authority; RSG = Reserve
Sharing Group.
7 This figure of 8 hours/response is an average of
the hourly burden per response for Years 1–3. Year
1 burden: 12 hours per response; Years 2–3, each:
6 hours/response. The average annual burden for
Years 1–3 is 8 hours/response (or [12 hours + 6
hours + 6 hours] ÷ 3).

Abstract: On August 17, 2018, the North American Electric
Reliability Corporation (NERC) filed a petition seeking approval of
proposed Reliability Standard BAL-002-3 (Disturbance Control Standard--
Contingency Reserve for Recovery from a Balancing Contingency Event)
and the retirement of currently-effective Reliability Standard BAL-002-
2. NERC submitted proposed Reliability Standard BAL-002-3 in response
to the Commission's directive in Order No. 835 to develop modifications
to Reliability Standard BAL-002-2, Requirement R1 to require balancing
authorities or reserve sharing groups: (1) To notify the reliability
coordinator of the conditions set forth in Requirement R1, Part 1.3.1
preventing it from complying with the 15-minute ACE recovery period;
and (2) to provide the reliability coordinator with its ACE recovery
plan, including a target recovery time.\1\ The NERC petition states
``the proposed modifications to Reliability Standard BAL-002-3 also
intend to clarify that communication with the reliability coordinator
(RC) should proceed in accordance with Energy Emergency Alert
procedures within the EOP Reliability Standards.\2\ This communication
is done under the currently-effective Reliability Standard BAL-002-2.
The communications (and related burden) are already required, and the
additional information is de minimis. Therefore the Commission is not
modifying the burden estimate and is submitting this to OMB as non-
material or non-substantive change to a currently approved collection.

\1\ Disturbance Control Standard--Contingency Reserve for
Recovery from a Balancing Contingency Event Reliability Standard,
Order No. 835, 158 FERC ] 61,030, at P 37 (2017).
\2\ NERC Petition at 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Office of Electric Reliability approved the NERC proposal in a
Delegated Order on September 25, 2018.
Type of Respondents: Balancing authorities and reserve sharing
groups.
Estimate of Annual Burden \3\: According to the NERC Compliance
Registry as of 8/24/2018, there are 99 balancing authorities in the
United States. The Commission bases individual burden estimates on the
time needed for balancing authorities to develop tools needed to
facilitate reporting that are required in the Reliability Standard.
These burden estimates are consistent with estimates for similar tasks
in other Commission-approved Reliability Standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. For
further explanation of information collection burden, refer to 5
Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.
\4\ Reliability Standard BAL-002-2 applies to balancing
authorities and reserve sharing groups. However, the burden
associated with the balancing authorities complying with
Requirements R1 and R3 is not included in this table because that
burden doesn't change and the Commission already accounted for it
under Commission-approved Reliability Standard BAL-002-1.
\5\ The estimated hourly cost (wages plus benefits) is based on
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) information (available at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm and, for benefits, https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm). The hourly cost (wages plus
benefits) for developing and maintaining operating process and plans
is $105.29 and is an average for an electrical engineer (Occupation
code 17-2071, $66.90/hour) and Legal (Occupation code 23-0000, $
$143.68). The hourly cost (wages plus benefits) for record retention
is $39.68 for information and record clerks (Occupation code 43-
4199).
\6\ BA = Balancing Authority; RSG = Reserve Sharing Group.
\7\ This figure of 8 hours/response is an average of the hourly
burden per response for Years 1-3. Year 1 burden: 12 hours per
response; Years 2-3, each: 6 hours/response. The average annual
burden for Years 1-3 is 8 hours/response (or [12 hours + 6 hours + 6
hours] / 3).
