SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Mandatory Reliability Standards
for the SERC Region.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0260.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–725K information
collection requirements with no changes
to the current reporting requirements.
Abstract: Section 215 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA) requires a
Commission-certified Electric
Reliability Organization (ERO) to
develop mandatory and enforceable
Reliability Standards, which are subject
to Commission review and approval.
Once approved, the Reliability
Standards may be enforced by NERC,
subject to Commission oversight, or by
the Commission independently.
Reliability Standards that NERC
proposes to the Commission may
include Reliability Standards that are
proposed by a Regional Entity to be
effective in that region. In Order No.
672, the Commission noted that:
PO 00000

As a general matter, we will accept the
following two types of regional differences,
provided they are otherwise just, reasonable,
not unduly discriminatory or preferential and
in the public interest, as required under the
statute: (1) A regional difference that is more
stringent than the continent-wide Reliability
Standard, including a regional difference that
addresses matters that the continent-wide
Reliability Standard does not; and (2) a
regional Reliability Standard that is
necessitated by a physical difference in the
Bulk-Power System.
When NERC reviews a regional
Reliability Standard that would be
applicable on an interconnection-wide
basis and that has been proposed by a
Regional Entity organized on an
interconnection-wide basis, NERC must
rebuttably presume that the regional
Reliability Standard is just, reasonable,
not unduly discriminatory or
preferential, and in the public interest.
In turn, the Commission must give ‘‘due
weight’’ to the technical expertise of
NERC and of a Regional Entity
organized on an interconnection-wide
basis.
On April 19, 2007, the Commission
accepted delegation agreements between
NERC and each of the eight Regional
Entities. In the order, the Commission
accepted SERC as a Regional Entity
organized on less than an
interconnection-wide basis. As a
Regional Entity, SERC oversees BulkPower System reliability within the
SERC Region, which covers a
geographic area of approximately
560,000 square miles in a sixteen-state
area in the southeastern and central
United States (all of Missouri, Alabama,
Tennessee, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and
portions of Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky,
Virginia, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Texas and Florida). The
SERC Region is currently geographically
divided into five subregions that are
identified as Southeastern, Central,
VACAR, Delta, and Gateway.
Type of Respondents: Entities
registered with the North American
Electric Reliability Corporation (within
the SERC region).
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the annual
reporting burden and cost for the
information collection as:
1 ‘‘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 what is included in the information
collection burden, refer to 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.
