SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–725P1 (Mandatory
Reliability Standards: PRC–005–6
Reliability Standard).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0280.
Abstract: The Commission requires
the information collected by the FERC–
725P1 to implement the statutory
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
provisions of section 215 of the Federal
Power Act (FPA). On August 8, 2005,
Congress enacted into law the
Electricity Modernization Act of 2005,
which is Title XII, Subtitle A, of the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005).
EPAct 2005 added a new section 215 to
the FPA, which required a Commissioncertified 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 the ERO subject to
Commission oversight, or the
Commission can independently enforce
Reliability Standards.
On February 3, 2006, the Commission
issued Order No. 672, implementing
section 215 of the FPA. Pursuant to
Order No. 672, the Commission certified
one organization, North American
Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC),
as the ERO. The Reliability Standards
developed by the ERO and approved by
the Commission apply to users, owners
and operators of the Bulk-Power System
as set forth in each Reliability Standard.
On November 13, 2015, the North
American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC) filed a petition for
Commission approval of proposed
Reliability Standard PRC–005–6
(Protection System, Automatic
Reclosing, and Sudden Pressure
Relaying Maintenance). NERC also
requested approval of the proposed
implementation plan for PRC–005–6,
and the retirement of previous versions
of Reliability Standard PRC–005.
NERC explained in its petition that
Reliability Standard PRC–005–6
represents an improvement upon the
most recently-approved version of the
standard, PRC–005–4. FERC approved
the proposed Reliability Standard PRC–
005–6 on December 18, 2015.
Type of Respondent: Planning
Coordinators (PCs) and Generator
Owners (GOs).
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:
1 ‘‘Burden’’ is 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 Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations
1320.3.
2 Entities affected by the PRC–005–6 Reliability
Standard are registered to serve any of the following
roles:
• PC = Planning Coordinators;
• GO = Generator Owners.
Some entities are registered to serve both roles.
3 The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits)
provided in this section is based on the salary
