Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 22 / Monday, February 3, 2020 / Notices
with no changes to the current reporting
and recordkeeping requirements.
Abstract: The Regional Reliability
standard PRC–006–NPCC–1 (Automatic
Underfrequency Load Shedding)
provides regional requirements for
Automatic Underfrequency Load
Shedding to applicable entities in
NPCC. UFLS requirements were in place
at a continent-wide level and within
NPCC for many years prior to the
implementation of federally mandated
reliability standards in 2007. NPCC and
its members think that a region-wide,
fully coordinated single set of UFLS
requirements is necessary to create an
effective and efficient UFLS program,
and their experience has supported that
belief.
Information collection burden for
Reliability Standard PRC–006–NPCC–01
is based on the time needed for
planning coordinators and generator
owners to incrementally gather data, run
studies, and analyze study results to
design or update the UFLS programs
that are required in the regional
Reliability Standard (in addition to the
requirements of the NERC Reliability
Standard PRC–006–3). There is also
burden on the generator owners to
maintain data.
Type of Respondent: Generator
Owners and Planning Coordinators.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
number of respondents is based on
NERC’s Registry as of July 26, 2019.
Entities registered for more than one
applicable function type have been
accounted for in the figures below. The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden and cost 2 for the
information collection as:
