Abstract: In a petition dated March 6,

(ii) redundancy and diverse routing of
transmission operator, balancing
authority, and reliability coordinator
data exchange capabilities; and (iii)
testing of alternative or less frequently
used data exchange capabilities. In an
order on April 17, 2017,1 the
implementation of Reliability Standard
TOP–001–4 and the retirement of
Reliability Standard TOP–001–3 was
approved.
Type of Respondents: Transmission
Operators (TOP) and Balancing
Authorities (BA).
Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden and cost as follows.
1 The Delegated Letter Order is available in the

2 Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to

estimates are based on the NERC Compliance Registry of 7/17/2020, which indicates there are 321 entities registered as TOPs and 97 entities registered as
BAs within the United States. One entity may be registered as having several roles.
4 The hourly cost figures, for salary plus benefits, for the reliability standards are based on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) information (at https://www.bls.gov/oes/
current/naics2_22.htm), as of May 2019. For reporting requirements, an electrical engineer (code 17–2071) is $70.19/hour; for the recordkeeping requirements, an information and record clerk (code 43–4199) is $41.03/hour.
5 Requirement R21 (applicable to TOPs in ongoing yrs.) covers quarterly testing and associated reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Requirement R24 (applicable to BAs in ongoing yrs.) covers quarterly testing and associated engineering and recordkeeping requirements.
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimates of the burden and cost of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
