Once approved, the Reliability Standards may be enforced by the ERO subject to Commission oversight, or the Commission can independently enforce Reliability Standards.2 The information collected by the FERC–725G is required to implement the statutory provisions of section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA).2 Section 215 of the FPA buttresses the Commission’s efforts to strengthen the reliability of the interstate bulk power grid. The FERC–725G information collection currently contains the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the following Reliability Standards: PRC–002–2, PRC– 006–5, PRC–012–2, PRC–019–2, PRC– 023–4, PRC–024–1, PRC–025–2, PRC– 026–1, and PRC–027–1. • PRC–002–2 Disturbance Monitoring and Reporting Requirements The purpose is to have adequate data available to facilitate analysis of Bulk Electric System (BES) Disturb. • PRC–006–5 Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding To establish design and documentation requirements for automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding (UFLS) programs to arrest declining frequency, assist recovery of frequency following underfrequency events and provide last resort system preservation measures. • PRC–012–2 Remedial Action Schemes To ensure that Remedial Action Schemes (RAS) do not introduce unintentional or unacceptable reliability risks to the Bulk Electric System (BES). • PRC–019–2 Coordination of Generating Unit or Plant Capabilities, Voltage Regulating Controls, and Protection The purpose is to verify coordination of generating unit Facility or synchronous condenser voltage 1 Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109–58, Title XII, Subtitle A, 119 Stat. 594, 941 (codified at 16 U.S.C. 824o). 2 16 U.S.C. 824o(e)(3).
