Enforcement Programs
Commission staff coordinated with
the staff of the North American Electric

conduct the annual oversight of the
Find, Fix, Track and Report (FFT)
program, as outlined in the March 15,
2012 Order,1 and the Compliance
Exception (CE) Program, as proposed by
NERC’s September 18, 2015 annual
Compliance Filing and accepted by
delegated letter order.2
Commission staff reviewed a sample
of 34 of 223 FFTs and 31 of 946 CEs
posted by NERC between October 2021
and September 2022.
Commission staff found that the FFT
and CE programs are meeting
expectations, with limited exceptions.

adequately remediated and the root

reviewed the supporting information for
these FFTs or CEs and agreed with the
final risk determinations for all 65
noncompliances, which clearly
identified the factors affecting the risk
prior to mitigation (such as potential
and actual risk) and actual harm.
Further, no FFTs or CEs sampled
contained any material
misrepresentations by the registered
entities. Commission staff found that the
Regional Entities appropriately
identified 64 of the 65 noncompliances
as appropriate to be processed as FFTs
and CEs. Nevertheless, there was one
identified instance where an FFT would
have been more appropriately processed
as a spreadsheet notice of penalty. Staff
also noted in three instances that the
posted description of the
noncompliances were incomplete or
had minor errors.

B. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
Under the Toxic Substances Control
Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., a
chemical substance may be either an
‘‘existing’’ chemical substance or a
‘‘new’’ chemical substance. Any
chemical substance that is not on EPA’s
TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances
(TSCA Inventory) is classified as a ‘‘new
chemical substance,’’ while a chemical
substance that is listed on the TSCA
Inventory is classified as an ‘‘existing
chemical substance.’’ (See TSCA section
3(11).) For more information about the
TSCA Inventory please go to: https://
www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.
Any person who intends to
manufacture (including import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt
commercial purpose, or to manufacture
or process a chemical substance in a
non-exempt manner for a use that EPA
has determined is a significant new use,
is required by TSCA section 5 to
provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN, or
SNUN, as appropriate, before initiating
the activity. EPA will review the notice,
make a risk determination on the
chemical substance or significant new
use, and take appropriate action as
described in TSCA section 5(a)(3).
TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA
to allow persons, upon application and
under appropriate restrictions, to
manufacture or process a new chemical
substance, or a chemical substance
subject to a significant new use rule
(SNUR) issued under TSCA section
5(a)(2), for ‘‘test marketing’’ purposes,
upon a showing that the manufacture,
processing, distribution in commerce,
use, and disposal of the chemical will
not present an unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment.
This is referred to as a test marketing
exemption, or TME. For more
information about the requirements
applicable to a new chemical go to:
https://www.epa.gov/chemicals-undertsca.
Under TSCA sections 5 and 8 and
EPA regulations, EPA is required to
publish in the Federal Register certain
information, including notice of receipt
of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including
amended notices and test information);
an exemption application under 40 CFR
part 725 (biotech exemption); an
application for a TME, both pending
and concluded; NOCs to manufacture a
new chemical substance; and a periodic
status report on the new chemical
substances that are currently under EPA
review or have recently concluded
review.
