Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–725G1 information
collection requirements.
Abstract: The Commission collects
information under FERC–725G1 in
accordance with section 215 of the
Federal Power Act (FPA) 1 and 18 CFR
parts 39 and 40. Section 215 of the FPA
gives the Commission and the North
American Electric Reliability
Corporation (as the Commissionapproved Electric Reliability
Organization) to establish and enforce
reliability standards for all users,
owners, and operators of the bulk-power
system.2 Once approved, the Reliability
Standards may be enforced by the
Electric Reliability Organization subject
to Commission oversight, or by the
Commission independently.3
Reliability Standard PRC–004–6
requires transmission owners, generator
owners, and distribution providers to
identify and correct causes of misoperations of certain protection systems
for bulk-power system elements. It also
requires retention of evidence of
misoperations for a minimum of 12
calendar months.
Types of Respondents: Transmission
Owners, Generator Owners, and
Distribution Providers.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates 930 responses
annually, and per-response burdens of
16 hours and $1,130.72.4 The total
estimated burdens per year are 930
responses, 14,880 hours, and $1,051,570
(rounded). These burdens are itemized
in the following table:
Based on our previous experience with this
information collection, we are estimating that
approximately half of the 1,861 potential
respondents annually will have a reportable
misoperation, i.e., 930 (rounded) responses per year
for FERC–725G1.

of an Electrical Engineer (17–2071) $79.31/hr.,
79.31 × .75 = 59.4825 ($59.48-rounded) ($59.48/
hour) and 25% of an Information and Record Clerk
(43–4199) $44.74/hr., $44.74 × .25% = 11.185
($11.19 rounded) ($11.19/hour), for a total ($59.48
+ $11.19 = $70.67/hour).
6 If OMB renews FERC–725G4, the Commission
subsequently may consider requesting that OMB
combine that information collection activity with
FERC–725G1. Such action would be administrative
only and would not indicate the discontinuation of
the information collection requirements in FERC–
725G4.
7 ‘‘Load shedding’’ means disconnecting
consumers from the grid to prevent demand from
exceeding supply, which can cause widespread grid
collapse. A ‘‘UVLS Program’’ provides for automatic
load shedding, utilizing voltage inputs, in specific
circumstances and locations.

Standard PRC–005–6 requires that
transmission and generation protection
systems affecting the reliability of the
Bulk-Power System are maintained and
tested.
Types of Respondents: Distribution
providers, generator owners and
transmission owners Entities.
8 ‘‘UVLS Entities,’’ as defined at the NERC
website at https://www.nerc.com/pa/Stand/
Reliability%20Standards/PRC-010-2.pdf, are
distribution providers and transmission owners
responsible for the ownership, operation, or control
of UVLS equipment, as required by a UVLS
Program.
9 Using the November 20, 2024, NERC
compliance registration information for only unique
US entities that are Transmission Owners (325) and
Distribution Providers (298), the number of
potential respondents is 623, considering overlap
between functions. However, not every entity has
an under-voltage load shedding program.
Approximately five percent of the potential
respondents have such a program. Therefore, we
estimate 31 (rounded) responses per year for FERC–
725G4.

Abstract: 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).14
EPAct 2005 added a new section 215 to
the FPA, which required a Commission-
certified 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.15
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.

725G4 (OMB Control No. 1902-0282) and FERC-725P1 (OMB Control No. 1902-
0280) into the FERC-725G (OMB Control No. 1902-0252).
FERC-725G1
Title: Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk-Power System:
Reliability Standard PRC-004-6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 16 U.S.C.824o.
\2\ As defined at 16 U.S.C. 824o(a)(1) and 18 CFR 39.1, the term
``bulk-power system'' means facilities and control systems necessary
for operating an interconnected electric energy transmission network
(or any portion thereof), and electric energy from generating
facilities needed to maintain transmission system reliability. The
term does not include facilities used in the local distribution of
electric energy.
\3\ 16 U.S.C. 824o(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OMB Control No.: 1902-0284.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Using the November 20, 2024, NERC compliance registration
information for entities that are Generator Owners, Transmission
Owners, and Distribution Providers (in the US), the number of
potential respondents is 1,861. However, not every entity will have
a misoperation event during a year. Based on our previous experience
with this information collection, we are estimating that
approximately half of the 1,861 potential respondents annually will
have a reportable misoperation, i.e., 930 (rounded) responses per
year for FERC-725G1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-725G1 information
collection requirements.
Abstract: The Commission collects information under FERC-725G1 in
accordance with section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) \1\ and 18
CFR parts 39 and 40. Section 215 of the FPA gives the Commission and
the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (as the Commission-
approved Electric Reliability Organization) to establish and enforce
reliability standards for all users, owners, and operators of the bulk-
power system.\2\ Once approved, the Reliability Standards may be
enforced by the Electric Reliability Organization subject to Commission
oversight, or by the Commission independently.\3\
Reliability Standard PRC-004-6 requires transmission owners,
generator owners, and distribution providers to identify and correct
causes of mis-operations of certain protection systems for bulk-power
system elements. It also requires retention of evidence of
misoperations for a minimum of 12 calendar months.
Types of Respondents: Transmission Owners, Generator Owners, and
Distribution Providers.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates 930 responses
annually, and per-response burdens of 16 hours and $1,130.72.\4\ The
total estimated burdens per year are 930 responses, 14,880 hours, and
$1,051,570 (rounded). These burdens are itemized in the following
table:

(rounded).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FERC-725G4
Title: Mandatory Reliability Standards: Reliability Standard PRC-
010-2 (Under Voltage Load Shedding).
OMB Control No.: 1902-0282.
Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-725G4 information
collection requirements.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits) is a
combination based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as of
2024, for 75% of the average of an Electrical Engineer (17-2071)
$79.31/hr., 79.31 x .75 = 59.4825 ($59.48-rounded) ($59.48/hour) and
25% of an Information and Record Clerk (43-4199) $44.74/hr., $44.74
x .25% = 11.185 ($11.19 rounded) ($11.19/hour), for a total ($59.48
+ $11.19 = $70.67/hour).
\6\ If OMB renews FERC-725G4, the Commission subsequently may
consider requesting that OMB combine that information collection
activity with FERC-725G1. Such action would be administrative only
and would not indicate the discontinuation of the information
collection requirements in FERC-725G4.
\7\ ``Load shedding'' means disconnecting consumers from the
grid to prevent demand from exceeding supply, which can cause
widespread grid collapse. A ``UVLS Program'' provides for automatic
load shedding, utilizing voltage inputs, in specific circumstances
and locations.
\8\ ``UVLS Entities,'' as defined at the NERC website at https://www.nerc.com/pa/Stand/Reliability%20Standards/PRC-010-2.pdf, are
distribution providers and transmission owners responsible for the
ownership, operation, or control of UVLS equipment, as required by a
UVLS Program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract: The Commission collects information under FERC-725G4 in
accordance with section 215 of the FPA and 18 CFR parts 39 and 40.
Reliability Standard PRC-010-2 requires respondents to submit date-
stamped documentation of their compliance with the relevant UVLS
Program.\7\
Types of Respondents: UVLS Entities.\8\
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates 25 responses
annually, and per-response burdens of 48 hours and $4,176.\9\ The total
estimated burdens per year are 25 responses, 1,200 hours, and $104,400.
These burdens are itemized in the following table:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FERC-725P1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ Using the November 20, 2024, NERC compliance registration
information for only unique US entities that are Transmission Owners
(325) and Distribution Providers (298), the number of potential
respondents is 623, considering overlap between functions. However,
not every entity has an under-voltage load shedding program.
Approximately five percent of the potential respondents have such a
program. Therefore, we estimate 31 (rounded) responses per year for
FERC-725G4.
\10\ The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits) is a
combination based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as of
2024, for 75% of the average of an Electrical Engineer (17-2071)
$79.31/hr., 79.31 x .75 = 59.4825 ($59.48-rounded) ($59.48/hour) and
25% of an Information and Record Clerk (43-4199) $44.74/hr., $44.74
x .25% = 11.185 ($11.19 rounded) ($11.19/hour), for a total ($59.48
+ $11.19 = $70.67/hour).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Mandatory Reliability Standards: Reliability Standard PRC-
005-6 (Protection System, Automatic Reclosing, and Sudden Pressure
Relaying Maintenance).
OMB Control No.: 1902-0280.
Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-725P1 information
collection requirements.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ If OMB renews FERC-725P1, the Commission subsequently may
consider requesting that OMB combine that information collection
activity with FERC-725G. Such action would be administrative only
and would not indicate the discontinuation of the information
collection requirements in FERC-725P1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract: The Commission collects information under FERC-725P1 in
accordance with section 215 of the FPA and 18 CFR parts 39 and 40.
Reliability Standard PRC-005-6 requires that transmission and
generation protection systems affecting the reliability of the Bulk-
Power System are maintained and tested.
Types of Respondents: Distribution providers, generator owners and
transmission owners Entities.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates 1,861 responses
annually, and per-response burdens of 2 hours and $141.34.\12\ The
total estimated burdens per year are 1,861 responses, 3,722 hours, and
$263,033.74. These burdens are itemized in the following table:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ Using the November 20, 2024, NERC compliance registration
information for only unique US entities that are Distribution
Providers (298), generator owners (1,238) and transmission owners
(325). Therefore, we estimate 1,861 (rounded) responses per year for
FERC-725P1.

Abstract: 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).\14\ EPAct 2005 added a
new section 215 to the FPA, which required a Commission-certified
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.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
