Commission Information Collection Activities, Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Submitted for OMB Review
In compliance with the requirements of Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3507, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) has submitted the information collection described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review of this information collection requirement. Any interested person may file comments directly with OMB and should address a copy of those comments to the Commission as explained below. The Commission received no comments in response to an earlier Federal Register notice of November 15, 2007 (72 FR 64200) and has noted this fact in its submission to OMB.
Mandatory Reliability Standard for Nuclear Plant Interface Coordination
Pursuant to section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Commission proposes to approve the Nuclear Plant Interface Coordination Reliability Standard developed by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). The proposed Reliability Standard requires a nuclear power plant operator and its suppliers of back-up power and related transmission and distribution services to coordinate concerning nuclear licensing requirements for safe nuclear plant operation and shutdown and system operating limits. The Commission also proposes to accept four related definitions for addition to the NERC Glossary of Terms and to direct various changes to proposed violation risk factors, which measure the potential impact of violations of the Reliability Standard on the reliability of the Bulk-Power System. The proposed rule would benefit the Reliable Operation of the Bulk-Power System by facilitating the provision of off-site power to ensure reliable and safe nuclear power plant operation and shutdown.
Standards of Conduct for Transmission Providers
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is proposing to revise its Standards of Conduct for transmission providers to make them clearer and to refocus the rules on the areas where there is the greatest potential for affiliate abuse. By doing so, we will make compliance less elusive and facilitate Commission enforcement. We also propose to conform the Standards to the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation v. FERC, 468 F.3d 831 (D.C. Cir. 2006). On January 18, 2007, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (initial NOPR), and received both initial and reply comments from interested persons. After giving consideration to these comments and to our own experience in enforcing the Standards, the Commission believes it to be necessary and appropriate to modify the approach proposed in the initial NOPR. The Commission is therefore issuing a new NOPR, and invites all interested persons to submit comments in response to the regulations proposed herein.
