Record of Decision and Wetland/Floodplain Statement of Findings for the W.A. Parish Post-Combustion CO2
Document Number: 2013-12280
Type: Notice
Date: 2013-05-23
Agency: Department of Energy
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces its decision to provide cost-shared funding to NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG) for the W.A. Parish Post-Combustion CO2 Capture and Sequestration Project (Parish PCCS Project) under DOE's Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) Program. DOE prepared an environmental impact statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with DOE's proposed action of providing financial assistance for the Parish PCCS Project. The EIS also evaluated the impacts associated with construction and operation of the proposed Parish PCCS Project, as submitted by NRG. DOE's proposed action is to provide limited financial assistance through a cooperative agreement with NRG for a new post- combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and compression system that would be added to Unit 8 of the existing W.A. Parish power plant, with the captured CO2 piped to the West Ranch oil field for use in enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
Reliability Standards for Geomagnetic Disturbances
Document Number: 2013-12141
Type: Rule
Date: 2013-05-23
Agency: Department of Energy, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) directs the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization, to submit to the Commission for approval proposed Reliability Standards that address the impact of geomagnetic disturbances (GMD) on the reliable operation of the Bulk-Power System. The Commission directs NERC to implement the directive in two stages. In the first stage, NERC must submit, within six months of the effective date of this Final Rule, one or more Reliability Standards that require owners and operators of the Bulk-Power System to develop and implement operational procedures to mitigate the effects of GMDs consistent with the reliable operation of the Bulk-Power System. In the second stage, NERC must submit, within 18 months of the effective date of this Final Rule, one or more Reliability Standards that require owners and operators of the Bulk-Power System to conduct initial and on-going assessments of the potential impact of benchmark GMD events on Bulk-Power System equipment and the Bulk-Power System as a whole. The Second Stage GMD Reliability Standards must identify benchmark GMD events that specify what severity GMD events a responsible entity must assess for potential impacts on the Bulk-Power System. If the assessments identify potential impacts from benchmark GMD events, the Reliability Standards should require owners and operators to develop and implement a plan to protect against instability, uncontrolled separation, or cascading failures of the Bulk-Power System, caused by damage to critical or vulnerable Bulk-Power System equipment, or otherwise, as a result of a benchmark GMD event. The development of this plan cannot be limited to considering operational procedures or enhanced training alone, but will, subject to the potential impacts of the benchmark GMD events identified in the assessments, contain strategies for protecting against the potential impact of GMDs based on factors such as the age, condition, technical specifications, system configuration, or location of specific equipment. These strategies could, for example, include automatically blocking geomagnetically induced currents from entering the Bulk-Power System, instituting specification requirements for new equipment, inventory management, isolating certain equipment that is not cost effective to retrofit, or a combination thereof.
Transmission Planning Reliability Standards
Document Number: 2013-12139
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2013-05-23
Agency: Department of Energy, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
On April 19, 2012, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) that proposed to remand proposed Reliability Standard TPL-001-2, submitted by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). Proposed Reliability Standard TPL-001-2 includes a provision that would allow a transmission planner to plan for non- consequential load loss following a single contingency provided that the plan is documented and vetted in an open and transparent stakeholder process. The Commission explained in the NOPR that the proposed Reliability Standard does not meet the statutory criteria for approval because the provision pertaining to planned non-consequential load loss is vague and unenforceable. On February 28, 2013, NERC submitted proposed Reliability Standard TPL-001-4, which further modifies the planned non-consequential load loss provision. The Commission believes that the proposed modifications satisfy the concerns set forth in the NOPR. Accordingly, the Commission supplements the NOPR by proposing to approve Reliability Standard TPL- 001-4, which supersedes proposed Reliability Standard TPL-001-2.

Electric Reliability Organization Interpretation of Specific Requirements of the Disturbance Control Performance Standard
Document Number: 2013-12131
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2013-05-22
Agency: Department of Energy, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) proposes to remand the proposed interpretation of Reliability Standard BAL-002-1, Disturbance Control Performance, Requirements R4 and R5, submitted to the Commission for approval by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, the Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization. Specifically, the interpretation addresses whether Balancing Authorities and Reserve Sharing Groups are subject to enforcement actions for failing to restore Area Control Error within the 15-minute Disturbance Recovery Period for Reportable Disturbances that exceed the most severe single Contingency. The Commission proposes to remand the proposed interpretation because it changes a requirement of the Reliability Standard, thereby exceeding the permissible scope for interpretations.
