Commission Information Collection 

Activities (FERC–725B); Comment 

Request; Submitted for OMB Review 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: 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 or 

FERC) has submitted the information 

collection described below to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review of the information collection 

requirements. 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 

published a Notice in the Federal 

Register (75 FR 65618, 10/26/2010) 

requesting public comments. In

the Federal Register (76 FR 19333, 4/7/ 

2011) indicating submission to OMB of 

the information collection described 

below and that it had not received any 

comments regarding the collection of 

information thus far. Subsequently, 

FERC staff became aware of a comment 

from the Transmission Agency of 

Northern California (TANC) that had 

been submitted in a timely manner but 

internally was indexed incorrectly. On 

May 3, 2011 the Commission issued a 

notice extending the comment period 1

(on the notice published April 7, 2011) 

to June 23, 2011. The Commission is 

revising its submission to OMB to 

reflect receipt of the comment.

information are due by June 30, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Address comments on the

Commission Desk Officer. Comments to 

OMB should be filed electronically, c/o

submission guidelines at http://

not available for Docket No. IC11–725B– 

001, due to a system issue.

through FERC’s homepage using the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collected by the FERC– 

725B, Reliability Standards for Critical 

Infrastructure Protection (OMB Control 

No. 1902–0248), is required to 

implement the statutory provisions of 

section 215 of the Federal Power Act 

(FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824o). On January 18, 

2008, the Commission issued Order No. 

706, approving eight Critical 

Infrastructure Protection Reliability 

Standards (CIP Standards) submitted by 

the North American Electric Reliability 

Corporation (NERC) for Commission 

approval.2

The CIP Standards require certain 

users, owners, and operators of the 

Bulk-Power System to comply with 

specific requirements to safeguard 

critical cyber assets.3 These standards 

help protect the nation’s Bulk-Power 

System against potential disruptions 

from cyber attacks.4 The CIP Standards 

include one actual reporting 

requirement and several recordkeeping 

requirements. Specifically, CIP–008–1 

requires responsible entities to report 

cyber security incidents to the 

Electricity Sector-Information Sharing 

and Analysis Center (ES–ISAC). In 

addition, the eight CIP Standards
