5The difference between the two is that FAC–10– 

1 deals with SOL methodology for the planning 

horizon and FAC–011–1 with SOL methodology for 

the operating horizon. 

6This figure comes from NERC’s compliance 

registry matrix which was updated on 10/27/10 and 

includes all entities registered as a Planning 

Authority, Reliability Coordinator, Transmission 

Planner, or Transmission Operator functions that 

are responsible for compliance with FAC–014–2. 

7Hours are attributable to developing SOLs. 

Recordkeeping pertains to the documentation to be 

maintained for audits.

reliability coordinator.5 Reliability 

standard FAC–014–2 requires the 

reliability coordinator, planning 

authority, transmission operator, and 

transmission planner to verify 

compliance through self-certification 

submitted to the compliance monitor 

annually. These entities must also 

document that they have developed 

SOLs consistent with the applicable 

SOL methodology and that they have 

provided SOLs to entities identified in 

Requirement 5 of the reliability 

standard. Further, the planning 

authority must maintain a list of 

multiple contingencies and their 

associated stability limits. 

Action: The Commission is requesting 

a three-year extension of the FERC– 

725D reporting requirements, with no 

changes. 

Burden Statement: The estimated 

annual public reporting burden follows: 

Data collection 

No. of respondents 6

(1) 

Average No. 

of responses 

per respondent 

(2) 

Average burden hours per 

response 

(3) 

Total annual burden hours

FERC–725D ........................................................ 470 1 Reporting: 7 90 ...................... Reporting: 42,300 

Recordkeeping: 210 .............. Recordkeeping: 98,700 

Total .............................................................. 470 141,000 

The estimated average annualized 

cost is increased from the previous 

estimate due to an increase in the 

number of entities who are registered for 

the Planning Authority, Reliability 

Coordinator, Transmission Planner, and 

Transmission Operator functions. The 

new estimated average annualized cost 

is $6,640,500 ($14,128.72 per 

respondent), as shown here: 

• Reporting: 8 42,300 hours @ $95/ 

hour = $4,018,500. 

• Recordkeeping: 9 98,700 hours @ 

$26/hour = $2,566,200. 

Storage: 10 1,800 sq. ft. @ $31/sq. ft. = 

$55,800. 

The reporting burden includes the 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose, or provide the information 

including: (1) Reviewing instructions; 

(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and 

utilizing technology and systems for the 

purposes of collecting, validating, 

verifying, processing, maintaining, 

disclosing and providing information; 

(3) adjusting the existing ways to 

comply with any previously applicable 

instructions and requirements; (4) 

training personnel to respond to a 

collection of information; (5) searching 

data sources; (6) completing and 

reviewing the collection of information; 

and (7) transmitting, or otherwise 

disclosing the information. 

The estimate of cost for respondents 

is based upon salaries for professional 

and clerical support, as well as direct 

and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs 

include all costs directly attributable to 

providing this information, such as 

administrative costs and the cost for 

information technology. Indirect or 

overhead costs are costs incurred by an 

organization in support of its mission. 

These costs apply to activities which 

benefit the whole organization rather 

than any one particular function or 

activity. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Commission, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimates of the burden of 

the proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collections of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g. permitting electronic submission of 

responses.

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

seven copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

The Commission encourages 

electronic submission of protests and 

interventions in lieu of paper using the 

‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://www.ferc.gov. 

Persons unable to file electronically 

should submit an original and seven 

copies of the protest or intervention to 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 

Washington, DC 20426. There is an 

‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the Web site 

that enables subscribers to receive email notification when a document is 

added to a subscribed docket(s).
