SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–725F Mandatory 

Reliability Standards for Nuclear Plant 

Interface Coordination 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0249 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–725F information 

collection requirements with no changes 

to the reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The Commission requires 

the information collected by the FERC– 

725F to implement the statutory 

provisions of section 215 of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824o). On 

August 8, 2005, the Electricity 

Modernization Act of 2005, which is 

Title XII, Subtitle A, of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), was 

enacted into law.1 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.2

On February 3, 2006, the Commission 

issued Order No. 672, implementing 

section 215 of the FPA.3 Pursuant to 

Order No. 672, the Commission certified 

one organization, North American 

Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), 

as the ERO. The Reliability Standards 

developed by the ERO and approved by 

the Commission apply to users, owners 

and operators of the Bulk-Power System 

as set forth in each Reliability Standard. 

On November 19, 2007, NERC filed its 

petition for Commission approval of the 

Nuclear Plant Interface Coordination 

Reliability Standard, designated NUC– 

001–1. In Order No. 716, issued October 

16, 2008, the Commission approved the 

standard while also directing certain
