DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. IC18–21–000] 

Commission Information Collection 

Activities (FERC–725G); Consolidated 

Comment Request; Extension 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Comment request. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission or FERC) is submitting its 

information collection FERC–725G 

(Reliability Standards for the Bulk 

Power System: PRC Reliability 

Standards, OMB Control No. 1902– 

0252) to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for review of the 

information collection requirements. 

As part of this extension request, 

FERC will transfer the information 

collection requirements and burden of 

the FERC–725G1 (OMB Control No. 

1902–0284) and FERC–725G4 (OMB 

Control No. 1902–0282) into FERC– 

725G. FERC–725G1 and FERC–725G4 

information collections will eventually 

be discontinued. 

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 

previously published a Notice in the 

Federal Register on 10/17/2018, 

requesting public comments. The 

Commission received no comments on 

the FERC–725G (or the transfers of 

FERC–725G1 and FERC–725G4) and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–725G (Reliability 

Standards for the Bulk Power System: 

PRC Reliability Standards). 1

OMB Control No.: 1902–0252. 

Type of Request: Request a three-year 

extension of the FERC–725G 

information collection requirements 

(including the information collection 

requirements transferred from the 

FERC–725G1 and FERC–725G4) with no 

changes to the current reporting 

requirements. 

Abstract: The information collected 

by the FERC–725G is required to 

implement the statutory provisions of 

section 215 of the Federal Power Act 

(FPA).2 Section 215 of the FPA 

buttresses the Commission’s efforts to 

strengthen the reliability of the 

interstate bulk power grid. 

The FERC–725G information 

collection currently contains the 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements for the following 

Reliability Standards: 

• PRC–002–2 (Disturbance 

Monitoring and Reporting 

Requirements). 

• PRC–006–2 (Automatic 

Underfrequency Load Shedding). 

• PRC–012–2 (Remedial Action 

Schemes). 

• PRC–019–1 (Coordination of 

Generating Unit or Plant Capabilities, 

Voltage Regulating Controls, and 

Protection). 

• PRC–023–4 (Transmission Relay 

Loadability). 

• PRC–024–1 (Generator Frequency 

and Voltage Protective Relay Settings). 

• PRC–025–1 (Generator Relay 

Loadability). 

• PRC–026–1 (Relay Performance 

During Stable Power Swings). 

• PRC–027–1 (Coordination of 

Protection Systems for Performance 

During Faults). 

Additionally, the information 

collection requirements of the following 

Reliability Standards will be transferred 

into FERC–725G:

3This standard is currently contained in the 

FERC–725G1 information collection. FERC–725G1 

will eventually be discontinued. 

4This standard is currently contained in the 

FERC–725G4 information collection. FERC–725G4 

will eventually be discontinued. 

5Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal agency. For further 

explanation of what is included in the information 

collection burden, refer to 5 Code of Federal 

Regulations 1320.3. 

6The hourly cost (for salary plus benefits) uses 

the figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 

2017. Unless otherwise specified, this figure 

includes salary (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/ 

naics2_22.htm) and benefits http://www.bls.gov/ 

news.release/ecec.nr0.htm) for an Electrical 

Engineer (Occupation Code: 17–2071, $66.90/hour) 

and an Information and Record Clerk (Occupation 

Code: 43–4199, $39.68/hour). All of the reporting 

requirements use the electrical engineer rate for cost 

calculation. Similarly, all of the record-keeping 

requirements use the information and record clerk 

rate for cost calculation. 

7 GO = generator owner, TO = transmission 

owner, DP = distribution planner; PC = planning 

coordinator, TP = transmission planners, RC = 

Reliability Coordinator. 

8The average costs are rounded to the nearest 

dollar. 

9Reliability Standard PRC–004–5(i) is an updated 

standard that neither added nor removed reporting 

and record keeping requirements (and 

corresponding burden) as compared to Reliability 

Standards PRC–004–3 and PRC–004–4. 

10The reporting requirements for Reliability 

Standard PRC–004–5(i) are being reduced by 2 

hours/response (annually, to 8 hrs. rather than 10) 

due to completion of a one-time requirement 

imposed by the Order in Docket No. RD14–14–000. 

11This hourly figure was revised from the 60-day 

public notice from 0 hours/response to 1 hour/ 

response. This results in a total annual burden of 

738 hours for Reliability Standard PRC–019–2. 

12This hourly figure was revised from the 60-day 

public notice from 0 hours/response to 1 hour/ 

response. This results in a total annual burden of 

738 hours for Reliability Standard PRC–024–1. 

• PRC–004–5(i) 3 (Protection System 

Misoperation Identification and 

Correction) and 

• PRC–010–2 4 (Undervoltage Load 

Shedding). 

Each of these Reliability Standards 

has three components that impose 

burden upon affected industry: 

• Requirements (e.g., denoted in each 

Reliability Standard as R1, R2. . .). 

• Measures (e.g., denoted in each 

Reliability Standard as M1, M2. . .). 

• Evidence Retention. 

These three components can be 

reviewed for the Reliability Standards in 

NERC petitions in FERC’s eLibrary 

system (http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ 

elibrary.asp) or on NERC’s own website 

(www.nerc.com). 

Type of Respondents: Transmission 

owners, generator owners, distribution 

providers, planning coordinators and 

transmission planners. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 5 The 

Commission estimates the annual public 

reporting burden and cost 6 for the 

information collection as:
