for this proposal. The filing of the EA 

in the Commission’s public record for 

this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s EA. 

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 

7 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. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, 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 5 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE, Washington, DC 20426.

the website that enables subscribers to 

receive email notification when a 

document is added to a subscribed 

docket(s). For assistance with any FERC

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. RC11–6–007] 

North American Electric Reliability 

Corporation; Notice of Staff Review of 

Enforcement Programs 

Commission staff coordinated with 

the staff of the North American Electric 

Reliability Corporation (NERC) to 

conduct the annual oversight of the 

Find, Fix, Track and Report (FFT) 

program, as outlined in the March 15, 

2012 Order,1 and the Compliance 

Exception (CE) Program, as proposed by 

NERC’s September 18, 2015 annual 

Compliance Filing.2 The Commission 

supported NERC’s plan to coordinate 

with Commission staff to review the 

same sample of possible violations, 

thereby reducing the burden on the 

Regional Entities of providing evidence 

for two different samples. Furthermore, 

NERC and Commission staff agreed to 

exclude the Southwest Power Pool 

Regional Entity (SPP–RE) from the 

survey, reducing the burden on SPP–RE 

as it focused efforts on a planned and 

approved termination of its 

responsibilities as a Regional Entity. 

Commission staff reviewed a sample of 

26 FFT possible violations out of 76 FFT 

possible violations posted by NERC 

between October 2016 and September 

2017 and a sample of 100 CE instances 

of noncompliance out of 740 CE 

instances of noncompliance posted by 

NERC between October 2016 and 

September 2017. 

Commission staff believes that the 

FFT and CE programs are meeting 

expectations with limited exceptions. 

Sampling for the 2017 program year 

indicated that the Regional Entities 

appropriately included all but two of 

the 126 sampled possible violations 

(98.4 percent) in the FFT and CE 

programs and that all but one of the 126 

possible violations (99.2 percent) have 

been adequately remediated, with the 

remaining CE to be adequately 

remediated once the ongoing mitigation 

is completed. Commission staff’s sample 

analysis indicated a decreasing number 

of documentation concerns, particularly 

with regard to the quality of the 

information contained in the FFT and/ 

or CE postings. For example, 

Commission staff found that a few FFT 

or CE issues still lacked some of the 

information requested in NERC’s 

Guidance for Self Reports document and 

necessary for the posted FFT or CE.3

This includes information such as start 

or end dates, or root cause. Specifically, 

the identification of root cause in FFTs 

and CEs has improved significantly over 

the past four years, moving from 38 

percent missing an identification of root 

cause to less than 1 percent. 

Commission staff subsequently 

reviewed the supporting information for 

these FFTs or CEs, which provided a 

majority of the missing information. 

Commission staff ultimately agreed with 

the final risk determinations for 124 of 

the 126 samples. Commission staff also 

noted a significant improvement in the 

clear identification of factors affecting 

the risk prior to mitigation (such as 

potential and actual risk), and actual 

harm, which was identified in all 

samples. In addition, Commission staff 

noted that the FFTs and CEs sampled
