SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–725HH, RF Reliability 

Standards. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0256. 

Type of Request: Three-year renewal 

of FERC–725HH without change to the 

reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements. 

Abstract: This collection of 

information pertains to the 

Commission’s compliance with section 

215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 

U.S.C. 824o), which enables the 

Commission to strengthen the reliability 

of the ‘‘bulk-power system.’’ 1 The 

Commission’s implementation of FPA 

section 215 involves review and 

approval of a system of mandatory 

Reliability Standards that are 

established and enforced by an ‘‘Electric 

Reliability Organization’’ (ERO).2 The 

Commission has certified the North 

American Electric Reliability 

Corporation (NERC) as the ERO.3

Reliability Standards that the ERO 

proposes to the Commission may 

include Reliability Standards that are 

proposed to the ERO by a Regional 

Entity.4 A Regional Entity is an entity 

that has been approved by the 

Commission to enforce Reliability 

Standards under delegated authority 

from the ERO.5 On March 17, 2011, the 

Commission approved a regional 

Reliability Standard submitted by the 

ERO that was developed by the 

Reliability First Corporation (RF).6

RF promotes bulk electric system 

reliability in the Eastern 

Interconnection. RF is the Regional 

Entity responsible for compliance 

monitoring and enforcement in the RF 

region. In addition, RF provides an 

environment for the development of 

Reliability Standards and the 

coordination of the operating and 

planning activities of its members as set 

forth in the RF bylaws. 

There is one regional Reliability 

Standard in the RF region. The 

Commission requests renewal of OMB 

clearance for that regional Reliability 

Standard, known as BAL–502–RF–03 

(Planning Resource Adequacy Analysis, 

Assessment and Documentation). 

Type of Respondents: Planning 

coordinators. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 7 The 

estimated burden and cost 8 are as 

follows:
