1 North American Electric Reliability Corp., 143 FERC ¶61,252 (2013).

2 Although distribution providers are included as responsible entities under the revised Reliability Standard, their reporting obligations will be de minimis, as explained in the Guidelines and Technical Basis attached to the revised standard. See NERC Petition, Ex. B at 13, Docket No. RD13– 3–000 (Dec. 31, 2012). For purposes of this analysis, however, we included distribution providers as part of the assumed number of reports per year.

3 These entity types are contained in the North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s compliance registry. See http://www.nerc.com/ page.php?cid=3 | 25 for more information. 4 Burden 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, reference 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3. Melchert at the telephone number listed above.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Title: FERC–725A, Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk Power System.

OMB Control No.: 1902–0244. Type of Request: Three-year approval of the FERC–725A information collection requirements.

Abstract: The change in thisinformation collection relates to FERCapproved Reliability Standard EOP– 004–2—Event Reporting. Rather than creating entirely new obligations to report a system disturbance, the revised Reliability Standard, EOP–004–2, primarily clarifies the thresholds that can trigger a reporting obligation, and reduces the reporting burden for certain individual respondents due to the use of a simplified form in Attachment 2. However, the revised Reliability Standard would increase the reporting burden for some individual entities, because it would apply for the first time to transmission owners and generator owners. We do not anticipate a large increase in the number of respondents because the existing Reliability Standard applies to transmission operators and generator operators, which includes the majority of the entities registered as transmission owners and generator owners.

Our estimate below regarding the number of respondents is based on the NERC compliance registry as of March 2013. According to the registry, there are 7 transmission owners that are not also transmission operators, 128 generator owners that are not also generator operators, and 101 distribution providers that are not also registered as another functional entity covered by the current event reporting standards. Thus, we estimate that a total of 236 entities may be subject to the event reporting requirements of EOP– 004–2 for the first time. 2

The number of annual reports required could vary widely based on the individual entity and the extent of its facilities. The estimate below is based on an assumption that, on average, 25 percent of the entities covered by EOP– 004–2 will have one reportable event per year. As demonstrated below, the primary increase in cost associated with the revised standard is expected in Year 1, when newly covered entities must develop an operating plan for reporting. In Years 2 and 3, an overall reduction in reporting and recordkeeping burden is expected, due to the simplified reporting form.

Type of Respondents: Reliability Coordinator, Balancing Authority, Transmission Owner, Transmission Operator, Generator Owner, Generator Operator, and Distribution Provider. 3
