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 this 

information 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

Estimate of Annual Burden:4
