Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 210 / Wednesday, October 30, 2024 / Notices 86337 

4The Commission defines burden 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. 

5TOP = transmission operator; GOP = generator 

operators. These values were derived from the 

NERC Compliance data of April 16, 2024, using 

only unique United States registered entities. 

6The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits) 

is a combination based on the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS), as of 2024, for 75% of the average 

of an Electrical Engineer (17–2071) $79.31/hr., 

79.31 × .75 = 59.4825 ($59.48-rounded) ($59.48/ 

hour) and 25% of an Information and Record Clerk 

(43–4199) $44.74/hr., $44.74 × .25% = 11.185 

($11.19 rounded) ($11.19/hour), for a total ($59.48 

+ $11.19 = $70.67/hour). 

Operator the notification requirements 

for deviating from the schedule, and, if 

requested, provide the Generator 

Operator the criteria used to develop the 

schedule (Requirement R5); and 

• Communicate step-up transformer 

tap changes, the time frame for 

completion, and the justification for 

these changes to Generator Owners 

(Requirement R6). 

Reliability Standard VAR–002–4.1 

This Reliability Standard includes an 

information collection activity for 

‘‘Requirement R1’’ and a separate 

information collection activity for 

‘‘Requirements R2 through R6.’’ This 

Reliability Standard requires Generator 

Operators to: 

• Operate each of its generators 

connected to the interconnected 

transmission system in automatic 

voltage control mode or in a different 

control mode as instructed by the 

Transmission Operator, unless the 

Generator Operator (1) is exempted 

pursuant to the criteria developed under 

VAR–001–5, Requirement R4, or (2) 

makes certain notifications to the 

Transmission Operator specifying the 

reasons it cannot so operate 

(Requirement R1); 

• Maintain the Transmission 

Operator’s generator voltage or Reactive 

Power schedule, unless the Generator 

Operator (1) is exempted pursuant to the 

criteria developed under VAR–001–5, 

Requirement R4, or (2) complies with 

the notification requirements for 

deviations as established by the 

Transmission Owner pursuant to VAR– 

001–5, Requirement R5 (Requirement 

R2); 

• Notify the Transmission Operator of 

a change in status of its voltage 

controlling device within 30 minutes, 

unless the status is restored within that 

time period (Requirement R3); and 

• Notify the Transmission Operator of 

a change in reactive capability due to 

factors other than those described in 

VAR–002–4.1, Requirement R3 within 

30 minutes unless the capability has 

been restored during that time period 

(Requirement R4). 

• Provide information on its step-up 

transformers and auxiliary transformers 

within 30 days of a request from the 

Transmission Operator or Transmission 

Planner (Requirement R5); and 

• Comply with the Transmission 

Operator’s step-up transformer tap 

change directives unless compliance 

would violate safety, an equipment 

rating, or applicable laws, rules or 

regulations (Requirement R6).
