Reliability Standards for the Bulk-Power 

System). 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0244. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–725A information 

collection requirements with no changes

Abstract: On August 8, 2005, the 

Electricity Modernization Act of 2005, 

which is title XII, subtitle A, of the 

Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), 

was enacted into law.1 EPAct 2005 

added a new section 215 to the FPA, 

which requires a Commission-certified 

electric reliability organization (ERO) 

(FERC–725) to develop mandatory and 

enforceable Reliability Standards, which 

are subject to Commission review and 

approval. Once approved, the Reliability 

Standards may be enforced by the ERO, 

subject to Commission oversight or the 

Commission can independently enforce 

Reliability Standards (FERC–725A).2

5RAS are automatic protection systems designed 

to detect abnormal or predetermined system 

conditions and take corrective actions other than 

and/or in addition to the isolation of faulted 

components to maintain system reliability. 

On February 3, 2006, the Commission 

issued Order No. 672, implementing 

section 215 of the FPA.3 Pursuant to 

Order No. 672, the Commission certified 

one organization, NERC, as the ERO.4

The ERO is required to develop 

Reliability Standards, which are subject 

to Commission review and approval. 

The Reliability Standards will apply to 

users, owners, and operators of the 

Bulk-Power System, as set forth in each 

Reliability Standard. 

On March 16, 2007, the Commission 

issued Order No. 693, a Final Rule 

adding part 40, a new part, to the 

Commission’s regulations. The Final 

Rule states that this part applies to all 

users, owners, and operators of the 

Bulk-Power System within the United 

States (other than Alaska or Hawaii). It 

also requires that each Reliability 

Standard identify the subset of users, 

owners, and operators to which that 

particular Reliability Standard applies. 

The new regulations also require that 

each Reliability Standard that is 

approved by the Commission will be 

maintained on the ERO’s internet 

website for public inspection. 

In order for the Commission to 

perform its oversight function with 

regard to Reliability Standards that are 

proposed by the ERO, it is essential that 

the Commission receives timely 

information regarding all or potential 

violations of Reliability Standards. 

While section 215 of the FPA 

contemplates the filing of the record of 

an ERO or Regional Entity enforcement 

action, FERC needs information 

regarding violations and potential 

violations at or near the time of 

occurrence. Therefore, it will work with 

the ERO and regional reliability 

organizations to be able to use electronic 

filing of information, so the Commission 

receives timely information. The new 

regulations also require that each 

Reliability Standard that is approved by 

the Commission will be maintained on 

the ERO’s internet website for public 

inspection. 

In accordance with section 39.5 of the 

Commission’s regulations, the ERO 

must file each Reliability Standard or a 

modification to a Reliability Standard 

with the Commission. The filing is to 

include a concise statement of the basis 

and purpose of the proposed Reliability 

Standard, either a summary of the 

Reliability development proceedings 

conducted by the ERO or a summary of 

the Reliability Standard development 

proceedings conducted by a Regional 

Entity together with a summary of the 

Reliability Standard review proceedings 

of the ERO and a demonstration that the 

proposed Reliability Standard is ‘‘just, 

reasonable, not unduly discriminatory 

or preferential, and in the public 

interest. 

The existing burden inventory for the 

entire FERC–725A collection is 

estimated at 1,103,040 burden hours 

(table 1). FERC–725A contains the 

information collection requirements for 

nearly all of the US wide Reliability 

Standards. The collection started in 

2007 when FERC approved 83 

Reliability Standards with an estimated 

1,252,680 burden hours. Since that time, 

NERC has revised many of the original 

standards (as well as proposed new 

standards) resulting in many 

incremental additions to the total 

burden hours. Additionally, over time 

FAC–003, FAC–008, PER–003; INT–006; 

INT–009; TOP–001, TOP–002, TOP– 

003, TOP–010 revisions were captured 

in 725A collection. In August 2024, the 

associated manhours and cost for PER– 

003–2 are being relocated from 725A 

into 725Y (table 2). This change will not 

result in change in the number of 

respondents in 725A as the same group 

of responsible entities have other 

obligation under 725A but the 

associated cost per entity will decrease 

slightly overall (table 3). 

In an effort to target similar NERC 

Reliability Standards by family in this 

725A renewal, manhours associated 

with two FAC (Facilities) Reliability 

Standards (FAC–008–5 and FAC–003–2) 

will be retired from 725A and then 

added to the 725D, where other FAC 

standards are collected. This should 

facilitate future three-year renewal 

efforts and more accurate tracking of for 

the FAC Reliability Standards. 

In an effort to target similar NERC 

Reliability Standards by family in this 

725A renewal, manhours associated 

with three PRC (Protection and Control) 

Reliability Standards (PRC–008–0, PRC– 

011–0, and PRC–017–1) will be retired 

from 725A Bulk-Power System and then 

added to the 725G, where other PRC 

standards are collected. This should 

facilitate future three-year renewal 

efforts and more accurate tracking of for 

the PRC Reliability Standards. 

PRC–008 (Underfrequency and 

Documentation of Underfrequency Load 

Shedding Equipment Maintenance 

Program) represents responsibility of 

TOs and GOs to create and follow their 

maintenance program to ensure that 

underfrequency relays operate when 

needed to drop system load to preserve 

the BES. PRC–011–0 (Undervoltage 

Load Shedding (UVLS) System 

Maintenance and Testing) identifies that 

TOs and DPs that own a UVLS system 

to create and follow their maintenance 

program to ensure that undervoltage 

relays operate when needed to drop 

system load to preserve volage collapse 

or voltage instability. Not every TO or 

DP has a UVLS program, staff is 

estimating that half of the registered 

TOs and DPs need to follow PRC–011– 

0. PRC–017–1 (Remedial Action Scheme 

(RAS) Maintenance and Testing) System 

Maintenance and Testing) identifies that 

TOs, DPs, GOs that their RASs are 

properly designed, meet expected 

performance, and are coordinated with 

other protection systems.5 The 

maintenance and testing programs for 

RAS are reviewed by engineers and 

when a relay mis-operations occurs the 

RAS is reviewed and corrected. PRC– 

008–0 and PRC–011–0 have been inservice since April 2005 and PRC–017– 

1 was revised in November 2015.

6Burden 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, refer to 5 CFR part 1320. 

7This is a list of NERC registered entities who 

under 725A need to follow the NERC Standards. 

BA=Balancing Authority (98); DP = Distribution 

Provider (371); GP = Generator Owner (1,210); 

Generator Operator (1028); PA/PC Planning 

Authority/Planning Coordinator (62); 

RC=Reliability Coordinator (12); RP = Resource 

Planner (159); RSG = Reserve Sharing Group (8); 

FRSG = Frequency Response Sharing Group (1); TO 

= Transmission Owner (324); TOP = Transmission 

Operator (165); TP = Transmission Provided (203); 

TSP = Transmission Service Provider (70); for a 

sum total of (3,711). The same entity may have 

multiple registration obligation to follow under 

725A, so an individual entity’s obligation increases 

based on registration functions. These values were 

derived from the NERC Compliance data of April 

16, 2024, using only unique United States registered 

entities. 

8The 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). 

9For PER–003–2: RC = Reliability Coordinator; 

BA = Balancing Authority; TOP = Transmission 

Operator; TO = Transmission Owner; GOP = 

Generator Operator. The NERC compliance registry 

table April 16, 2024, was used to perform analysis. 

10The estimated hourly cost (salary plus benefits) 

is a combination based on the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS), as of 2024. The estimates for cost 

per response are loaded hourly wage figure 

(includes benefits) based on two occupational 

categories for 2023 found on the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics website (http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/ 

naics2_22.htm): Electrical Engineer (Occupation 

Code: 17–2071): $79.31 (to calculate the reporting 

requirements); Office and Administrative Support 

(Occupation Code: 43–0000): $48.59 (to calculate 

the recordkeeping requirements). 

11These values were derived from the NERC 

Compliance data of April 16, 2024, using only 

unique United States registered entities. 

12The 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

20These values were derived from the NERC 

Compliance data of April 16, 2024, using only 

unique United States registered entities. 

21The 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). 

22This is a list of NERC registered entities who 

under 725A need to follow the NERC Standards. BA 

= Balancing Authority (98); DP = Distribution 

Provider (371); GP = Generator Owner (1,210); 

Generator Operator (1028); PA/PC Planning 

Authority/Planning Coordinator (62); 

RC=Reliability Coordinator (12); RP = Resource 

Planner (159); RSG = Reserve Sharing Group (8); 

FRSG = Frequency Response Sharing Group (1); TO 

= Transmission Owner (324); TOP = Transmission 

Operator (165); TP = Transmission Provided (203); 

TSP = Transmission Service Provider (70); for a 

sum total of (3,711). The same entity may have 

multiple registration obligation to follow under 

725A, so an individual entity’s obligation increases 

based on registration functions. These values were 

derived from the NERC Compliance data of April 

16, 2024, using only unique United States registered 

entities.
