DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. IC22–1–000] 

Commission Information Collection 

Activities (FERC–725) Comment 

Request; Extension 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of information collection 

and request for comments. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission or FERC) is soliciting 

public comment on the currently 

approved information collection, FERC– 

725 (Certification of Electric Reliability 

Organization; Procedures for Electric 

Reliability Standards), which will be 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review. The 

Commission issued a 60-day notice on 

November 3, 2021 requesting public 

comments; no comments were received. 

DATES: Comments on the collection of 

information are due February 11, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments on 

FERC–725 to OMB through 

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. 

Attention: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission Desk Officer. Please 

identify the OMB Control Number 

(1902–0225) in the subject line of your 

comments. Comments should be sent

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 12, 2022 / Notices 1745 

1The Commission does not expect any new ERO 

applications to be submitted in the next five years 

and is not including any burden for this 

requirement in the burden estimate. FERC still 

seeks to renew the regulations pertaining to a new 

ERO application under this renewal but is 

expecting the burden to be zero for the foreseeable 

future. 18 CFR 39.3 contains the regulation 

pertaining to ERO applications. 

2 16 U.S.C. 824o. 

3A ‘‘registered entity’’ is an entity that is 

registered with the ERO. All Bulk-Power System 

owners, operators and users are required to register 

with the ERO. Registration is the basis for 

determining the Reliability Standards with which 

an entity must comply. See http://www.nerc.com/ 

page.php?cid=3%7C25 for more details. 

4 ‘‘Burden’’ is 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 Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations 

1320.3. 

5Costs (for wages and benefits) are based on wage 

figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for 

May 2021 (at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/ 

naics2_22.htm) and benefits information (at https:// 

www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm). 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–725, Certification of 

Electric Reliability Organization; 

Procedures for Electric Reliability 

Standards. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0225. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–725 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements. 

Abstract: The Commission issued a 

60-day notice on November 3, 2021 (86 

FR 60626) requesting public comments; 

no comments were received. 

The FERC–725 contains the following 

information collection elements: 

Self Assessment and ERO (Electric 

Reliability Organization) Application: 

The Commission requires the ERO to 

submit to FERC a performance 

assessment report every five years. The 

next assessment is due in 2024. Each 

Regional Entity submits a performance 

assessment report to the ERO. 

Submitting an application to become 

the ERO is also part of this collection.1

Reliability Assessments: 18 CFR 39.11 

requires the ERO to assess the reliability 

and adequacy of the Bulk-Power System 

in North America. Subsequently, the 

ERO must report to the Commission on 

its findings. Regional entities perform 

similar assessments within individual 

regions. Currently the ERO submits to 

FERC three assessments each year: Long 

term, winter, and summer. In addition, 

the North American Electric Reliability 

Corporation (NERC, the Commissionapproved ERO) also submits various 

other assessments as needed. 

Reliability Standards Development: 

Under section 215 of the Federal Power 

Act (FPA),2 the ERO is charged with 

developing Reliability Standards. 

Regional Entities may also develop 

regional specific standards and have 

standard experts on staff to work with 

entities below the regional level. 

Reliability Compliance: Reliability 

Standards are mandatory and 

enforceable upon approval by the 

Commission. In addition to the specific 

information collection requirements 

contained in each standard (cleared 

under other information collections), 

there are general compliance, 

monitoring and enforcement 

information collection requirements 

imposed on applicable entities. Audits, 

spot checks, self-certifications, 

exception data submittals, violation 

reporting, and mitigation plan 

confirmation are included in this area. 

Stakeholder Survey: The ERO uses a 

stakeholder survey to solicit feedback 

from registered entities 3 in preparation 

for its five-year self-performance 

assessment. The Commission assumes 

that the ERO will perform another 

survey prior to the 2024 self-assessment. 

Other Reporting: This category refers 

to all other reporting requirements 

imposed on the ERO or regional entities 

in order to comply with the 

Commission’s regulations. For example, 

FERC may require NERC to submit a 

special reliability assessment or inquiry. 

This category captures these types of 

one-time filings required of NERC or the 

Regions. The Commission implements 

its responsibilities through 18 CFR part 

39. 

Type of Respondent: Electric 

Reliability Organization, Regional 

entities, and registered entities. Estimate 

of Annual Burden: 4 The Commission 

estimates the total annual burden and 

cost 5 for this information collection in 

the table below. For hourly cost (for 

wages and benefits), we estimate that 

70% of the time is spent by Electrical 

Engineers (code 17–2071, at $72.15/hr.), 

20% of the time is spent by Legal (code 

23–0000, at $142.25/hr.), and 10% by 

Office and Administrative Support 

(code 43–0000, at $44.47/hr.). Therefore, 

we use the weighted hourly cost (for 

wages and benefits) of $83.40 (rounded) 

{or [(0.70) * ($72.15/hr.)] + [(0.20) * 

$142.25/hr.] + [(0.10) * $44.47/hr.]}.

respondent is ‘‘1,’’ the Commission Staff thinks that 

the actual number of responses varies and cannot 

be estimated accurately.

As indicated in the table, there was a 

decrease from seven to six in the 

number of Regional Entities because the 

Florida Reliability Coordinating Council 

(FRCC) dissolved in July 2019. Other 

changes from previous estimates are 

based on new data in the proposed 

NERC 2022 Business Plan and Budget to 

reflect changes in the number of FTEs 

(full-time equivalent employees) 

working in applicable areas. Reviewing 

the NERC Compliance database, we 

determined the number of unique U.S. 

entities is 1,496 (compared to the 

previous value of 1,409). Lastly, in 

several instances, the amount of time an 

FTE devotes to a given function may 

have been increased or decreased. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(1) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden and cost of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility 

and clarity of the information collection; 

and (4) ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
