AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of information collection 

and request for comments.

1 16 U.S.C.824o. 

2As defined at 16 U.S.C. 824o(a)(1) and 18 CFR 

39.1, the term ‘‘bulk-power system’’ means facilities 

and control systems necessary for operating an 

interconnected electric energy transmission 

network (or any portion thereof), and electric 

energy from generating facilities needed to maintain 

transmission system reliability. The term does not 

include facilities used in the local distribution of 

electric energy. 

3 16 U.S.C. 824o(e). 

4Using the November 20, 2024, NERC 

compliance registration information for entities that 

are Generator Owners, Transmission Owners, and 

Distribution Providers (in the US), the number of 

potential respondents is 1,861. However, not every 

entity will have a misoperation event during a year. 

Based on our previous experience with this 

information collection, we are estimating that 

approximately half of the 1,861 potential 

respondents annually will have a reportable 

misoperation, i.e., 930 (rounded) responses per year 

for FERC–725G1. 

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 collections, FERC 

725G, Mandatory Reliability Standards 

for the Bulk-Power System: Regional

(Protection System Misoperation 

Identification and Correction), FERC– 

725G4, Mandatory Reliability 

Standards: Reliability Standard PRC– 

010–2 (Under Voltage Load Shedding) 

and 725P1, PRC–005–6 (Protection 

System, Automatic Reclosing, and 

Sudden Pressure Relaying 

Maintenance). There are no changes 

made to the reporting requirements for 

this information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this 

information collection request, the 

Commission is merging the FERC– 

725G1 (OMB Control No. 1902–0284), 

FERC–725G4 (OMB Control No. 1902– 

0282) and FERC–725P1 (OMB Control 

No. 1902–0280) into the FERC–725G 

(OMB Control No. 1902–0252). 

FERC–725G1 

Title: Mandatory Reliability Standards 

for the Bulk-Power System: Reliability 

Standard PRC–004–6. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0284. 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–725G1 information 

collection requirements. 

Abstract: The Commission collects 

information under FERC–725G1 in 

accordance with section 215 of the 

Federal Power Act (FPA) 1 and 18 CFR 

parts 39 and 40. Section 215 of the FPA 

gives the Commission and the North 

American Electric Reliability 

Corporation (as the Commissionapproved Electric Reliability 

Organization) to establish and enforce 

reliability standards for all users, 

owners, and operators of the bulk-power 

system.2 Once approved, the Reliability 

Standards may be enforced by the 

Electric Reliability Organization subject 

to Commission oversight, or by the 

Commission independently.3

Reliability Standard PRC–004–6 

requires transmission owners, generator 

owners, and distribution providers to 

identify and correct causes of misoperations of certain protection systems 

for bulk-power system elements. It also 

requires retention of evidence of 

misoperations for a minimum of 12 

calendar months. 

Types of Respondents: Transmission 

Owners, Generator Owners, and 

Distribution Providers. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: The 

Commission estimates 930 responses 

annually, and per-response burdens of 

16 hours and $1,130.72.4 The total 

estimated burdens per year are 930 

responses, 14,880 hours, and $1,051,570 

(rounded). These burdens are itemized 

in the following table: 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
107140 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 250 / Tuesday, December 31, 2024 / Notices 

5The 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). 

6 If OMB renews FERC–725G4, the Commission 

subsequently may consider requesting that OMB 

combine that information collection activity with 

FERC–725G1. Such action would be administrative 

only and would not indicate the discontinuation of 

the information collection requirements in FERC– 

725G4. 

7 ‘‘Load shedding’’ means disconnecting 

consumers from the grid to prevent demand from 

exceeding supply, which can cause widespread grid 

collapse. A ‘‘UVLS Program’’ provides for automatic 

load shedding, utilizing voltage inputs, in specific 

circumstances and locations. 

8 ‘‘UVLS Entities,’’ as defined at the NERC 

website at https://www.nerc.com/pa/Stand/ 

Reliability%20Standards/PRC-010-2.pdf, are 

distribution providers and transmission owners 

responsible for the ownership, operation, or control 

of UVLS equipment, as required by a UVLS 

Program. 

9Using the November 20, 2024, NERC 

compliance registration information for only unique 

US entities that are Transmission Owners (325) and 

Distribution Providers (298), the number of 

potential respondents is 623, considering overlap 

between functions. However, not every entity has 

an under-voltage load shedding program. 

Approximately five percent of the potential 

respondents have such a program. Therefore, we 

estimate 31 (rounded) responses per year for FERC– 

725G4. 

10The 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). 

11 If OMB renews FERC–725P1, the Commission 

subsequently may consider requesting that OMB 

combine that information collection activity with 

FERC–725G. Such action would be administrative 

only and would not indicate the discontinuation of 

the information collection requirements in FERC– 

725P1. 

12Using the November 20, 2024, NERC 

compliance registration information for only unique 

US entities that are Distribution Providers (298), 

generator owners (1,238) and transmission owners 

(325). Therefore, we estimate 1,861 (rounded) 

responses per year for FERC–725P1.

Abstract: On August 8, 2005, Congress 

enacted into law the Electricity 

Modernization Act of 2005, which is 

Title XII, Subtitle A, of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005).14

EPAct 2005 added a new section 215 to 

the FPA, which required a Commissioncertified Electric Reliability 

Organization (ERO) 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.15

The information collected by the 

FERC–725G is required to implement 

the statutory provisions of section 215 

of the Federal Power Act (FPA).2

Section 215 of the FPA buttresses the 

Commission’s efforts to strengthen the 

reliability of the interstate bulk power 

grid.
