SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–725D, Facilities Design, 

Connections and Maintenance 

Reliability Standards. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0247. 

Type of Request: Three-year approval 

of the FERC–725D information 

collection requirements, with changes to 

the reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements. (There are adjustments to 

the estimates to update the totals to add 

in the FAC–003–5 and FAC–008–5). 

Abstract: On August 8, 2005, The 

Electricity Modernization Act of 2005, 

which is Title XII of the Energy Policy 

Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), was enacted 

into law. EPAct 2005 added a new 

section 215 to the Federal Power Act 

(FPA), which requires a Commissioncertified Electric Reliability 

Organization (ERO) to develop 

mandatory and enforceable Reliability 

Standards, subject to Commission 

review and approval. Once approved, 

the Reliability Standards may be 

enforced by the ERO, subject to 

Commission oversight, or by the 

Commission independently. In 2006, 

the Commission certified NERC (now 

called the North American Electric 

Reliability Corporation) as the ERO 

pursuant to section 215 of the FPA. On 

March 16, 2007 (pursuant to section 

215(d) of the FPA), the Commission 

issued Order No. 693, approving 83 of 

the 107 initial Reliability Standards 

filed by NERC. In the intervening years, 

numerous changes have been made to 

update, eliminate, or establish various 

Reliability Standards.

725D is required to implement the

4Burden 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 Code of Federal 

Regulations 1320.3. 5These 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).

statutory provisions of section 215 of 

the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 

824c). Pursuant to section 215 of the 

Federal Power Act (FPA),1 in Order 

836,2 the Commission approved the 

following standards: FAC–003–5 is set 

out to maintain a reliable electric 

transmission system by using a defensein-depth strategy to manage vegetation 

located on transmission rights of way 

(ROW) and minimize encroachments 

from vegetation located adjacent to the 

ROW, thus preventing the risk of those 

vegetation-related outages that could 

lead to Cascading. FAC–003–5 is 

applicable to TOs and GOs and NERC 

has incorporated Applicability Sections 

4.2.2 and 4.3.1.2 of FAC–003–5 to 

replace references to ‘‘elements of an 

IROL under NERC Standard FAC–014 

by the Planning Coordinator’’ with 

references to facilities: 

‘‘Identified by the Planning 

Coordinator or Transmission Planner, 

per its Planning Assessment of the NearTerm Transmission Planning Horizon as 

a Facility that if lost or degraded are 

expected to result in instances of 

instability, Cascading, or uncontrolled 

separation that adversely impacts the 

reliability of the Bulk Electric System 

for a planning event.’’ 

Reliability Standard FAC–008–5 

ensures that Facility Ratings used in the 

reliable planning and operation of the 

Bulk Electric System (BES) are 

determined based on technically sound 

principles. A Facility Rating is essential 

for the determination of System 

Operating Limits.

Estimate of Annual Burden 4 and 

Cost: The Commission estimates an 

increase (adjustment) in the annual 

public reporting burden for the FERC– 

725D. In an effort to target similar NERC 

Reliability Standards by family the 

following manhours associated with two 

FAC (Facilities) Reliability Standards 

(FAC–008–5 and FAC–003–5) is being 

transferred from 725A (1902–0244) to 

the 725D (1902–0247), where other FAC 

standards are collected, as shown below
