DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. RD22–3–000] 

Before Commissioners: Richard Glick, 

Chairman; James P. Danly, Allison 

Clements, Mark C. Christie, and Willie 

L. Phillips; North American Electric 

Reliability Corporation; Order 

Approving Modifications to the 

Compliance Section of Reliability 

Standard CIP–014 

1. On February 16, 2022, the North 

American Electric Reliability 

Corporation (NERC), the Commissioncertified Electric Reliability 

Organization (ERO), submitted a 

petition seeking approval of Reliability 

Standard CIP–014–3, which would 

modify the compliance section of 

Reliability Standard CIP–014–2 

(Physical Security). The proposed 

modification would eliminate a 

provision requiring that all evidence 

demonstrating compliance with this 

Reliability Standard should be retained 

at the transmission owner’s or 

transmission operator’s facility. As 

discussed in this order, we approve 

NERC’s petition. 

I. Background 

A. Section 215 and Mandatory 

Reliability Standards 

2. Section 215 of the Federal Power 

Act (FPA) requires a Commissioncertified ERO to develop mandatory and 

enforceable Reliability Standards, 

subject to Commission review and 

approval. The ERO is obligated to file 

each Reliability Standard or 

modification to a Reliability Standard 

that it proposes to be made effective 

with the Commission.1 Reliability 

Standards may be enforced by the ERO, 

subject to Commission oversight, or by 

the Commission independently.2

Pursuant to section 215 of the FPA, the 

Commission established a process to 

select and certify an ERO,3 and 

subsequently certified NERC.4

B. Currently Effective Reliability 

Standard CIP–014–2 

3. Reliability Standard CIP–014–2, 

which applies to transmission owners 

and transmission operators, is designed 

to ‘‘identify and protect Transmission 

stations and Transmission substations, 

and their associated primary control 

centers, that if rendered inoperable or 

damaged as a result of a physical attack 

could result in widespread instability, 

uncontrolled separation, or Cascading 

within an Interconnection.’’ 5 Pursuant 

to the Reliability Standard, transmission 

owners must perform an initial and 

subsequent risk assessments to identify 

the transmission stations and 

substations that, if rendered inoperable 

or damaged could result in instability, 

uncontrolled separation, or cascading 

within an Interconnection, and is 

subject to a third party verification. 

Transmission owners that control 

identified facilities must conduct an 

evaluation of the potential threats and 

vulnerabilities of a physical attack to 

transmission stations and substation, as 

well as primary control centers, develop 

and implement a documented physical 

security plan and have a third-party 

review of the evaluation. 

C. NERC Petition for Modifications to 

the Compliance Section of Reliability 

Standard CIP–014 

4. NERC proposes to remove section 

C.1.1.4., Additional Compliance 

Information, from the compliance 

section of the currently effective 

Reliability Standard CIP–014–2 

(Physical Security) that requires all 

evidence demonstrating compliance 

with this Reliability Standard to be 

retained at the transmission owner’s or 

transmission operator’s facility in order 

to protect the entity’s confidential 

information.6 NERC states that the 

proposed change applies only to the 

compliance section of Reliability 

Standard CIP–014–2, and proposes no 

changes in the mandatory and 

enforceable Requirements of Reliability 

Standard CIP–014–2. According to 

NERC, the provision presents challenges 

to effective and efficient compliance 

monitoring and is not necessary to 

protect the confidentiality of Reliability 

Standard CIP–014–2 compliance 

evidence.7

5. NERC states that the ‘‘Additional 

Compliance Information’’ provision in 

the compliance section of CIP–014 was 

added to address heightened concerns 

regarding the protection of CIP–014 

evidence. However, NERC has 

determined that it should no longer treat 

CIP–014 evidence any differently than 

other sensitive evidence it collects 

during its Compliance Monitoring and 

Enforcement Program (CMEP) 

activities.8 With the advent of the ERO 

Secure Evidence Locker (SEL), NERC 

asserts that it has a secure means of 

collecting and analyzing CIP–014 

evidence in the same manner as any 

other sensitive evidence collected as 

part of CMEP activities.14

6. NERC explains that if the change is 

approved, it will no longer treat 

Reliability Standard CIP–014 evidence 

any differently than other sensitive 

evidence it collects during its 

compliance activities.9 NERC plans to 

use its SEL to support data and 

information handling, and it explains 

that it has developed the SEL for 

temporary storage of all registered entity 

compliance evidence.10 According to 

NERC, the SEL enables a registered 

entity to securely submit evidence
