Request for Comments on ‘‘Report to 

NIST on the Smart Grid Interoperability 

Standards Roadmap’’ (Contract No. 

SB1341–09–CN–0031—Deliverable 7) 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology (NIST), Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Institute of 

Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks 

comments on a report, entitled ‘‘Report 

to NIST on the Smart Grid 

Interoperability Standards Roadmap’’ 

(the ‘‘EPRI Report’’), prepared by the 

Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) 

under a contract (Contract No. SB1341– 

09–CN–0031—Deliverable 7) awarded to 

engage Smart Grid stakeholders in the 

development of a draft interim 

standards roadmap. NIST will consider 

the EPRI Report, and comments 

received on the EPRI Report, in the 

development of NIST’s interim 

‘‘roadmap’’ for Smart Grid 

interoperability standards, a 

responsibility assigned to NIST under 

the Energy Independence and Security 

Act of 2007. All comments submitted 

should reference this notice. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before July 30, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

sent to: George Arnold, 100 Bureau 

Drive, Stop 8100, National Institute of 

Standards and Technology, 

Gaithersburg, MD 20899–8100. 

Electronic comments may be sent to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1305 of the Energy Independence and 

Security Act (EISA) of 2007 (Pub. L. 

110–140) requires the Director of NIST 

‘‘to coordinate the development of a 

framework that includes protocols and 

model standards for information 

management to achieve interoperability 

of smart grid devices and systems.’’ The 

Smart Grid is an important component 

of the Administration’s comprehensive 

plan to reduce U.S. dependence on 

foreign oil, reduce greenhouse gas 

emissions, create jobs, and help U.S. 

industry lead in the global race to 

develop and apply clean energy 

technology. President Obama has set 

ambitious short and long-term goals, 

necessitating quick action and sustained 

progress in implementing the 

components, systems, and networks that 

will make up the Smart Grid. 

In April 2009, NIST announced a 

three-phase plan to expedite 

development of interoperability 

standards for the Smart Grid. The EPRI 

Report is an input to the first phase of 

the NIST plan, in which NIST has 

sought to engage utilities, equipment 

suppliers, consumers, standards 

developers, and other stakeholders in a 

public process to identify Smart Grid 

interoperability standards and priorities 

for development of new standards. The 

full NIST plan is available at http://

www.nist.gov/public_affairs/smartgrid_

041309.html. 

Under a contract (Contract No. 

SB1341–09–CN–0031) that NIST 

awarded earlier this year in connection 

with the first phase of the NIST plan, 

EPRI technical experts compiled and 

refined inputs from a variety of Smart 

Grid stakeholders. These inputs 

included technical contributions made 

at two EPRI-facilitated, two-day, public 

workshops (April 28–29, 2009, in 

Reston, Va; and May 19–20, 2009, in 

National Harbor, Md.). The EPRI Report 

also incorporates contributions from six 

expert working groups established by 

NIST in 2008, and from a cybersecurity 

coordination task group established in 

2009. Hundreds of individuals, 

representing a broad range of 

stakeholders, have participated in the 

roadmapping process to date. 

The EPRI Report contains material 

gathered and refined by the contractor 

using its technical expertise. The EPRI 

Report is not a formally reviewed and 

approved NIST publication. Rather, it is 

one of many inputs into the ongoing 

NIST-coordinated roadmapping process. 

NIST is now reviewing EPRI’s 

synthesis of stakeholder inputs received 

through the end of May 2009, as 

presented in the EPRI Report. NIST also 

will review the comments received from 

the public on the EPRI Report. 

NIST will use the EPRI Report and 

public comments as inputs in drafting 

an initial NIST Smart Grid 

Interoperability Framework. The NIST 

Framework, which is intended to be a 

living document, will describe a highlevel architecture, identify an initial set 

of key standards, and provide a 

roadmap for development of new or 

revised standards needed to realize the 

Smart Grid. Release 1.0 of the NIST 

Smart Grid Interoperability Standards 

Framework is expected to be available 

in September. 

Authority: Section 1305 of the Energy 

Independence and Security Act of 2007 (Pub. 

L. 110–140). 

Request for Comments: NIST seeks 

comments on EPRI’s ‘‘Report to NIST on 

the Smart Grid Interoperability 

Standards Roadmap.’’ Comments should 

include a reference to this Federal 

Register notice. After evaluating the 

report and comments submitted in 

response to this request, as well as other 

inputs, NIST will draft an initial NIST 

Smart Grid Interoperability Framework, 

in accordance with responsibilities 

assigned to NIST under the EISA. 

Dated: June 25, 2009.
