7The joint petition and exhibits are posted in the 

Commission’s eLibrary system in Docket No. RD17– 

8–000. 

8Burden 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. 

9For BAL–502–RF–03, the hourly cost (for salary 

plus benefits) uses the figures from the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics for three positions involved in the 

reporting and recordkeeping requirements. These 

figures include salary (http://bls.gov/oes/current/ 

naics2_22.htm) and benefits (http://www.bls.gov/ 

news.release/ecec.nr0.htm) and are: 

• Manager (Occupation Code 11–0000): $81.52/ 

hour. 

• Engineer (Occupation Code 17–2071): $68.12/ 

hour. 

• File Clerk (Occupation Code 43–4071): $32.74/ 

hour. 

The hourly cost for the reporting requirements 

($60.79) is an average of the cost of a manager, an 

engineer, and a file clerk. 

10The number of respondents is derived from the 

NERC Compliance Registry as of October 2, 2017 for 

the burden associated with the proposed regional 

Reliability Standard BAL–502–RF–03. 

On September 7, 2017, NERC and RF 

filed a joint petition in Docket No. 

RD17–8–000 7 requesting Commission 

approval of: (a) Regional Reliability 

Standard BAL–502–RF–03 (Planning 

Resource Adequacy Analysis, 

Assessment and Documentation), and 

(b) the retirement of regional Reliability 

Standard BAL–502–RFC–02.6 The 

petition states: ‘‘Proposed regional 

Reliability Standard BAL–502–RF–03 

establishes common criteria, based on 

‘‘one day in ten year’’ loss of Load 

expectation principles, for the analysis, 

assessment, and documentation of 

Resource Adequacy for Load in the 

ReliabilityFirst region.’’ NERC’s and 

RF’s joint filing was noticed on 

September 8, 2017, with interventions, 

comments and protests due on or before 

October 10, 2017. In this document, we 

provide estimates of the burden and cost
