SUMMARY: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is 
correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of 
February 17, 2006 (71 FR 8662). The final rule establishes criteria 
that an entity must satisfy to qualify to be the Electric Reliability 
Organization (ERO) which the Commission will certify as the 
organization that will propose and enforce Reliability Standards for 
the Bulk-Power System in the United States, subject to Commission 
approval. The final rule also establishes procedures under which the 
ERO may propose new or modified Reliability Standards for Commission 
review and procedures governing an enforcement action for the violation 
of a Reliability Standard.

DATES: Effective March 20, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jonathan First, Office of the General 
Counsel, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. 202-502-8529.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In FR Doc. 06-1227 appearing on page 8662 in 
the Federal Register of Friday, February 17, 2006, the following 
correction is made. The Commission notes that the error does not appear 
in the order issued by the Commission.

'' is corrected to read ``the Transmission Organization shall 
expeditiously notify the Commission * * *.''
