2015-08 | EOP-004 EOP-005 EOP-006 EOP-008 The Emergency Operations Periodic Review Team (Project 2015-02) performed a comprehensive review of a subset of Emergency Operations Standards (EOP-004, EOP-005, EOP-006 and EOP-008) that resulted in the following recommendations: EOP-004-2 Event Reporting – (1) Revise the standard and attachment and (2) retire Requirement R3; EOP-005-2 System Restoration from Blackstart Resources – Revise the standard; EOP-006-2 System Restoration Coordination – (1) Revise the standard and (2) retire Requirements Parts R1.2, R1.3, and R1.4; and EOP-008-1 Loss of Control Center Functionality – Revise the standard. The four NERC Reliability Standards in the Periodic Review project concerned methodologies for restoring, reporting, and communicating Emergencies. 3/27/2017 NERC filed its Petition 2/9/2017 Approved by NERC Board 2/2/2017 Ballot EOP-004-4: 93.80% 1/6/2017 Final Ballot EOP-005-3: 83.65% EOP-006-3: 80.56% 1/6/2017 Additional Ballot EOP-004-4: 93.55% 12/9/2016 Final Ballot 93.17% 12/9/2016 Additional Ballot EOP-005-3: 76.93% EOP-006-3: 77.17% 9/8/2016 Initial ballot
| CIP-003 LERC Definition Changes The Version 5 Transition Advisory Group (V5 TAG) transferred issues to the Version 5 Standard Drafting Team (SDT) that were identified during the industry transition to implementation of the Version 5 CIP Standards. Specifically, the issues that the SDT will address are: Cyber Asset and BES Cyber Asset Definitions Network and Externally Accessible Devices Transmission Owner (TO) Control Centers Performing Transmission Operator (TOP) Obligations Virtualization approved revisions to version 5 of the CIP standards but also directed that NERC develop modifications to requirements in the CIP standards as follows: Develop modifications to the CIP Reliability Standards to provide mandatory protection for transient devices used at Low Impact BES Systems based on the risk posed to bulk electric system reliability. Develop modifications to the CIP Reliability Standards to require responsible entities to implement controls to protect, at a minimum, communication and sensitive bulk electric system data communicated between bulk electric system Control Centers in a manner that is appropriately tailored to address the risks posed to the bulk electric system by the assets being protected (i.e., high, medium, or low impact). Develop a modification to provide the needed clarity, within one year, to the LERC definition consistent with the commentary in the Guidelines and Technical section of CIP-003-6. Also the scope of this work will incorporate existing and future RFIs relating to the CIP-002 through CIP-011 family of standards. 3/3/2017 NERC submitted its 2/9/2017 Approved by NERC Board 12/19/16 Ballots CIP-003-7: 87.95% IP: 83.03% 12/5/2016 Additional Ballots CIP-003-7: 85.56% IP: 75.54% 9/6/2016 Initial Ballots CIP-003-7: 41.54% IP: 41.77% LERC: 30.63% 6/30/2016 SAR comments 4/21/2016 Informal Comments
