SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–725Y,1 Mandatory
Reliability Standard PER–005–2
(Operations Personnel Training).
OMB Control No.: To Be Determined.
Type of Request: Three-year approval
of the FERC–725Y information
collection requirements.
Abstract: Reliability Standard PER–
005–2 (Operations Personnel Training
Standard) implements the Congressional
mandate of the Energy Policy Act of
2005 to develop mandatory and
enforceable Reliability Standards to
better ensure the reliability of the
nation’s Bulk-Power System.
Specifically, the purpose of PER–005–
2 2 is to ensure that personnel
performing or supporting real-time
operations on the Bulk Electric System
(BES) are trained using a systematic

approach. The Reliability Standard
requires entities to maintain records
subject to review by the Commission
and NERC to ensure compliance with
the Reliability Standard.
PER–005–2 contains six
Requirements:
• R1 requiring reliability
coordinators, balancing authorities, and
transmission operators to develop and
implement a training program for
system operators
• R2 requiring transmission owners to
develop and implement a training
program for system operators
• R3 requiring reliability
coordinators, balancing authorities,
transmission operators and transmission
owners to verify the capabilities of their
identified personnel
• R4 requiring reliability
coordinators, balancing authorities,
transmission operators and transmission
owners to provide those personnel with
emergency operations training using
simulation technology
• R5 requiring reliability
coordinators, balancing authorities, and
transmission operators to develop and
implement training for their operations
support personnel

53177

• R6 requiring applicable generator
operators to develop and implement
training for certain of their dispatch
personnel at a centrally located dispatch
center.
Type of Respondents: Reliability
coordinators, balancing authorities,
transmission operators, transmission
owners, and generator owners.
Estimate of Annual Burden 3: Our
estimate below regarding the number of
respondents is based on the NERC
compliance registry as of April 30, 2014.
According to the NERC compliance
registry, NERC has registered 15
reliability coordinators, 107 balancing
authorities, 182 transmission operators,
337 transmission owners and 848
generator operators. However, under
NERC’s compliance registration
program, entities may be registered for
multiple functions, so these numbers
incorporate some double counting. The
number of unique entities responding
will be approximately 387 entities
registered as a reliability coordinator,
balancing authority, transmission
operator, transmission owner, or
generator operator.
The Commission estimates the
additional annual reporting burden and
cost as follows:

FERC–725Y, AS IMPLEMENTED IN DOCKET NO. RD14–7

(One-time) Development of a training

1 In the Order issued 6/19/2014, the proposed
information collection was included in FERC–725A
(Mandatory Reliability Standards for the BulkPower System) under OMB Control No. 1902–0244.
In this notice and the related Paperwork Reduction
Act package to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review and approval,
the information collection will be included in a
new FERC–725Y (rather than FERC–725A).
2 Reliability Standard PER–005–2 expands the
scope of the current Reliability Standard in order
to address the Commission’s directives in Order
Nos. 693 and 742.
3 Burden 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, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.
4 TO=Transmission Owner; RC=Reliability
Coordinator; BA=Balancing Authority;
TOP=Transmission Operator; GOP=Generator
Operator.
5 The estimated hourly costs (salary plus benefits)
are based on Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS)
information (available at http://bls.gov/oes/current/
naics3_221000.htm#17-0000) for an electrical
engineer ($59.62/hour for review and

documentation), and for a file clerk ($28.95/hour for
record retention).
6 Not all transmission owners are expected to
have personnel who will be subject to the revised
personnel training requirements, but this estimate
conservatively includes all registered TOs. The
same approach is taken with respect to generator
operators.
7 Some transmission owners are also generator
operators. To eliminate double counting some
entities, this figure reflects the number of unique
entities (1,050) within the group of TOs and GOPs.
That approach is used throughout the table.

Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the EA
for this proposal. The filing of the EA
in the Commission’s public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will serve to notify federal and

this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
7 copies of filings made with the
