("Double Click for Calendar or Enter Date" )
On August 26, 2014, Commission Staff issued a “Common Metrics Report,”
establishing 30 common metrics for independent system operators (ISOs), regional
transmission organizations (RTOs), and utilities in non-ISO/RTO regions. In that report,
Commission Staff indicated that upon approval by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for additional data collection, the Commission will issue a notice requesting that
the ISOs, RTOs, and participating utilities in non-ISO/RTO regions provide performance
information on the common metrics on a schedule to be specified in the notice. 1
Consistent with the OMB-approved data collection and past practice regarding this
effort, ISOs, RTOs, and utilities in non-ISO/RTO regions are encouraged to submit
information responsive to the 30 common metrics listed in the August 2014 report.
Information submitted should cover the 2010-2014 period, and should be submitted by
October 30, 2015. Commission staff plans to contact representatives of the ISOs, RTOs,
and utilities in non-ISO/RTO regions that have previously participated in this effort.
