The Commission intends for the
FERC-725X information collection to eventually contain all
paperwork burden for Voltage and Reactive (VAR) Reliability
Standards. It is a new collection, so it doesn't contain any
existing paperwork burden currently. The Order in RD14-11 is the
first activity (and first paperwork burden) added to the 725X. In
an Order in RD14-11 the Commission approved new versions of two VAR
Reliability Standards, which are being included in FERC-725X. The
net change in burden is zero. In conjunction with the burden
increase requested in this ICR, the Commission is asking (in a
separate ICR) for the same amount to be subtracted from the
FERC-725A (OMB Control Number 1902-0244), which includes the
current standards being replaced.
US Code:
16
USC 824o Name of Law: Energy Policy Act of 2005
In RD14-11 the Commission
approved new versions of two existing Reliability Standards. The
Order in Docket No. RD14-11 does not result in a net burden change
to industry. The burden increases in the new FERC-725X are offset
by the burden reductions in FERC-725A (in a separate ICR), which
includes the current requirements for VAR standards that are being
replaced.
