The Commission proposes to approve
revisions to the Transmission Operations (TOP) and Interconnection
Reliability Operations and Coordination (IRO) Reliability
Standards, developed by the North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC), the Commission-certified Electric Reliability
Organization (ERO). The Commission believes that the proposed TOP
and IRO Reliability Standards improve on the currently-effective
standards by providing a more precise set of Reliability Standards
addressing operating responsibilities and improving the delineation
of responsibilities between applicable entities.

The increase in the number of

in order to increase reliability of the bulk-power system. These
changes were voted on by the industry as necessary for maintaining
