SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: FERC–725I, Mandatory
Reliability Standards for the Northeast
Power Coordinating Council.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0258.
Type of Request: Three-year approval
of the FERC–725I information collection
requirements, as modified.
Abstract: On June 9, 2016, the North
American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC) and the Northeast
Power Coordination Council, Inc.
(‘‘NPCC’’) filed a petition for
Commission approval, pursuant to
section 215(d)(1) of the Federal Power
Act (‘‘FPA’’) 1 and Section 39.5 2 of the
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s regulations, of the
retirement of NPCC Regional Reliability
Standard PRC–002–NPCC–01
(Disturbance Monitoring) and the two
related NPCC regional definitions,
Current Zero Time and Generating
Plant.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The
Commission estimates the reduction
(due to the retirement of Reliability
Standard PRC–002–NPCC–01) in the
annual public reporting burden for the
information collection as follows:
1 16

U.S.C. 824o (2012).
CFR 39.5 (2015).
3 The Commission defines burden 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.

purposes of these charts, generation owner is abbreviated to GO, transmission owner is abbreviated to TO, reliability coordinator is abbreviated to RC, and planning coordinator is abbreviated to PC.
5 We estimate that an entity will experience a unit failure greater than 90 days once every five years. Therefore, 20 percent of NPCC’s 169
generator owners and transmission owners will experience a unit failure of this duration each year.

Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
