Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimates of the burden and cost of the

FERC–725T [Mandatory Reliability
Standards for the Bulk-Power System:
TRE Reliability Standards]
OMB Control No.: 1902–0273.
Abstract: Reliability Standard BAL–
001–TRE–01 applies to entities
registered as Generator Owners (GOs),
Generator Operators (GOPs), and
Balancing Authorities (BAs) within the
Texas Reliability Entity region.
Regional Reliability Standard BAL–
001–TRE–01 is more comprehensive
than the existing continent-wide
Reliability Standards addressing
frequency response, BAL–001–0.1a and
BAL–003–0.1b in that the regional
standard includes additional
requirements and applies to generator
owners and generator operators as well
as balancing authorities. The expanded
applicability of the regional Reliability
Standard, thus, increases the reporting

burden for entities that operate within
the ERCOT 1 Interconnection.
The information collection
requirements entail the setting or
configuration of the Control System
software, identification and recording of
events, data retention, and submitting
frequency measurable events to the
compliance enforcement authority
(Regional Entity or NERC).
Submitting frequency measurable
events. As per Requirement R1, the BA
has to identify and post information
regarding Frequency Measurable Events
(FME). Further, the BA has to calculate
and report to the Compliance
Enforcement Authority data related to
Primary Frequency Response (PFR)
performance of each generating unit/
generating facility.
Data retention. The BA, GO, and GOP
shall keep data or evidence to show
compliance, as identified below, unless
directed by its Compliance Enforcement
Authority to retain specific evidence for
a longer period of time as part of an
investigation. Compliance audits are
generally about three years apart.
• The BA shall retain a list of
identified Frequency Measurable Events
and shall retain FME information since
its last compliance audit for
Requirement R1, Measure M1.
• The BA shall retain all monthly
PFR performance reports since its last
compliance audit for Requirement R2,
Measure M2.
• The BA shall retain all annual
Interconnection minimum Frequency
Response calculations, and related
methodology and criteria documents,
relating to time periods since its last
compliance audit for Requirement R3,
Measure M3.
• The BA shall retain all data and
calculations relating to the
Interconnection’s Frequency Response,

and all evidence of actions taken to
increase the Interconnection’s
Frequency Response, since its last
compliance audit for Requirements R4
and R5, Measures M4 and M5.
• Each GOP shall retain evidence
since its last compliance audit for
Requirement R8, Measure M8.
• Each GO shall retain evidence since
its last compliance audit for
Requirements R6, R7, R9 and R10,
Measures M6, M7, M9 and M10.
Modification to Governor Controller
Setting/Configuration (to be removed
from the FERC–725T information
collection). This category of response
burden is being removed from FERC–
725T. The ‘‘Modification to Governor
Controller Setting/Configuration’’
category was a one-time requirement
related to implementation of the BAL–
001–TRE–01 Reliability Standard. Each
GO was required to set its governor
settings according to Requirement R6. In
order to modify its settings, the GO had
to generate governor test reports,
governor setting sheets, and/or
performance monitoring reports. The
burden (912 hours) associated with this
category was averaged over 2014–2016 2.
The response requirements included in
this category were complete within 18
months of the effective date of the
standard 3 or by 10/1/2015. Due to
completion, the corresponding 304
annual burden hours are now being
removed.
Type of Respondent: NERC Registered
entities (specifically balancing
authorities, generator owners, generator
operators).
Estimate of Annual Burden: 4 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:
