Type of Request: Three-year approval
of the FERC–725V information
collection requirements, as modified.
Abstract: On August 15, 2016, the
North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC) 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, for approval
of proposed Reliability Standard COM–
001–3 (Communications), the associated
Implementation Plan, retirement of
currently-effective Reliability Standard
COM–001–2.1, and Violation Risk
Factors (‘‘VRFs’’) and Violation Severity
Levels (‘‘VSLs’’) associated with new
Requirements R12 and R13 proposed in
Reliability Standard COM–001–3.

compliance with the Commission’s
directive in Order No. 888 that NERC
‘‘develop modifications to COM–001–2,
or develop a new standard, to address
[the Commission’s] concerns regarding
ensuring the adequacy of internal
communications capability whenever
internal communications could directly
affect the reliability operations of the
Bulk-Power System.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 With
respect to the proposed revisions to
Reliability Standard COM–001–3 and
the retirement of the currently-effective
Reliability Standard COM–001–2.1, the
Commission estimates that there will be
no material change in industry
information collection obligations
because the Requirements R12 and R13
(which are additions to COM–001–3) do
not impact the paperwork burden of
impacted registered entities.
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.
