AGENCY:

The Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission or

Notice in the Federal Register
requesting public comments on the
revisions to FERC–725A (Mandatory
Reliability Standards for the Bulk-Power
System), and FERC–725Z (Mandatory

no comments.
Another unrelated item is currently
pending review at the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under

Reliability Standards: IRO Reliability
Standards)
OMB Control No.: TBD (FERC–
725A(1C)) and 1902–0276 (FERC–725Z).
Type of Request: Revisions to the
information collection FERC–725Z and
implementation of new ‘placeholder’
information collection FERC–725A(1C),
as discussed in Docket No. RD17–4–000.
Abstract: In a Petition dated March 6,
2017, the North American Electric
Reliability Corporation (‘‘NERC’’)
requested Commission approval for
proposed Reliability Standards IRO–
002–5 (Reliability Coordination,
Monitoring and Analysis) and TOP–
001–4 (Transmission Operations). NERC
stated that the ‘‘proposed Reliability
Standards address the Commission
directives in Order No. 817 related to:
(i) Transmission operator monitoring of
non-bulk electric system (‘‘BES’’)
facilities; (ii) redundancy and diverse
routing of transmission operator,
balancing authority, and reliability
coordinator data exchange capabilities;
and (iii) testing of alternative or less
frequently used data exchange
capabilities.’’ In addition, NERC
requested Commission approval of the
retirement of Reliability Standards
TOP–001–3 and IRO–002–4. In an order
on April 17, 2017,1 the implementation
of Reliability Standards IRO–002–5 and
TOP–001–4 and the retirement of
Reliability Standards IRO–002–4 and
TOP–001–3 were approved.
Type of Respondents: Transmission
operators (TOP), balancing authorities
(BA), and reliability coordinators (RC).
Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 The
Commission estimates the changes in
the annual public reporting burden and
cost due to Docket No. RD17–4–000 as
follows.3
1 The Delegated Letter Order is available in the
Commission’s eLibrary at https://elibrary.ferc.gov/
idmws/common/OpenNat.asp?fileID=14560616.
2 Burden is defined 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, refer to 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.
3 For the Reliability Standards being retired in
Docket No. RD17–4, the baseline numbers for
respondents, burden, and cost are the same figures
as those in Order No. 817. The requirements and
burdens (from the standards being retired) are
continuing in the new standards, plus there are
additional requirements and burdens as indicated
in the table.

(As of 7/5/2017, the total OMBapproved annual burden inventory for
4 Our estimates are based on the NERC
Compliance Registry of 12/12/2016, which
indicates that, within the United States, there are
323 entities registered as TOPs, 99 entities
registered as BAs, and 11 entities registered as RCs.

One entity may be registered as having several
roles.
5 The hourly cost figures, for salary plus benefits,
for the new standards are based on Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) information (at http://www.bls.gov/
oes/current/naics2_22.htm), as of May 2015. For
reporting requirements, an electrical engineer (code
17–2071) is $64.29/hour; for the recordkeeping
requirements, an information and record clerk (code
43–4199) is $37.75/hour.

6 The reporting and recordkeeping requirements
and the associated burden will continue in TOP–
001–4 (formerly included in TOP–001–3, which is
now being retired). The corresponding estimated
burden for the 196 TOPs and BAs continues to be
96 hours per response (or a total estimated burden
of 18,816 hours). These burdens continue in FERC–
725A with no change, so a formal submittal for
FERC–725A will not be made at this time. The

FERC–725A is 1,642,395 hours; the total
OMB-approved annual burden
inventory for FERC–725Z is 49,331
hours.11 Because FERC–725A(1C) is a
new ‘placeholder’ information
collection number, the current
inventory is 0.)
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the collections of
information are 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
estimates of the burden and cost of the
collections of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collections; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collections
of information on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
