Abstract: On March 7, 2019, the North
American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC) requested
Commission approval of Reliability
Standard CIP–008–6 (Cyber Security—
Incident Reporting and Response
Planning). Reliability Standard CIP–
008–6 addresses the Commission’s
directive in Order No. 848 to develop
modifications to the Reliability
Standards to require reporting of Cyber
Security Incidents that compromise, or
attempt to compromise, a Responsible
Entity’s Electronic Security Perimeter
(ESP) or associated Electronic Access
Control or Monitoring Systems
(EACMS).1
Reliability Standard CIP–008–6,
among other things, requires
Responsible Entities 2 to broaden the
mandatory reporting of Cyber Security
Incidents to include compromises or
attempts to compromise BES Cyber
Systems or their associated ESPs or
EACMS. Reliability Standard CIP–008–
6 will not significantly increase the
reporting burden on entities because it
builds off the reporting threshold in the
previous version of the Reliability
Standard, Reliability Standard CIP–008–
5.
Type of Respondents: Balancing
Authority, Distribution Provider,
Generator Operator, Generator Owner,
Reliability Coordinator, Transmission
Operator, and Transmission Owner.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 The
Commission estimates the changes in
the annual public reporting burden and
cost as indicated below.4
1 Cyber Security Incident Reporting Reliability
Standards, Order No. 848, 164 FERC ¶ 61,033
(2018).
2 ‘‘Responsible Entities’’ refers to Balancing
Authority, Distribution Provider, Generator
Operator, Generator Owner, Reliability Coordinator,
Transmission Operator, and Transmission Owner.
3 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.
4 For the earlier version of the Reliability
Standard retired in Docket No. RD19–3–000, the
baseline numbers for respondents, burden, and cost
are the same figures as those in Order No. 848. The
requirements and burdens from the retired
Reliability Standard are continued in Reliability
Standard CIP–008–6, plus the additional
requirements and burdens as indicated in the table.

information will have practical utility;

of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility

the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

5 There are 1,414 unique registered entities in the
NERC compliance registry as of May 24, 2019. Of
this total, we estimate that 288 entities will face an
increased paperwork burden.
6 The loaded hourly wage figure (includes
benefits) is based on the average of the occupational
categories for 2017 found on the Bureau of Labor
Statistics website: https://www.bls.gov/oes/2017/
may/oessrci.htm.
Legal (Occupation Code: 23–0000): $143.68.
Information Security Analysts (Occupation Code
15–1122): $61.55.
Computer and Information Systems Managers
(Occupation Code: 11–3021): $96.51.
Management (Occupation Code: 11–0000):
$94.28.
Electrical Engineer (Occupation Code: 17–2071):
$66.90.
Management Analyst (Code: 43–0000): $63.32.
These various occupational categories are
weighted as follows: [($94.28)(.10) + ($61.55)(.315)
+ ($66.90)(.02) + ($143.68)(.15) + ($96.51)(.10) +
($63.32)(.315)] = $81.30. The figure is rounded to
$81.00 for use in calculating wage figures in this
order.
7 One-time burdens apply in Year 1 only.
8 Ongoing burdens apply in Year 2 and beyond.
