RD20-1. Reliability Standard
PRC-006-NPCC-2 establishes consistent and coordinated requirements
for the design, implementation, and analysis of automatic
underfrequency load shedding (UFLS) programs among all NPCC
applicable entities. These requirements are more stringent and
specific than the NERC continent-wide UFLS Reliability Standard,
PRC-006-3, and were established such that the declining frequency
is arrested and recovered in accordance with NPCC performance
requirements. NPCC revised currently effective Regional Reliability
Standard PRC-006-NPCC-1 to remove redundancies with the Reliability
Standard PRC-006-3, clarify obligations for registered entities,
improve communication of island boundaries to affected registered
entities, and provide entities with the flexibility to calculate
net load shed for UFLS in certain situations. RM16-22: Reliability
Standard PRC-027-1: The purpose of proposed Reliability Standard
PRC-027-1 is to maintain the coordination of Protection Systems
installed to detect and isolate Faults on Bulk Electric System
(BES) Elements, such that those Protection Systems operate in the
intended sequence during Faults. RM16-20: Reliability Standard
PRC-012-2 is to supersede “pending” Reliability Standards
PRC-012-1, PRC-013-1, and PRC-014-1 and to retire and replace
currently-effective Reliability Standards PRC-015-1 and PRC-016-1.
Reliability Standard PRC-012-2 represents substantial improvements
over these Reliability Standards because it streamlines and
consolidates existing requirements; corrects the applicability of
previously unapproved Reliability Standards; and implements a
continent-wide RAS review program.

The purpose of Reliability
Standard PRC-006-NPCC-2 (contained within FERC-725G) is to revise
currently effective Regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-NPCC-1 to
remove redundancies with the Reliability Standard PRC-006-3,
clarify obligations for registered entities, improve communication
of island boundaries to affected registered entities, and provide
entities with the flexibility to calculate net load shed for UFLS
in certain situations. FERC-725I (OMB Control No. 1902-0258)
includes Version 1 of the standard. FERC-725I was pending review at
OMB for regular renewal review and only one item per OMB control
number can be pending at a time. Therefore, we are temporarily
double counting that burden.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
