Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 235 / Monday, December 7, 2020 / Notices
proposed to the ERO by a Regional
Entity.4 A Regional Entity is an entity
that has been approved by the
Commission to enforce Reliability
Standards under delegated authority
from the ERO.5 On March 17, 2011, the
Commission approved a regional
Reliability Standard submitted by the
ERO that was developed by the
ReliabilityFirst Corporation (RF).6
RF promotes bulk electric system
reliability in the Eastern
Interconnection. RF is the Regional
Entity responsible for compliance
monitoring and enforcement in the RF
region. In addition, RF provides an
environment for the development of

Commission’s compliance with section
215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16
U.S.C. 824o), which enables the
Commission to strengthen the reliability
of the bulk-power system.1 The
Commission’s implementation of FPA
section 215 involves review and
approval of a system of mandatory
Reliability Standards that are
established and enforced by an Electric
Reliability Organization (ERO).2 The
Commission has certified the North
American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC) as the ERO.3
Reliability Standards that the ERO
proposes to the Commission may
include Reliability Standards that are

78847

Reliability Standards and the
coordination of the operating and
planning activities of its members as set
forth in the RF bylaws.
There is one regional Reliability
Standard in the RF region. The
Commission requests renewal of OMB
clearance for that regional Reliability
Standard, known as BAL–502–RF–03
(Planning Resource Adequacy Analysis,
Assessment and Documentation).
Type of Respondents: Planning
coordinators.

1 FPA section 251(a)(1) defines bulk-power
system as follows: (A) facilities and control systems
necessary for operating an interconnected electric
energy transmission network (or any portion
thereof); and (B) electric energy from generation
facilities needed to maintain transmission system
reliability. The term does not include facilities used
in the local distribution of electric energy.
2 FPA section 215(a)(2) defines ‘‘Electric
Reliability Organization’’ as ‘‘the organization
certified by the Commission under subsection (c)
the purpose of which is to establish and enforce
reliability standards for the bulk-power system,
subject to Commission review.’’

7 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 CFR 1320.3.
8 For BAL–502–RF–03, the hourly cost (for salary
plus benefits) uses the figures from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics for three positions involved in the
reporting and recordkeeping requirements. These

figures include salary (https://www.bls.gov/oes/
current/oes_nat.htm) and benefits (http://
www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm) and are:
• Manager (Occupation Code 11–0000): $94.84/
hour
• Engineer (Occupation Code 17–2071): $85.71/
hour
• File Clerk (Occupation Code 43–4071): $52.60/
hour
The hourly cost for the reporting requirements
($77.72) is an average of the cost of a manager, an
engineer, and a file clerk.
9 The number of respondents is derived from the
NERC Compliance Registry as of October 2, 2020 for
the burden associated with the proposed regional
Reliability Standard BAL–502–RF–03.

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.
