Petition of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation and SERC
Reliability Corporation for Approval of Proposed Reliability Standard
PRC-006-SERC-03.

Dear Ms. Perotti and Ms. Ballard:
On December 14, 2021, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation
(NERC) and SERC Reliability Corporation (SERC) filed a joint petition seeking approval
of proposed regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-SERC-03 (Automatic
Underfrequency Load Shedding Requirements). NERC and SERC propose to retire
Requirement R1 of currently effective regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-SERC-02;
incorporate the existing frequency set points that entities in the former Florida Reliability
Coordinating Council Regional Entity have in place; and provide a second method for
calculating the percent of load shed based on these entities’ existing practices. In
addition, NERC and SERC propose to modify Requirement R2, Part 2.6 to clarify the
language of the requirement as well as retire Requirement R7 in the currently effective
version of the regional Reliability Standard.
The joint petition was noticed on December 20, 2021, with interventions,
comments, and protests due on or before January 19, 2022. No interventions, comments,
or protest were filed.
The uncontested filing is hereby approved pursuant to the relevant authority
