Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 9, 2023 / Notices

Abstract: FERC–725A(1B).1 Under
section 215 of the Federal Power Act
(FPA), the Commission proposes to
approve Reliability Standards TOP–
010–1i (Real-time Reliability Monitoring
and Analysis Capabilities) submitted by
North American Electric Corporation
(NERC). In this order, the Reliability
Standards build on monitoring, realtime assessments and support effective
situational awareness. The Reliability
Standards accomplish this by requiring
applicable entities to: (1) Provide
notification to operators of real-time
monitoring alarm failures; (2) provide
operators with indications of the quality

of information being provided by their
monitoring and analysis capabilities;
and (3) address deficiencies in the
quality of information being provided
by their monitoring and analysis
capabilities. FERC–725A(1B) addresses
situational awareness objectives by
providing for operator awareness when
key alarming tools are not performing as
intended. These collections will
improve real-time situational awareness
capabilities and enhance reliable
operations by requiring reliability
coordinators, transmission operators,
and balancing authorities to provide
operators with an improved awareness

of system conditions analysis
capabilities, including alarm
availability, so that operators may take
appropriate steps to ensure reliability.
These functions include planning,
operations, data sharing, monitoring,
and analysis.
Type of Respondent: Balancing
Authority (BA), Transmission
Operations (TOP) and Reliability
Coordinators (RC).
Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 The
Commission estimates the total annual
burden and cost for this information
collection in the table below.

Take notice that the Commission
received the following electric rate
filings:
Docket Numbers: ER10–3145–015.

1 The 725(1B) collection was created as a
temporary collection number originally used at the
time of the RD16–6–000, because OMB cannot
review two pending requests with the same OMB
control no. at a given time. The FERC 725A is again
pending at OMB for an unrelated matter, thus we
are renewing the temporary number and the related
collection at this time.
2 ‘‘Burden’’ is 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 title 5 Code of Federal Regulations
1320.3.
3 Our estimates are based on the NERC
Compliance Registry Summary of Entities and

Functions as of November 4, 2022, which indicates
there are 266 entities registered as BA and TOP.
4 The number of respondents is the number of
entities in which a change in burden from the
current standards to the proposed standards exists,
not the total number of entities from the current or
proposed standards that are applicable.
5 The estimated hourly costs (salary plus benefits)
are based on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
information, as of May 2022 (at http://www.bls.gov/
oes/current/naics2_22.htm, with updated benefits
information for March 2022 at http://www.bls.gov/
news.release/ecec.nr0.htm), for an electrical
engineer (code 17–2071, $77.02/hour), and for
information and record clerks record keeper (code
43–4199, $42.35/hour). The hourly figure for
engineers is used for reporting; the hourly figure for

information and record clerks is used for document
retention.
6 Balancing Authority (BA). The following
Requirements and associated measures apply to
balancing authorities: Requirement R1: A revised
data specification and writing the required
operating process/operating procedure; and
Requirement R2: quality monitoring logs and the
data errors and corrective action logs.
7 Transmission Operations (TOP). The following
Requirements and associated measures apply to
transmission operators: Requirement R1: A revised
data specification and writing the required
operating process/operating procedure; and
Requirement R3: alarm process monitor
performance logs to maintain performance logs and
corrective action plans.
