Petition of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation
for Approval of Proposed Reliability Standard PRC-002-4

Dear Ms. Perotti:
On March 10, 2023, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC)
filed a petition seeking approval of proposed Reliability Standard PRC-002-4
(Disturbance Monitoring and Reporting Requirements), the associated Violation Risk
Factors and Violation Severity Levels, and the proposed implementation plan including
the retirement of the currently effective Reliability Standard PRC-002-3.
NERC’s proposed revisions: (1) clarify requirements for notifications under the
standard, including when generator owners and transmission owners must have data for
an applicable transformer or transmission line; (2) clarify and make consistent
terminology used in the Standard; (3) incorporate the implementation timeframe for
newly-identified facilities; and (4) add a criterion defining substantial changes in fault
current levels requiring changing the locations for which certain data is recorded.
NERC’s petition was noticed on March 16, 2023, with interventions, comments,
and protests due on or before April 10, 2023. One motion to intervene was received from
the American Public Power Association.
NERC’s uncontested filing is hereby approved pursuant to the relevant authority
delegated to the Director, Office of Electric Reliability under 18 C.F.R. § 375.303 (2022),
effective as of the date of this order.
