Abstract: On August 15, 2016, the

Commission approval, pursuant to

section 215(d)(1) of the Federal Power
Act (‘‘FPA’’) 1 and Section 39.5 2 of the
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s regulations, for
Reliability Standard COM–001–3
(Communications), the associated
Implementation Plan, retirement of
currently-effective Reliability Standard
COM–001–2.1, and Violation Risk
Factors (‘‘VRFs’’) and Violation Severity
Levels (‘‘VSLs’’) associated with new
Requirements R12 and R13 in
Reliability Standard COM–001–3.
Reliability Standard COM–001–3
reflects revisions developed under
Project 2015–07 Internal
Communications Capabilities, in
compliance with the Commission’s
directive in Order No. 888 that NERC
‘‘develop modifications to COM–001–2,
or develop a new standard, to address
the Commission’s concerns regarding
ensuring the adequacy of internal
communications capability whenever
internal communications could directly
affect reliable operations.
Reliability Standards COM–001–2 and
COM–002–4 do not require responsible
entities to file information with the
Commission. COM–001–2 requires that
transmission operators, balancing
authorities, reliability coordinators,
distribution providers, and generator
operators to maintain documentation of
interpersonal communication capability
and designation of Alternate
Interpersonal Communication, as well
as evidence of testing of the Alternate
Interpersonal Communication facilities.
COM–002–4 requires balancing
authorities, distribution providers,
reliability coordinators, transmission
operators, and generator operators to
develop and maintain documented
communication protocols, and to be
able to provide evidence of training on
the protocols in their annual
assessment. Additionally, all applicable
entities (balancing authorities,
reliability coordinators, transmission
operators, generator operators, and
distribution providers) must be able to
provide evidence of three-part
communication when issuing or
receiving an operating instruction
during an Emergency.
The one-time consideration of
responsibility for COM–002–4
associated with Requirement R1 is no
longer needed as entities previously
developed protocols associated with
effective communication. The ongoing
work for COM–001–3 and COM–002–4
will remain the same, but the type of job
responsibilities to follow the
requirements will be split between an
