Temperature Events).1 Further, NERC
seeks approval of the associated
implementation plan, violation risk
factors, and violation severity levels.
NERC also seeks approval of a proposed
definition of ‘‘extreme temperature
assessment’’ for inclusion in the NERC
Glossary of Terms Used in NERC
Reliability Standards (NERC Glossary).2
For the reasons discussed below,
pursuant In Order No. 896, the
Commission directed NERC to submit a
new or modified Reliability Standard
that addresses the Commission’s
identified concerns pertaining to
transmission system planning for
extreme heat and cold weather events
that impact the Reliable Operation of
the Bulk-Power System.3 Specifically,
the Commission directed NERC to
develop a new or modified Reliability
Standard that requires the following: (1)
development of benchmark planning
cases based on major prior extreme heat
and cold weather events and/or
meteorological projections; (2) planning
for extreme heat and cold weather
events using steady state and transient
stability analyses expanded to cover a
range of extreme weather scenarios
including the expected resource mix’s
availability during extreme heat and
cold weather conditions; and (3)
development of corrective action plans
that mitigate certain instances where
performance requirements for extreme
heat and cold weather events are not
met.4
The FERC–725N information
collection requirements are subject to
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under section 3507(d) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
OMB’s regulations require approval of
certain information collection
requirements imposed by agency rules.
Upon approval of a collection of
information, OMB will assign an OMB
control number and expiration date.
Respondents subject to the filing
requirements will not be penalized for
failing to respond to these collections of
information unless the collections of
information display a valid OMB
control number.
The Commission solicits comments
on the need for this information,
whether the information will have
practical utility, the accuracy of the
burden estimates, ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected or retained,

and any suggested methods for
minimizing respondents’ burden,
including the use of automated
information techniques. The
Commission bases its paperwork burden
estimates on the additional paperwork
burden presented by the proposed new
Reliability Standard TPL–008–1. The
new defined term ‘‘extreme temperature
assessment’’ is not expected to generate
any new burden as it is a definition

used within the body of Reliability
Standards. Reliability Standards are
objective-based and allow entities to
choose compliance approaches best
tailored to their systems. Additionally,
proposed Reliability Standard TPL–
008–1, Requirement R1 identifies each
responsible entity that shall complete its
responsibilities such that the extreme
temperature assessment is completed at
least once every five calendar years. The

NERC Compliance Registry, as of
November 20, 2024, identifies unique
U.S. entities that are subject to
mandatory compliance with proposed
Reliability Standard TPL–008–1, as 62
planning coordinators (PC) and 204
transmission planners (TP). Based on
these assumptions, we estimate the
following reporting burden:

The annual responses and burden

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit institutions; not-for-profit
institutions.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Necessity of the Information: This
order approves the Reliability Standard
pertaining to transmission system
planning performance requirements for
extreme temperature events. As
discussed above, the Commission
proposes to approve proposed
Reliability Standard TPL–008–1
pursuant to section 215(d)(2) of the FPA
because it establishes transmission
system planning performance
requirements to help ensure that the
Bulk-Power System will operate reliably
during extreme heat and extreme cold
temperature events.
Internal Review: The Commission has
reviewed the proposed Reliability
Standard and made a determination that
its action is necessary to implement
section 215 of the FPA.
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
