The approved revision to the
definition of generator owner in the
NERC Glossary is: 7
The entity that: (1) owns and maintains
generating Facility(ies) (Category 1 GO); or
(2) owns and maintains non-BES InverterBased Resource(s) that either have or
contribute to an aggregate nameplate capacity
of greater than or equal to 20 MVA,
connected through a system designed
primarily for delivering such capacity to a
common point of connection at a voltage
greater than or equal to 60 kV (Category 2
GO).

The approved revision to the
definition of generator operator in the
NERC Glossary is: 8
The entity that: (1) operates generating
Facility(ies) and performs the functions of
supplying energy and Interconnected
Operations Services (Category 1 GOP); or (2)
operates non-BES Inverter-Based Resource(s)
that either have or contribute to an aggregate
nameplate capacity of greater than or equal
to 20 MVA, connected through a system
designed primarily for delivering such
capacity to a common point of connection at
a voltage greater than or equal to 60 kV
(Category 2 GOP).

As a result of the inclusion of category
2 resources in the NERC Glossary,
applicable responsible entities will have
to comply with reporting requirements
for this information collection for each
of the eight reliability standards
included in NERC’s implementation
plan associated with Docket No. RD25–
10. The eight applicable Reliability
Standards are: BAL–001–TRE–2; IRO–
010–5; MOD–032–1; PRC–012–2; PRC–
017–1; TOP–003–6.1; VAR–001–5; and
VAR–002–4.1.
Reliability Standard BAL–001–TRE–2
is currently located in the FERC–725T
(OMB Control No. 1902–0273)
collection. The purpose of Reliability
Standard BAL–001–TRE–2 is to
maintain interconnection steady-state
frequency within defined limits. The
category 2 generator owners and
generator operators will now have to
follow Requirements R6 through R10.
Requirements R6, R7, R9, and R10
require the generator owner to set their
governor parameters to be responsive to
frequency obligations and provide
notification to other entities when their
governor is unavailable. Requirement R8
requires generator operators notify their
balancing authority of service status
changes.
Reliability Standard IRO–010–5 is
currently located in the FERC–725Z
(OMB Control No. 1902–0276)
collection. The purpose of the standard
is to prevent instability, uncontrolled
separation, or cascading outages that

adversely impact reliability by ensuring
each reliability coordinator has the data
and information it needs to plan,
monitor and assess the operation of its
reliability coordinator area. The
category 2 generator owners and
operators will now have to meet
Requirement R3 that requires the
generator owners and generator
operators to satisfy the obligations of the
documented specifications from the
reliability coordinator on data and
information needed for the operational
planning analyses, real-time monitoring,
and real-time assessments. Reliability
Standard MOD–032–1 is currently
located in the FERC–725L (OMB Control
No. 1902–0261) collection. The purpose
of the standard is to establish consistent
modeling data requirements and
reporting procedures for development of
planning horizon cases necessary to
support analysis of the reliability of the
interconnected transmission system.
The category 2 generator owners will
now have to follow Requirements R2
and R3 that require generator owners
provide modeling data to and address
any concerns raised by the planning
coordinator or transmission planner.
Reliability Standards PRC–012–2 and
PRC–017–1 are currently located in the
FERC–725G (OMB Control No. 1902–
0252) collection. The purpose of PRC–
012–2 is to ensure that remedial action
schemes (RAS) do not introduce
unintentional or unacceptable reliability
risks to the BES. The stated purpose of
Reliability Standard PRC–017–1 is to
ensure that all RAS are properly
designed, meet performance
requirements, and are coordinated with
other protection systems and to ensure
that maintenance and testing programs
are developed and misoperations are
analyzed and corrected. The category 2
generator owners, that are part of a RAS,
will now have to follow Requirements
R1, R3, and R5 through R8 in Reliability
Standard PRC–012–2 and Requirements
R1 and R2 in Reliability Standard PRC–
017–1. Specifically, Reliability Standard
PRC–012–2 requires that generator
owners that own all or part of a RAS to

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 268001

review and provide information to their
reliability coordinator in R1 and R3; and
to test, analyze performance, and take
corrective action, if needed, in
Requirements R5 through R8.
Requirements R1 and R2 of Reliability
Standard PRC–017–1 require generator
owners that own a RAS to maintain and
document a system maintenance and
testing program.
Reliability Standard TOP–003–6.1 is
currently located in the FERC–725A
(OMB Control No. 1902–0244)
collection. The purpose of this standard
is to ensure that each transmission
operator and balancing authority has the
data and information it needs to plan,
monitor, and assess the operation of its
transmission operator area or balancing
authority area. The category 2 generator
owners and generator operators will
now have to follow Requirement R5,
which requires generator owners and
generator operators to satisfy the
obligations of the documented
specifications of data and information
related to operational planning analyses,
real-time monitoring, and real-time
assessments provided by the
transmission operator or balancing
authority.
Reliability Standards VAR–001–5 and
VAR–002–4.1 are currently located in
the FERC–725X (OMB Control No.
1902–0278) collection. The purpose of
Reliability Standard VAR–001–5 is to
ensure that voltage levels, reactive
flows, and reactive resources are
monitored, controlled, and maintained
within limits in real-time to protect
equipment and the reliable operation of
the interconnection. The purpose of
Reliability Standard VAR–002–4.1 is to
ensure generators provide reactive
support and voltage control, within
generating facility capabilities, in order
to protect equipment and maintain
reliable operation of the
interconnection. The category 2
generator owners in Western Electricity
Coordinating Council (WECC) will now
have to follow Requirements E.A.15 and
E.A.17 in Reliability Standard VAR–
001–5. The category 2 generator

operators will now have to follow
Reliability Standard VAR–002–4.1,
Requirements R1 through 4 and the
category 2 generator owners will now
have to follow Requirements R5 and R6.
Specifically, Requirements E.A.15 and
E.A. 17 require generator operators in
WECC to provide voltage set point
conversion methodologies to its
transmission operator and to meet
control loop specifications.
Requirements R1 through 4 of
Reliability Standard VAR–002–4.1
require the generator operators to
operate their generators in automatic
voltage control mode, maintain voltage
schedules, and to notify their
transmission operator in the event of a
change. Requirements R5 and R6 require
the generator owner to provide data and
tap settings information to their
transmission operator and transmission
planner and to ensure transformer tap
positions are changed according to the
specifications provided by the
transmission operator.
Type of Respondents: Generator
owners and generator operator entities
registered with NERC that own or
operate category 2 resources.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 9 The
applicable requirements from the eight
applicable Reliability Standards largely
consist of sharing and communicating
readily available data and information
for category 2 resources. Thus,
Commission staff anticipates that the
paperwork burden should be minimal
for category 2 resources. The number of
respondents, in the tables below, are
based on good faith estimates provided
by NERC, in August 2025, to
Commission staff for the number of
entities that either own or operate
category 2 resources.
The Commission estimates the annual
reporting burden and cost for the
information collection as:
9 ‘‘Burden’’ is defined as 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, see 5 CFR 1320.3.
