Title: Proposed revisions FERC-725; proposed new collection FERC-
725G1 (Certification of the Electric Reliability Organization and
Procedures for the Establishment, Approval and Enforcement of Electric
Reliability Standards; Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk-
Power System: Reliability Standard PRC-004-3).
OMB Control No.: 1902-0269 (FERC-725); TBD (FERC-725G1).
Abstract: On September 15, 2014, the North American Electric
Reliability Corporation (NERC) submitted a petition seeking approval of
a revised Protection and Control (PRC) Reliability Standard PRC-004-3--
Protection System Misoperation Identification and Correction, pursuant
to section 215(d)(1) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) \1\ and section
39.5 of the Commission's regulations.\2\ The revised Reliability
Standard, which replaces Reliability Standards PRC-004-2.1a (Analysis
and Mitigation of Transmission and Generation Protection System
Misoperations) and PRC-003-1 (Regional Procedures for Analysis of
Misoperations of Transmission and Generation Protection System),
requires transmission owners, generator owners, and distribution
providers to identify and correct causes of misoperations of certain
protection systems. NERC also requests approval of two new terms
utilized in the proposed Reliability Standard, to be included in NERC's
Glossary of Terms Used in NERC Reliability Standards (NERC Glossary).
Finally, NERC requests approval of its implementation plan for
Reliability Standard PRC-004-3, including the retirement of Reliability
Standards PRC-004-2.1a and PRC-003-1, as well as approval of the
associated Violation Risk Factors (VRFs) and Violation Severity Levels
(VSLs). FERC determined that revised Reliability Standard PRC-004-3,
including the associated new Glossary terms and implementation plan, is
just, reasonable, not unduly discriminatory or preferential and in the
public interest. We accept the violation severity levels associated
with the standard as proposed by NERC, however, we direct NERC to
submit a compliance filing, within 60 days of issuance of this order,
to address the Commission's concerns with the VRF designations for
Requirements R1 through R6.

\1\ 16 U.S.C. Sec. 824o(d)(1) (2012).
\2\ 18 CFR Sec. 39.5 (2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Type of Respondent: Businesses or other for-profit institutions;
not-for-profit institutions.
Estimate of Annual Burden: Reliability Standard PRC-004-3 requires
each transmission owner, generator owner, and distribution provider to
provide notification of BES interrupting devices that operated in
accordance with the Requirement R2.\3\ Our estimate below regarding the
number of respondents is based on the NERC Compliance Registry as of
January 30, 2015. According to the NERC Compliance Registry, NERC has
registered in the United States 326 transmission owners (TO), 914
generator owners (GO), and 471 distribution providers (DP). However,
under NERC's compliance registration program, entities may be
registered for multiple functions, so these numbers incorporate some
double counting. The total number of unique entities that may be
identified as a notification provider (e.g., applicable entity) in
accordance with Reliability Standard PRC-004-3 will be approximately
659 entities registered in the United States as a transmission owner,
generator owner, and/or distribution provider.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\3\ Requirement R2--Each Transmission Owner, Generator Owner,
and Distribution Provider that owns a BES interrupting device that
operated shall, within 120 calendar days of the BES interrupting
device operation, provide notification as described in Parts 2.1 and
2.2.

\4\ FERC-725G is a currently pending request at OMB. Only one
submittal can be pending OMB review under each control number,
therefore, FERC-725G1 will be used for timely submittal.
\5\ The estimates for cost per response are derived using the
following formula: Average Burden Hours per Response * $n per Hour =
Average Cost per Response. The $73 hourly cost figure is the average
of the salary plus benefits for a manager and an engineer (rounded
to the nearest dollar); $32/hour is the salary plus benefits for
information and record clerks. The figures are taken from the Bureau
of Labor Statistics at http://bls.gov/oes/current/naics3_221000.htm.
