SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission or FERC) is soliciting public comment on the
currently approved information collection, FERC-725 [Certification of

Standards]. The Commission previously issued a Notice in the Federal
Register (80 FR 50846, 8/21/2015) requesting public comments. The
Commission received no comments on the FERC-725 and is making this
notation in its submittal to OMB.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC-725, Certification of Electric Reliability
Organization; Procedures for Electric Reliability Standards.
OMB Control No.:1902-0225.
Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-725 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
Abstract: The FERC-725 information collection contains the
following information collection elements:
Self Assessment and Electric Reliability Organization
(ERO) Application: The Commission requires the ERO to submit to FERC a
performance assessment report every five years. The next assessment is
due in 2019. Each Regional Entity submits a performance assessment
report to the

[[Page 68533]]

ERO. Submitting an application to become an ERO is also part of this
collection.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ The Commission does not expect any new ERO applications to
be submitted in the next five years and is not including any burden
for this requirement in the burden estimate. FERC still seeks to
renew the regulations pertaining to a new ERO application under this
renewal but is expecting the burden to be zero for the foreseeable
future. 18 CFR 39.3 contains the regulation pertaining to ERO
applications.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reliability Assessments: 18 CFR 39.11 requires the ERO to
assess the reliability and adequacy of the Bulk-Power System in North
America. Subsequently, the ERO must report to the Commission on its
findings. Regional entities perform similar assessments within
individual regions. Currently, the ERO submits to FERC three
assessments each year: Long term, winter, and summer. In addition, NERC
also submits various other assessments as needed.
Reliability Standards Development: Under section 215 of
the Federal Power Act (FPA), the ERO is charged with developing
Reliability Standards. Regional Entities may also develop regional
specific standards. Reliability Standards are one of the three
principal mechanisms provided to FERC to ensure reliability on the
Bulk-Power System.
Reliability Compliance: Reliability Standards are
mandatory and enforceable upon approval by FERC. In addition to the
specific information collection requirements contained in each
Reliability Standard (cleared under other information collections),
there are general compliance, monitoring and enforcement information
collection requirements imposed on applicable entities. Audits, spot
checks, self-certifications, exception data submittals, violation
reporting, and mitigation plan confirmation are included in this area.
Stakeholder Survey: The ERO uses a stakeholder survey to
solicit feedback from registered entities \2\ in preparation for its
three year and five year self-performance assessment. The Commission
assumes that the ERO will perform another survey prior to the 2019
self- assessment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\2\ A ``registered entity'' is an entity that is registered with
the ERO. All Bulk-Power System owners, operators and users are
required to register with the ERO. Registration is the basis for
determining the Reliability Standards with which an entity must
comply. See http://www.nerc.com/page.php?cid=3%7C25 for more
details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Reporting: This category refers to all other
reporting requirements imposed on the ERO or regional entities in order
to comply with the Commission's regulations. For example, FERC may
require NERC to submit a special reliability assessment. This category
is mentioned to capture these types of one-time filings required of
NERC or the Regions.
The Commission implements its responsibilities through 18 CFR part
39. Without the FERC-725 information, the Commission, ERO, and Regional
Entities will not have the data needed to determine whether sufficient
and appropriate measures are being taken to ensure the reliability of
the nation's electric grid.
Type of Respondents: ERO and regional entities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: \3\ The Commission estimates the total
Public Reporting Burden for this information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\3\ The Commission defines burden 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, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.
\4\ In all instances below where the number of responses per
respondent is ``1'' the Commission acknowledges that actual number
of responses varies and cannot be estimated clearly.
\5\ Uses the weighted hourly average wage (salary plus benefits)
for electrical engineers and lawyers obtained from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (data for May 2014, posted on 4/1/2015 at http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm): $91.82/hour. The weighted
average used the following calculation: [(0.20) * ($129.87) + (0.60)
* ($66.45) + (0.2) * ($39.18)] = $73.68. $129.87/hour is the wage
for lawyers. $66.45/hour is the wage for engineers. $39.17/hour is
the wage for office and administrative support. Occupation codes are
23-0000, 17-2071, and 43-0000 respectively.
