SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: FERC-725E, Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Western Electric Coordinating Council. OMB Control No.: 1902-0246. Type of Request: Revision to FERC-725E information collection requirements, as discussed in Docket Nos. RD18-1-000 and RD18-3-000. Abstract: The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) filed four joint petitions to modify/retire WECC regional Reliability Standards. On March 8 2018, NERC and WECC filed a joint petition in Docket No. RD18-2-000 \1\ requesting Commission approval of: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ The joint petition and exhibits are posted in the Commission's eLibrary system in Docket No. RD18-2-000 (BAL-004-WECC- 3 Petition). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regional Reliability Standard BAL-004-WECC-3 (Automatic Time Error Correction), and the retirement of existing regional Reliability Standard BAL-004-WECC-2. The petition states: ``Regional Reliability Standard BAL-004-WECC-3 seeks to maintain Interconnection frequency and to ensure that Time Error Corrections and Primary Inadvertent Interchange (``PII'') payback are effectively conducted in a manner that does not adversely affect the reliability of the [Western] Interconnection.'' \2\ The proposed modifications to the standard focus on the entities using a common tool. All other proposed changes are for clarification. The Commission is not changing the reporting requirements, nor is it modifying the burden, cost or respondents with this collection, and sees this as a non-material or non-substantive change to a currently approved collection. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ BAL-004-WECC-3 Petition, page 1. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- On March 16, 2018, NERC and WECC filed a joint petition in Docket No. RD18-5-000 \3\ requesting Commission approval of: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \3\ The joint petition and exhibits are posted in the Commission's eLibrary system in Docket No. RD18-5-000 (FAC-501-WECC- 2 Petition). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regional Reliability Standard FAC-501-WECC-2 (Transmission Maintenance), and the retirement of existing regional Reliability Standard FAC-501-WECC-1. The petition states: ``The purpose of FAC-501-WECC-2 is to ensure the Transmission Owner of a transmission path identified in the table titled ``Major WECC Transfer Paths in the Bulk Electric System'' (``WECC Transfer Path Table'' or ``Table''), including associated facilities, has a Transmission Maintenance and Inspection Plan (``TMIP'') and performs and documents maintenance and inspection activities in accordance with the TMIP.'' The modifications to the existing standard are for clarification of the transmission owner's obligations and to directly incorporate the list of applicable transmission paths. This list is currently posted on the WECC website and has not changed. The Commission is not changing reporting requirements nor is it modifying the burden, cost or respondents with this collection, and sees this as a non-material or non-substantive change to a currently approved collection. The Commission's request to OMB will reflect the following: Elimination of the burden associated with regional Reliability Standard VAR-002-WECC-2 (Automatic Voltage Regulators), which is proposed for retirement (addressed in Docket No. RD18-1 and discussed below); \4\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ The joint petition and exhibits are posted in the Commission's eLibrary system in Docket No. RD18-1-000 (VAR-002-WECC- 2 Petition). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- elimination of the burden associated with regional Reliability Standard PRC-004-WECC-2 (Protection System and Remedial Action Scheme Misoperation), which is proposed for retirement (addressed in Docket No. RD18-3 and discussed below),\5\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ The joint petition and exhibits are posted in the Commission's eLibrary system in Docket No. RD18-3-000 (WECC PRC-004- WECC-2 Retirement Petition). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- non-material or non-substantive changes (discussed above) in Docket Nos. RD18-2 and RD18-5. On March 7, 2018, NERC and WECC filed a joint petition in Docket No. RD18-1-000 requesting Commission approval to retire the WECC regional Reliability Standard VAR-002-WECC-2 (Automatic Voltage Regulators). According to the petition, the purpose of the proposed retirement is based on WECC's experience with regional Reliability Standard VAR-002-WECC-2 which has shown that the reliability-related issues addressed in the regional standard are adequately addressed by the continent-wide voltage and reactive [[Page 33926]] (``VAR'') Reliability Standards \6\ and that retention of the regional standard would not provide additional benefits for reliability. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \6\ The burdens related to continent-wide Reliability Standards VAR-001-4.2 (Voltage and Reactive Control) and VAR-002-4.1 (Generator Operation for Maintenance Network Voltage Schedules) are included in FERC-725A (Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk- Power System, OMB Control No. 1902-0244). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- On March 9, 2018, NERC and WECC filed a joint petition in Docket No. RD18-3-000 requesting Commission approval to retire the WECC regional Reliability Standard PRC-004-WECC-2 (Protection System and Remedial Action Scheme Misoperation). The purpose of the proposed retirement is based on NERC and WECC's belief that since the initial development of this regional standard, other continent-wide Reliability Standards \7\ have been developed that have made the requirements of this regional Reliability Standard redundant and no longer necessary for reliability in the Western Interconnection. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ The burdens related to continent-wide Reliability Standards mentioned in the petition: FAC-003-4 (Transmission Vegetation Management) are included in FERC-725M (Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk-Power System, OMB Control No. 1902-0263); PRC-001-1.1(ii) (System Protection Coordination) are included in FERC-725A (Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk-Power System, OMB Control No. 1902-0244); PRC-004-5(i) (Protection System Misoperation Identification and Correction), PRC-005-6 (Protection System, Automatic Reclosing, and Sudden Pressure Relaying Maintenance), PRC-012-2 (Remedial Action Schemes) are included in FERC-725G (Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk-Power System: PRC Standards, OMB Control No. 1902-0252); PRC-016-1 (Remedial Action Scheme Misoperations), PRC-017-1 (Remedial Action Scheme Maintenance and Testing), TOP-001-3 (Transmission Operations) and TOP-003-3 (Operational Reliability Data) are included in FERC- 725A (Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk-Power System, OMB Control No. 1902-0244). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Type of Respondents: Transmission owners, transmission operators, generator operators, and generator owners. Estimate of Annual Burden: \8\ Details follow on the changes in Docket Nos. RD18-1-000 and RD18-3-000 which will be submitted to OMB for approval in a consolidated package under FERC-725E. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \8\ 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimate of Changes to Burden Due to Docket No. RD18-1: The Commission estimates the reduction in the annual public reporting burden for the FERC-725E (due to the retirement of regional Reliability Standard VAR-002-WECC-2) as follows:9 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \9\ The reductions in burden and cost shown in the table are the same figures as those in the current OMB-approved inventory for the reporting and recordkeeping requirements that are now being retired. \10\ The hourly cost (for salary plus benefits) uses the figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for three positions involved in the reporting and recordkeeping requirements. These figures include salary (http://bls.gov/oes/current/naics2_22.htm) and benefits (http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm) and are: Manager: $89.07/hour, Engineer: $64.91/hour, and File Clerk: $31.19/hour. The hourly cost for the reporting requirements ($76.99) is an average of the cost of a manager and engineer. The hourly cost for recordkeeping requirements uses the cost of a file clerk.
