Commission staff coordinated with the staff of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) to conduct the annual oversight of NERC's Find, Fix, Track and Report (FFT) program, as outlined in the Commission's March 15, 2012 order,^[1] and the Compliance Exception (CE) Program, as proposed by NERC's September 18, 2015 annual compliance filing and accepted by delegated order.^[2]

Commission staff reviewed a sample of 29 of 206 FFTs and 34 of 1,619 CEs submitted by NERC between October 2024 and September 2025.

Commission staff found that the FFT and CE programs are meeting the Commission's expectations in accordance with FFT Order, with limited exceptions. Specifically, Commission staff identified one instance of an FFT in which the original description was incomplete. Staff also noted in two instances of CEs that the originally posted description had an inaccurate noncompliance start or end date. All 63 FFTs and CEs have been adequately remediated, and the root cause of each noncompliance was clearly identified. Commission staff also reviewed the supporting information for these FFTs and CEs and agreed with the final risk determinations for all 63 noncompliances, which clearly identified the factors affecting the risk prior to mitigation (such as potential and actual risk) and actual harm. Further, no FFTs or CEs sampled contained any material misrepresentations by the registered entities. Commission staff found that the Regional Entities appropriately identified all 63 of the sampled noncompliances as appropriate to be processed as FFTs and CEs.
