In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the terms of the previous clearance remain in effect. It is requested that FERC submit a discontinue request for the FERC-725L collection (OMB Control Number 1902-0261) as the burden for this collection has been moved into the FERC-725I (OMB Control Number 1902-0258).

The proposed information collection relates to the FERC-approved Reliability Standards, PRC-002-NPCC-01 & PRC-006-NPCC-01–. The PRC-002-NPCC-01 Reliability Standards require transmission owners and generator owners to provide recording capability necessary to monitor the response of the Bulk-Power System to system disturbances, including scheduled and unscheduled outages; requires each reliability coordinator to establish requirements for its area's dynamic disturbance recording needs; and establishes disturbance data reporting requirements. The information collection requirements in these Reliability Standards are under FERC collection, FERC-725I. The PRC-006-NPCC-01 Reliability Standards applies to generator owners, planning coordinators, distribution providers, and transmission owners in the Northeast Power Coordinating Council Region and is designed to ensure the development of an effective automatic underfrequency load shedding (UFLS) program to preserve the security and integrity of the Bulk-Power System during declining system frequency events in coordination with the NERC continent-wide UFLS Reliability Standard PRC-006-1.

Currently, FERC-725L (OMB Control No. 1902-0261) accounts for the information collection burden associated with Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC) Region. However, FERC-725I (OMB Control No. 1902-0258) also contains information collection burden associated with the NPCC. The Commission requests OMB approval to add the burden associated with FERC-725L to the existing burden in FERC-725I since both collections account for the information collection burden of Reliability Standards in NPCC. Later, FERC will request to remove the NPCC related burden hours from the FERC-725L. Currently, FERC divides all burden associated with a particular reliability region to be incorporated under the same OMB Control Number.
