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 this Reliability Standard 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. The requirements are included under FERC-725I.
The increase in the number of responses is due to natural changes and fluctuations in the industry. For PRC-002-NPCC-01, the number of respondents in R14.5, GO and TO maintenance and testing program for stand-alone disturbance monitoring equipment includes monthly verification of active analog quantities, was increased by 11, from 163 to 169.
In 2013 FERC requested and OMB approved adding the burden associated with FERC-725L (for Rel. Std. PRC-006-NPCC-01) to the existing burden in FERC 725-I since both collections account for the information collection burden of Reliability Standards in NPCC.
