The Reliability Standard CIP-014-2 requires Transmission Owners and Transmission Operators to identify and protect Transmission stations and Transmission substations, and their associated primary control centers, that if rendered inoperable or damaged as a result of a physical attack could result in widespread instability, uncontrolled separation, or cascading within an Interconnection.
In terms of information collection requirements, there are two main types of PRA activities: 1) Create or maintain documentation showing performance of a certain task; and 2) Develop a physical security plan.
The reporting and recordkeeping requirements have not changed. Each requirement (including record-keeping requirements) in CIP-014-2 retains the same related hourly burden per response.
There are decreases (adjustments) in both the annual number of responses and the total annual burden hours, as follows.
⢠The decrease in the number of responses is due to normal industry fluctuations in NERC registration for the TO and TOP roles .
⢠The changes in burden and cost are due to (1)the decrease of 23 affected entities, with their related burden and (2) our modification of the calculations to average the annual burden and cost over the entire 5-year cycle of the Reliability Standardâs requirements (rather than having extreme increases or decreases depending on where in the 5-year cycle the PRA 3-year cycle and clearance fall).
