The Final Rule in RM16-22 retires the currently-effective Reliability Standard PRC-001-1.1(ii) System Protection Coordination) is being retired and all associated burden and cost will be removed. FERC-725Y (rather than FERC-725A) will cover the burden required by PER-006-1.
FERC-725A, in general. On August 8, 2005, The Electricity Modernization Act of 2005, which is Title XII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), was enacted into law. EPAct 2005 added a new section 215 to the FPA, which requires a Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) to develop mandatory and enforceable Reliability Standards, which are subject to Commission review and approval. Once approved the Reliability Standards may be enforced by the ERO, subject to Commission oversight. On March 16, 2007, in Order No. 693, pursuant to section 215(d) of the FPA, the Commission approved 83 of 107 proposed Reliability Standards, six of the eight proposed regional differences, and the NERC Glossary of Terms Used in Reliability Standards (NERC Glossary), Numerous changes have been made to FERC-725A and to Reliability Standards during the intervening period.
This Final Rule in Docket RM16-22 has a decrease in burden for FERC-725A due to retirement of the PRC-001-1.1(ii) Reliability Standard. The Commission approved the retirement of currently-effective Reliability Standard PRC 001 1.1(ii) (System Protection Coordination) (currently covered by FERC-725A).
