As stated by NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corp., the FERC-approved Electric Reliability Organization for the United States) in the Executive Summary of its Petition [footnotes omitted]:
âThe PRC-005 Reliability Standard helps ensure that entities have a program for the maintenance of their applicable Protection Systems, Automatic Reclosing, and Sudden Pressure Relaying so that they are kept in working order. The standard has been revised several times since its initial approval in Order No. 693 to incorporate interpretations, clarify applicability, and respond to Commission directives."
The requirements included here in FERC-725P1 will be moved to FERC-725G, long-term.
The majority of the previous burden estimate was based on one-time reviews, which are now completed, and being removed from FERC-725P1, giving the program reduction. Those one-time reviews included:
⢠a one-time review of existing plant and substation sites to determine which ones fall under PRC-005-6 and
⢠one-time review and adjustment of existing program for reclosing relays and associated equipment.
