The proposed information collection changes in Docket No. RD21â4â000 relate to the proposed Reliability Standard FAC-008-05 (Facility Ratings) developed by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), and submitted to the Commission for approval. The Commission received NERCâs petition to approve the proposed Reliability Standards.
On February 19, 2021, NERC filed a petition seeking approval of proposed Reliability Standard FAC-008-5. NERC states that proposed Reliability Standard FAC-008-5 reflects the retirement of Requirement R7 of the currently effective standard. NERC notes that this proposal was recommended following the first phase of work under the NERC Standards Efficiency Review and that in its Order No. 873 remanding a previously proposed version of the FAC-008 Reliability Standard, the Commission agreed that the retirement of Requirement R7 from the standard would not result in a reliability gap. In June 2019, following the conclusion of the standard development process, NERC submitted a series of standard retirement proposals to the Commission. Among the proposals, NERC submitted for Commission approval proposed Reliability Standard FAC-008-4, in which NERC proposed to retire Requirements R7 and R8 of currently effective Reliability Standard FAC-008-3.
The net changes for RD21-4, the -10,030 hours will affect the totals for the row stated âMandatory Reliability Standards for Bulk Power Systemâ. Any further adjustments in the total are due to fluctuations in industry and corrections of the estimates.
