The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) requests that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review and approve modifications to the FERC-725S (Mandatory Reliability Standards: Emergency Preparedness and Operations (EOP) Reliability Standards) under OMB Control No. 1902-0270 for a three-year period. The FERC-725S collection was modified in Docket No. RD23-1-000 (Order Approving Extreme Cold Weather Reliability Standards EOP-011-3 and EOP-012-1 and Directing Modification of Reliability Standard EOP-012-1).
EOP-011-1 is the most recently replaced standard with version EOP-011-2 going into effect on April 1, 2023. After the Commission approved EOP-011-2, NERC revised that standard and submitted a revised version, EOP-011-3 and new EOP-012-1 to further update the Emergency Preparedness and Operations Standards. The updates in RD23-1-000 are from NERCâs petitionâs submitted Standards (EOP-011-3 and EOP-012-1) that were approved by the Commission February 16, 2023, with their effective dates starting in 2024.
US Code:
16 USC 824o
Name of Law: The Energy Policy Act of 2005
The increase in burden is due to the updates from EOP-011-3 to EOP-011-4.
