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. RD24-5-000. EOP-012-1 is being replaced with version EOP-012-2 that will supersede requirements in EOP-012-1. The Commission has deferred decision on whether to approve or modify NERCâs proposed implementation plan for proposed Reliability Standard EOP-012-2 which was previously superseded by EOP-011-3) until NERC submits the revised applicability section for Reliability Standard EOP-012-1. The Reliability Standard EOP-012-1 when revised, will ensure all bulk electric system generating units are required to maintain cold weather preparedness plans and associated trainings.

In Docket No. RD24-5-000, NERC petitioned the Commission for approval of revisions to the EOP standards from EOP-012-1 to EOP-012-2. Due to the revision, the Commission is removing its estimates for EOP-012-1 and replacing them with our estimates for EOP-012-2. Thus, the removal includes all of the one-time costs associated with EOP-012-1 which includes the estimate for the Generator Operator (GOP). This results in a total reduction of -327 responses and -3,270 hours which were the onetime GOP costs. Further, the onetime costs associated with GO were increased by 841 responses and decreased by -49300 hours. This totals +222 responses and -68,592 hours.
