The Commission proposes to approve Reliability Standard MOD-001-2 along with its associated violation severity levels. The Commission also proposes the retirement of the Existing MOD A Standards effective on the first day of the first calendar quarter that is 18 months after the date that the proposed standard is approved by the Commission.
NERC states that the proposed implementation period is intended to provide NAESB sufficient time to include in its WEQ Standards, prior to the effective date of proposed MOD-001-2 and the retirement of the Existing MOD A Standards, those elements from the Existing MOD A Standards, if any, that relate to commercial or business practices and are not included in proposed Reliability Standard MOD-001-2. NERC adds that if NAESB and its members determine that elements from the Existing MOD A Standards need to be incorporated into the WEQ Standards, 18 months will provide NAESB time, working through its business practice development process, to adopt revised WEQ Standards and for the Commission to incorporate by reference those revised WEQ Standards into its regulations. NERC states that if the proposed implementation period does not provide NAESB sufficient time to consider the issues, NERC is committed to working with NAESB and Commission staff to address any timing issues. NERC requested that NAESB adopt any revised WEQ Standards to become effective on the same date that the proposed MOD-001-2 and the retirement of the Existing MOD A Standards will become effective.
The additional burden is due entirely to the adoption of the MOD-001-2 Reliability Standard. Specifically to review and modify existing methodologies, maintain documentation, and provide information to entities that need it.
