Reliability Standards: IRO Reliability
Standards).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0244 (FERC–

Type of Request: Revisions to the
information collections, as discussed in

Abstract: In a petition dated March 6,
2017, the North American Electric
Reliability Corporation (‘‘NERC’’)
requested Commission approval for
proposed Reliability Standards IRO–
002–5 (Reliability Coordination,
Monitoring and Analysis) and TOP–
001–4 (Transmission Operations). NERC
stated that the ‘‘proposed Reliability
Standards address the Commission
directives in Order No. 817 related to:
(i) Transmission operator monitoring of
non-bulk electric system (‘‘BES’’)
facilities; (ii) redundancy and diverse
routing of transmission operator,
balancing authority, and reliability
coordinator data exchange capabilities;
and (iii) testing of alternative or less
frequently used data exchange
capabilities.’’ In addition, NERC
requested Commission approval of the
retirement of Reliability Standards
TOP–001–3 and IRO–002–4. In an order
on April 17, 2017,1 the implementation
of Reliability Standard TOP–001–4 and
the retirement of Reliability Standard
TOP–001–3 was approved.
Type of Respondents: Transmission
operators (TOP), balancing authorities
(BA), and reliability coordinators (RC).
Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 The
Commission estimates the changes in
the annual public reporting burden and
cost as follows.3

Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the collections of

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES

4 Our

estimates are based on the NERC
Compliance Registry of 12/12/2016, which
indicates there are 323 entities registered as TOPs,
99 entities registered as BAs, and 11 entities
registered as RCs within the United States. One
entity may be registered as having several rules.
5 The hourly cost figures, for salary plus benefits,
for the new standards are based on Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) information (at http://www.bls.gov/
oes/current/naics2_22.htm), as of May 2015. For
reporting requirements, an electrical engineer (code
17–2071) is $64.29/hour; for the recordkeeping
requirements, an information and record clerk (code
43–4199) is $37.75/hour.
6 The reporting and recordkeeping requirements
and the associated burden will continue in TOP–
001–4 (formerly included in TOP–001–3, which is
now being retired). The corresponding estimated
burden for the 196 TOPs and BAs continues to be
96 hours per response (or a total estimated burden
of 18,816 hours).
7 Requirement R21 (applicable to TOPs in
ongoing yrs.) covers quarterly testing and associated
reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
Requirement R24 (applicable to BAs in ongoing
yrs.) covers quarterly testing and associated
engineering and recordkeeping requirements.
8 The reporting and recordkeeping requirements
and the associated burden will continue in IRO–
002–5 (burden formerly included in IRO–002–4,
which is being retired). The corresponding
estimated burden for the 11 RCs continues to be 24
hours per response (or a total estimated burden of
264 hours).
9 Requirement R3 (applicable to RCs in ongoing
yrs.) covers quarterly testing and associated
reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
